Quote Robot – Create, Send & Track Bids
Regardless of what industry you are in you have likely had experience with the black hole process that is proposals. You email off the quote and then just sit back and wait days, weeks, maybe even months for a reply. QuoteRobot is trying to streamline that process with a new web app that helps you prepare the quote, send it, and then track your clients viewing of it. If it feels a little big-brotherish that’s because it is, which could end up hurting the product in the end.
Any client could potentially click through on the QuoteRobot logo and read the promotional materials about the product. They might discover that you are tracking their page views and immediately dismiss you as an option. The majority of clients won’t care how you send the quote though. And with those clients you can learn a lot about their thought process. Did they focus on the pricing page or the capabilities page? If it is pricing, maybe you should proactively lower your price or send them a new project you just finished to prove your up for their project.
Another great feature of QuoteRobot is the formatting of the actual bid. By filling out just a few forms you can easily format a professional-looking proposal. Most impressive is the layout of the timeline.
Prices start at $6 per month and go up to an unlimited plan for $24.
