How It Works

You can build specific documents, emails, and pricing grids to meet the needs of your different clients and marketing scenarios. You might create different sales campaigns for leads, existing clients, or upsells for services you offer. Using different document templates and emails lets you gear your presentation to various audiences.

Example

For example, you might offer silver, gold, and platinum bundles, so you would build grids specific to each bundle. Next, you would add appropriate bundles to the estimate. Or you might list multiple services in the estimate for the client to select. You might even want to use a different language to address a commercial client versus a residential client.

By investing time in setting up documents and pricing, you’ll streamline the process for your future estimates.
