Proposal & SOW Creation

Q: Will automation work with our existing CRM data and proposal templates?

Yes. Automation integrates with your CRM to pull client and project data, and it works with your existing proposal templates.

Q: Can we track whether clients have opened or signed the proposal?

Yes. Automation sends proposals and monitors open rates, read status, and signature completion without requiring manual follow-up from your team.

Q: What if we have multiple service types or proposal formats?

Automation classifies each deal by service type and selects the correct template automatically. You can maintain as many templates as you need, and the system learns which one to use based on project scope.

Q: Do we need to change how our sales team works today?

No. Your team continues to mark deals as ready in the CRM or send a trigger email.

Turn a client brief into a polished, signed proposal without days of back-and-forth formatting and pricing.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Deal marked readytrigger

Workflow triggers when a sales rep marks a deal as ready for proposal, pulling client name, scope, budget, and timeline automatically.

2. Classify service type and select template

The automation analyzes the project scope and service type to select the correct proposal template (web design, branding, strategy, etc.).

3. Populate proposal

The automation creates a new document from the selected template, populating client name, project details, timeline, and pricing data.

4. Generate SOW and add to document

The automation generates the detailed scope of work, deliverables, and acceptance criteria based on the project scope and service type, inserting it into the document.

5. Route to manager for review

The document is shared with the assigned manager notification with a link to review and approve within 24 hours.

6. Convert to PDF and send

Once approved, the document is converted to PDF and sent to the client for e-signature, with automatic read and signature tracking enabled.

7. Log completion and notify team

When the client signs, the automation updates the deal status and sends a notification to the sales rep and manager.
