How to Create a New Proposal for Water Purification Job Type?

Why does this matter?

The new Water Purification proposal flow makes it easier to create proposals using pre-built water purification products, adders, packages, and preferences. Once these are set up, your team can quickly select the right options for a customer instead of adding everything manually for every proposal.

Real World Example

A water purification company wants to create a proposal for a new customer.

The team first adds its available water purification products and adders to the database. They then create a package that includes the products and adders the customer may need and set up a preference.

When creating the proposal, the salesperson enters the customer's information, selects Water Purification as the job type, confirms the address, and looks up the water report. They can then select the appropriate package and finish the proposal without manually adding each product and adder.

Pro Tip

Set up your water purification products, adders, packages, and preferences before your sales team starts creating proposals. This keeps the proposal process faster and makes it easier for everyone to use the same products and pricing.

Also, review the package before sending the proposal. The Edit button lets you view the products and adders included in the package and adjust the unit price and quantity of adders when needed.
