Proposable: SalesForce integration at a reasonable cost.

Pros

  • Proposable Integrates fairly well with Salesforce by fetching contact's data and also updating the Opportunity status automatically when the client signs off.
  • I can add and take out sections to the proposals giving me the flexibility to create proposals for different scopes without writing everything from scratch.

Cons

  • The user interface is not intuitive and you'll need some time to understand where things are.
  • The structure of the proposals is sort of rigid and is difficult to create really beautiful documents (unless you are a genius designer).

Return on Investment

  • Proposable is not my ideal solution, but it met the requirements of integrating with Salesforce to avoid duplicate data entry and automatic status update.
  • I haven't seen an increase in won proposals compared with other systems.
  • Overall, it does its job fairly well though it has room for improvement.

Great Contract Software for SMBs!

Pros

  • It's easy to e-sign: click the accept button, e-sign, and you're done!
  • You can create and modify templates.
  • It's easy for our sales reps to quickly make adjustments depending on the contract terms.
  • Prospects can chat and write messages with questions they have within proposable.

Cons

  • Sometimes the interface gets stuck and it can be super clunky when making adjustments to your basic templates.
  • More times than we'd like to admit, Proposable has timed out and we've had to reach out to their support team about the software not working.
  • Every once in a while, the link we send out for the proposal doesn't work and has to be resent.

Return on Investment

  • The automation to our billing page has definitely increased conversions from an accepted proposal to running a payment.
  • It's made our sales process much more fluid by having approved templates which avoid reps having to waste hours tracking down management for approval.
