Proposal Pipeline

Six statuses. One unified hub.

Every proposal tracks through six lifecycle states from draft through acceptance or expiry. The Proposals Hub aggregates Advanced proposals, Quick Quotes, and Ops quotes into a single pipeline with dashboard and list views.

Automate and Analyze

Three triggers. Win/loss analytics.

Event-driven automation sequences follow up on sent, viewed, or expiring proposals. Win/loss analytics track conversion across types, verticals, and team members.

Automation Sequences

Three triggers. Four step types. Five exits.

Event-driven automation sequences follow up automatically after proposals are sent, viewed, or approaching expiry. Email, SMS, wait, and conditional branch steps. Sequences stop on acceptance, decline, expiry, manual stop, or any response.

Triggers

Proposal Sent

Sequence starts when proposal is delivered to client via email or public link.

Proposal Viewed

Fires when client opens proposal for the first time. View tracking timestamp triggers the sequence.

Proposal Expiring

Fires when proposal approaches its validity expiry date. Configurable lead time before deadline.

Step types

Email

Custom subject and body with merge fields. Client name, proposal value, expiry date, and custom field tokens.

SMS

Text message with merge fields. Short-form follow-ups for high-priority proposals.

Wait

Delay between steps. Configure hours or days. Prevents overwhelming clients with back-to-back messages.

Conditional

If/else branches based on proposal status. Route sequence differently for viewed versus unopened proposals.

Exit conditions

Accepted (client accepted the proposal)
Declined (client declined the proposal)
Expired (validity period elapsed)
Manual Stop (user manually ends the sequence)
Any Response (any client action terminates the sequence)
Analytics and CMA

Proposal analytics track conversion rates, pipeline value, response times, and engagement metrics. For real estate verticals, Comparative Market Analysis reports generate comp-based pricing with PDF export.

Win/Loss
Conversion rates across proposal types, verticals, and team members. Track acceptance, decline, and expiry ratios.
Pipeline Value
Total pipeline value by status. See revenue in draft, sent, and accepted stages. Compare trend analysis.
