Overall Satisfaction with Proposify
Those involved with business development use Proposify on a daily basis to draft, revise, and finalize statements of work with new and existing clients. Our account management team also uses Proposify to keep track of project scope, compensation, and deliverable timing. Proposify serves as our SOW pipeline as well as a repository active and expired contracts between our agency and clients.
- Proposal templates cut down on unbillable time spent writing, revising, and executing proposals.
- The electronic signature for the agreement is integrated into the statement of work, eliminating the need for multiple platforms and streamlining the deal closing process.
- Provides internal visibility into pending and existing deals to those on the team who we grant access. This eliminates a lot of emails and questions about scope, compensation, and timing.
- The selectable checkbox feature allows the client to select only the services they want, which reduces the need for revisions while clarifying the full range of offerings we provide.
- The text editor is slow, buggy, and the Achilles heel of the Proposify platform. It got worse with the launch of their new UI.
- The new interface was launched way before it was ready for prime-time. As a result, there are still quite a few bugs Proposify has yet to fix. Once you upgrade to the new interface, you can't go back.
- It's not uncommon to have sections of a proposal disappear entirely from the PDF version.
- Depending on the browser, formatting can be far different that the creator intended.
- Reduced unbillable hours spent writing and revising proposals
- Enabled upsells to clients who come for a small scope
- Caused confusion among less tech-savvy clients which required us to walk them through the revision and signing process.
- Eliminated the need to have separate document signing software
