QuoteValet
|
 |
QuoteValet is the online quote delivery and acceptance
vehicle for QuoteWerks. QuoteValet is a more robust way to deliver
quotes to your customers and prospects.
Rather than attaching a PDF file to the quote and emailing it to your
customer, QuoteValet will create a personalized web page to present the
quote on quotevalet.com
The advantage of using QuoteValet is that you will actually know when
your customer has received the quote. You will know when they have
viewed the quote and how often they review the quote.
Your customer will be able to change quote options dynamically and ask
you questions through the customized quote page (keeping all
communication together). Most importantly, they will be able to
electronically accept and sign the quote!
QuoteValet is an additional
Subscription.

Word Merging
|
 |
You can now create Microsoft Word based
quotes and proposals from within QuoteWerks rather than using our
built-in layout designer.
Everyone knows how to use Microsoft Word. Word is more flexible than
report designers and it is easy to design a Word based Quote layout
since you already know how to use Word. QuoteWerks simply inserts the
data into your Word document wherever you want it. After merging, it is
easy to make changes or tweaks to the Word document providing you the
best of both worlds - macro replacement and the ability to edit
afterwards. To top it all off, QuoteWerks then automatically saves your
data merged Word document as a PDF file and links it into the quote.
Advantages of Word
Merging:
- You can choose to insert only certain item types into certain
areas of the Word document
- You can have your service items on Page 2 and have your product
items on page 5
- You can have item type total summaries anywhere in the Word
Document
- You can include Line item Product Pictures in the the Word
document

HTML Email
|
 |
The QuoteWerks built-in E-mail client now
supports HTML E-mail. You can do text formatting - Fonts, Bold,
Color, etc. You can include images (Linked
or Embedded). QuoteWerks Macro fields can even be merged into the email.
The E-mail window has been updated with a new interface including a
resizable window. The new HTML email client works with both the built-in
QuoteWerks SMTP email and the QuoteWerks automation of Outlook. First
impressions are important. Now, your customer's first impression when
receiving the quote will be an HTML formatted email with your branding
versus just plain text. |

Quote Approval and Peer Review
|
 |
Have you ever had a sales rep email a quote
to a customer that you wished you had reviewed before the customer
received it? You now have that power within QuoteWerks!
With the new Approval Requirements feature you can require that your
sales reps obtain approval from you before a quote can be printed,
emailed, or uploaded to QuoteValet.
Per Sales Rep. You can activate the Approval requirement per
sales rep, and define under which conditions the approval is required
and by who the approval needs to be obtained from.
Per Document or Line Item. An Approval requirement can be
triggered on a document or line item level. For example, if any single
item's margin is less than 5%, then this quote requires an approval, or
if the margin on the entire quote is less than 15%, then this quote
requires an approval.
Approval Escalation. When an approval is required, you can
specify who is authorized to approve the quote. For example, if the
quote amount is greater than 10,000 it requires the single approval from
the sales reps manager. If the quote amount is greater than 50,000 then
it requires a single approval from an escalated approver such as the
CEO. If the quote amount is greater than 100,000 then it requires
multiple approvals from escalated approvers such as the CEO and CFO.
There are many different scenarios that can be accounted for.
When used with the optional QuoteValet subscription, the approval
features are greatly extended. |

Mutually Exclusive Items
& Optional Groups
|
 |
Entire Groups (rather than just individual
line items) can now be flagged as optional!
Individual items and Groups
can now be set as mutually exclusive, so selecting one optional group
will automatically de-select the other optional group or item.
While a quote can have, for example, 3 grouped options, you can now
set one of the options as the selected (or recommended) option. These
new features are particularly useful with the QuoteValet integration, as
you can present one or more mutually exclusive options to your customer
and you can pre-select the option that you recommend. Even when not
using QuoteValet, these features still save you time. |

Heading Lines
|
 |
There is now a new "Heading" type line item
in QuoteWerks. Typically Comment type line items would be also be used
as Headings. Now, there are defined Heading and Comment line items.
When Heading lines are used, on the Add Item Assistant or from the
Bundles, or Configurator, you can choose to insert the item as the first
item under the heading, or append the item the last item under the
Heading. When appending it as the "last" item under the Heading, it uses
some "artificial Intelligence", so if the last items under the heading
are a blank comment line, % charge line, % discount line, or subtotal
line, then the item is added above those items.
Heading lines are also useful in the printed output as Heading type
line items can have their font larger and bold, whereas comments could
be the same font size as the regular Product/Service line items.
Some examples for Heading lines would be like:
- "Family Room"
- "Master Bedroom"
- "Theater Room"
- "Service"
- "Parts"
- "Servers"
- "Workstations"
- "Services"
- "Managed Services"
- "Anti-Virus"
- "Monitoring"

Multiple Email Signatures
|
 |
You can now have more than one email signature. In fact, you have a Standard, Short, Alternate1, Alternate2, and Alternate3 email signatures. During each season of the year, you might have a slightly different e-mail signature and now you can keep them all instead of replacing it each time. Sometimes you want to include your signature complete with your full address, phone number, title, etc. Other times you will just want to include your Short signature, like just your name, title, and phone number. The short signature is particularly good for QuoteValet "Your Quote is Ready" emails to your customers. There are also Email signature macros for email templates. Rather than typing in your email signature into each email template you setup, you can use email signature macros in them, making it easy to change your email signature in one place. |
 |
|
|
Email Templating System
|
 |
The email templating system will allow you to customize all the emails that QuoteWerks sends. The E-mail Templates window can stay open while sending e-mails in QuoteWerks making it easy to quickly make adjustments and preview the results. There are System, Public and User E-Mail templates. The System templates can be directly modified by users with Master Rights. Users can also create their own templates to be used from the Send Email window. Public templates are templates that most users would want to use, typically with company standardized information in them. The real benefit is that changes can be made in one template, and all the users now are using the updated template. There is now a new "Select Template" dropdown on the Send Email window. When a template is selected, the subject and body of the email will be updated with the information from the template.
|
 |
|
|
Email Snippets
|
 |
Email Snippets are a great way to centrally organize and maintain information that is used in multiple email templates. If you have two email templates that need to include the same information, you could of course type that same information into both email templates, and then when you need to make a change, you will need to remember to change it in both email templates. If you entered that information into a Snippet, and then used a macro in the two email templates to refer to that Snippet, then you could just make changes to the information in the Snippet and the changes will automatically appear in the two email templates. There are Public and User E-Mail Snippets.
