Proposal Templates

Overview

Note: Help content (except videos) has been updated to reflect the UI/UX changes in BQE CORE.

You can create new proposals in BQE CORE CRM either from scratch or from existing proposal templates. If your company deals with certain types of offerings to certain types of clients, you can expedite generating the proposals by using templates. With templates, you can get off to a quick start on reaching out to your prospects. After creating standard templates, you can then create new proposals from them easily and quickly.

You must create different proposal templates containing general or common data that you want to copy to similar new proposals. For example, you can create a generic proposal and save it as a template. When you are dealing with prospects, you can base the proposal on this existing template and save time entering all the common properties from scratch. You can edit the templates if required.
