Configure, Price + Quote (CPQ)
Description
The Configure, Price + Quote (CPQ) milestone streamlines your quoting process, enabling your team to generate quotes and proposals faster and with fewer errors. By creating custom quote templates and automating key steps, we’ll ensure that your team can efficiently produce professional, accurate proposals. Automation will also trigger follow-ups and onboarding workflows once quotes are signed, keeping the process seamless from proposal to implementation. Additionally, we’ll create reports to analyze proposal data, providing insights into win/loss rates, common line items, and revenue trends to refine your sales strategy.
