Manual creation and management of proposals using Microsoft Word
Why Prospero
Prospero allows the company to create proposals, save them as templates, and put everything together in a very professional output.
The Company
KnackBuilders is an independent consulting company owned by Dave Parrish, providing cloud database app development and training to different companies, primarily using low-code app building platforms. Their audience is business managers looking to streamline their processes and make them more efficient.
The Challenge
The company needs highly professional-looking proposals that were easily and quickly constructed to save time. The Knack App Development team initially used Microsoft Word to manually draft their proposals. It was a tedious experience because proposals were difficult to manage back then.
The team was introduced by a colleague to a proposal management software, Prospero. As Dave shared, “I was sold almost immediately after being introduced to Prospero. Its proposal are excellent along with the ability to save templates. The cloud-based solution is great too.”
The Solution
Three years after trying out Prospero from a random recommendation, Dave still believes that the software is one to keep.
What he loves most about Prospero is its seamless and easy onboarding and user-friendliness. “Very easy to onboard. The user interface for creating a proposal is quite intuitive,” he says.
Creating your proposals for their clients is one thing Dave sees as a walk in the park. “Once you create your first proposal, you can also save that as a template, and following proposals are put together very quickly in a very professional output,” he reiterates.
Prospero is a proposal management solution that’s cloud-based, “and even the ability to provide your clients links to the proposal and notification when they opened it” is also another thing that made it a perfect companion for closing new clients as per Dave.
Although generating proposals is not something the company do on a daily basis, when demands call for it, Dave uses Prospero. “I definitely put together the proposals much faster, probably about 1/3rd of the time,” he shares.
“I come from a marketing and sales background, and know the importance of being ultra professional during the whole sales process. Prospero delivers there.“
