# How Do I Approve Discounts on Sales Quotes Automatically?

You approve discounts on sales quotes automatically by setting a standard discount range that does not require extra approval, while anything beyond it routes automatically before the quote reaches the customer. On **Jestor**, this connects directly to the **CRM** pipeline.

Unmanaged discounting is one of the quietest ways a company loses margin, not through one big mistake, but through many small, inconsistent exceptions granted without a clear rule.

## What causes inconsistent discounting

- Different reps granting different discount levels for similar deals
- No defined threshold for when a discount needs approval
- Discounts approved after the customer has already seen the quote
- No visibility into how often exceptions to standard pricing are granted

## How automated discount approval works

- Discounts within a standard range do not require additional approval
- Discounts beyond that range trigger an automatic approval request
- **Alcada** rules route based on discount size or total deal value
- Approval happens before the customer sees the final quote, not after

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Discount rules apply consistently across every sales rep
- Approval connects directly to the same CRM pipeline the sales team already uses
- Visibility into discount frequency helps refine standard pricing over time
- SLA tracking keeps discount approval from slowing down the sales cycle

| Discount level        | Approval requirement          |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| Within standard range | No additional approval needed |
