Proposals

Create proposals in CRM, link them to deals later if needed, and export cleanly.

Manage proposals from the CRM proposal workspace, start from an optional template, send by email, export to PDF, and keep proposal records available from both contact-level and deal-linked views.

  • Create proposals independently from a contact, then attach them to a deal later if the opportunity structure changes.
  • Use the proposal management and export flows for document control and reuse.
  • Keep customer-facing commercial documents in the same system as the underlying CRM context.

Template

Base commercial layout

Start from a reusable structure when speed and consistency matter.

Export

PDF and email ready

Send the current version or export it cleanly without leaving the CRM workflow.

Problem

Commercial documents become hard to trust when versions, deals, and exports are managed in separate tools.

Proposal work slows down when teams rebuild the same layouts, lose track of what was sent, and cannot tell whether the document is connected to the right opportunity.

01

Templates are inconsistent

Every user starts from a different old file, so document quality drifts over time.

02

Linkage is unclear

Teams struggle to tell whether the proposal belongs to a contact, a live deal, or both.

03

Export and email are fragmented

Sending and PDF generation feel like separate chores instead of part of one commercial flow.

Solution

Keep proposals managed, exportable, and deal-aware from one CRM workspace.

The proposal module supports both independent proposal creation and tighter deal linkage, which makes it practical for early-stage quoting and structured pipeline work alike.

Contact-level and deal-level access

Work with proposals from the contact context or from the opportunity they support.

Optional template start

Begin from a template when consistency matters, or customize freely for the current customer.

PDF export and email flow

Move from editing to customer delivery without switching into an external document tool.

Late deal linkage

Attach the proposal to a deal later when the opportunity structure becomes clearer.

How It Works

Create the proposal, link it where needed, then export or send the current version.

The proposal flow stays usable for both fast quoting and structured deal-driven sales work.

1

Open the proposal workspace

Create the proposal from the contact context or the proposal management screen.

2

Choose a template if useful

Start from an optional base layout, then adapt the content for the customer and scope.

3

Link to the deal when ready

Attach the proposal to the opportunity immediately or later as the pipeline structure evolves.

4

Export or email

Use the PDF export and email flow to deliver the proposal without breaking the CRM paper trail.
