"Our sales team is creating a higher volume of proposals and winning additional new accounts using ClientPoint"
THE SITUATION
Prior to using ClientPoint, the sales team at Seat King used a Microsoft Excel template to create their proposals. They would then save their proposals as pdf files before emailing them to prospective clients.
The problems and frustrations caused by the system were as follows:
- They were unable to track when prospective clients opened and viewed their proposals and they did not have any type of proposal analytics to know how and when prospects were interacting with their proposals.
- They thought their proposals looked unprofessional and did a poor job of visually representing their brand image.
THE SOLUTION
Overall, Seat King was not happy with their internal system for creating and managing proposals. They wanted a professional cloud-based proposal software solution that would create very attractive proposals while also providing robust proposal tracking and analytics tools. In their search they found ClientPoint. After participating in live demos of ClientPoint, they chose ClientPoint as their new proposal creation, tracking, and management system.Overall, Seat King was not happy with their internal system for creating and managing proposals.

THE RESULTS
- The proposals created by Seat King now look very professional and sophisticated, and provide an accurate reflection of the company's brand image of high quality. The sales team at Seat King often receives compliments from their prospective clients on how great their proposals look and that they like the personalized videos and interactivity of the proposals.
- Creating proposals is now easier and more enjoyable because of the proposal creation and automation tools, and the centralized online document library. This has encouraged the sales team to make their proposals more detailed, and they include more documents such as engineering files and personalized videos. This has improved the overall quality and depth of their proposals and is helping them win more new accounts.
- Because creating proposals is much easier now, their sales team is creating a higher volume of proposals and sending proposals to prospective clients they may not have sent a proposal to in the past. This is leading to Seat King winning additional new accounts.
- Seat King is now adding personalized videos to their proposals, which impresses prospective clients and is helping to shorten the sales cycle.
- Using the ClientPoint management center for proposal tracking and analytics, Seat King can now accurately track every proposal they send to prospects. They know exactly when a prospect views their proposal, how many times the prospect viewed their proposal, and what pages the prospect spent the most time viewing. They can also track proposal win/loss conversions and revenue forecasts.
