When dealing with sales, it can be easy for business owners and professionals to get caught up in the process of quoting and pricing, instead of spending time actually selling their product.
Pricing and revenue management software provider PROS recently announced a newly enhanced quoting solution to help companies speed up the quoting process.
Quote2Win is a native application developed for use on Salesforce’s Force.com that aims to help small and medium sized businesses with sales quoting and pricing.
Said Patrick Schneidau, Vice President of Product Marketing for PROS:
“As expanding small and medium-sized companies face the need to grow theirsales headcounts, as well as address an increasing number of products and new competition, they often find that their existing pricing and quoting processes no longer scale. And in today’s environment, winning deals is based on a company’s speed and agility to respond to customer’s needs, so they need a better answer.”
The service aims to eliminate the need for multiple price books and spreadsheets, allowing salespersons to give quicker answers to clients regarding pricing and discounts.
Said Schneidau:
“With Quote2Win, sales teams can increase their effectiveness, providing a sales quote in hours versus days or weeks. From their familiar Salesforce.comworkflows, they can respond more quickly and with greater ease, giving them more time to sell.”
More specifically, Quote2Win allows users to create a custom list of products and their prices, allowing them to account for promotions and discounts, bundles with other essential items, markups, total revenue from sales, and more. Users can create a completely custom pricing system, or use one of Quote2Win’s standard pricing methods.
Of course there are plenty of pricing solutions currently available, such as the native Salesforce quoting tool. But Quote2Win’s customization and simplified features, along with its integration with the popular Salesforce, could make it a helpful tool for small businesses that want to simplify the pricing process as their business grows.
