Take sales for instance. I know a great many awesome SEOs who have never been as successful as they could, or should, be simply because they are not salespeople. They understand algorithms, they understand what search engines want, but they struggle with getting potential clients to commit. They don’t have time to do all the things required to close a sale, they are too busy working. We fall squarely in to that category, and that is why we built our proposal software, to help us reduce the amount of time spent putting together proposals for potential clients.

How often do you find yourself putting together an initial proposal, one that looks like a hundred other initial proposals that you have done, and thinking that you had done this before, or looking for your word template so you can do a search and replace for basic things like your client’s name? phpProposal is designed specifically for these instances. How many more initial proposals could you get out to potential clients if you could put together a proposal in a few minutes rater than a few hours? How many potential clients could you save because now when you see an email asking for a proposal you can take it seriously and fire off a reply, with a proposal and price instead of ignoring it until you have time to work on it?

phpProposal is fully customizable with templates for design and content so you can build your proposal exactly the way you want. You can even include a brief contract at the end to further streamline the process and get more jobs. Or at the very least, give the tire kickers something to look at and decide if they are really serious about hiring your for your expertise and not eat up a lot of your time with more and more proposal requests.

Proposal Tip:

This Agreement shall be effective upon receipt of initial payment.

or

Payment constitutes acceptance of contract.

and then include a way for the client to pay you easily, either by check, credit card, or even PayPal. This puts a call to action right in front of the client and puts the urgency of moving forward squarely in their hands. It is now up to them to choose to go forward or not.

Writing proposals can take valuable time. Large portions of each proposal we make is boilerplate, standard, information that is then tailored to each potential client. phpProposal gives you the ability to automate much of the proposal creation process by entering a few pieces of key information and allowing our software to do the work. When finished a pdf is created for your client and all you have to do is attach it to an email and send it out.

phpProposal is also customizable. You can adjust the templates to fit your needs. Change text to fit your company and way of doing business. And add your own logo to make sure that your proposals look professional and unique.
