How Do I Manage Proposals and Pricing for New Clients?
You manage proposals by building them from a price list and templates, sending them through internal approval, tracking the client's response, and recording the outcome for future reference. On Jestor, this runs through a Pipe, Approvals, and a services price table.
Proposals written from scratch take time, and prices set by feeling vary between account managers. Clients receive inconsistent offers, and the agency does not learn from the proposals it loses. A consistent proposal process also makes the agency look more professional, since clients compare offers and notice when one is clear, well structured, and delivered quickly.
What improvised proposals cost
- Hours spent rebuilding similar proposals
- Inconsistent prices for similar work
- Proposals sent without margin review
- No data on why proposals are won or lost
- Slow replies that give competitors time to answer first
How structured proposals work
- A price table lists services, hours, and rates
- A template builds the proposal from selected items
- Approvals check margin before it is sent
- Status tracks sent, negotiating, won, or lost with a reason
- Previous accepted proposals can be reused as a starting point
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Proposals are produced faster and consistently
- Margin checks protect profitability
- Reasons for losses show where to improve
- This scales from occasional proposals to a steady pitch pipeline
