Better Proposals Erfahrungen

Vorteile

The template-rich platform makes it super easy to select a template and tweak it for our own individual use-case. It's like someone has done the research as to what you need in a particular proposal and all you have to do is go in and make a few changes to customize it to your particular case. Also, all the proposals are beautiful and easy to navigate by the clients. Clients are always impressed when they view a proposal from Better Proposals!

Nachteile

I didn't really like the fact that Zapier integration is only reserved for their higher plans. To me that is somewhat restrictive for those on the lower paid plan as the sooner automation is a part of one's workflow - the better! To reserve that only for the higher paid plans to me doesn't make much sense.

Vorteile

In previous roles, proposals have been crudely formatted word documents or presentation pitch decks. It took a little while to get used to the system, but once you have the gist of how it works, it's incredibly easy to use. We consistently receive great feedback from prospects about the proposals.

It's incredibly easy to use internally and doesn't feel 'cluttered'.

Nachteile

It does take a little while to get used to, but that would be the case with any system.
There are a few little features that would be useful, but none that I would deem critical.

Vorteile

It is very flexible, and there is a lot of good video tutorials if you want to master your proposals. Another thing is that it is not only for proposals, but you can send contracts, information and much more. It looks very professional and the customer support is the fastest I´ve ever experienced.

Nachteile

To be honest I don´t have many cons with Better Proposals. It might not be for every business, but for me it is pretty much spot on.

Vorteile

I like that I can make a proposal, save things as a template, and make a decent looking proposal.

Nachteile

I found the template builder a little bit clunky with the design and lost my designs a few times as I was learning the platform.

Easy to use, allowed us to make sure that we could customise our proposals to each client and in a short time. A very professional system.

Nachteile

I can't think of anything I didn't like.

Vorteile

I absolutely love the activity tracking on proposals - I've avoided several misunderstandings by spotting that new customers hadn't read important parts of their proposals and was able to gently ask, "and everything was OK with the payment terms/timeline/bit where you promised to write amazing website content yourself?" and draw their attention back to it.

The marketplace of templates is fantastic too, though I still need to re-write things in my own tone and for my own company's use cases.

Nachteile

I can't think of much to dislike. I do sometimes find the pricing tables a little fiddly but that's because they made them a lot more flexible for us. It's still a million times easier than any other way I can think of doing it.

Vorteile

The ability to customize the branding is huge. However, the ability for me to know when my client has seen the proposal and where they left off helps me in my follow up.

Nachteile

My least favorite thing about the software is the text editor. It is sometimes hit and miss when it wants to show up. Maybe its operator error but that is the only frustration I have.

Vorteile

Better Proposals allows me to send professional proposals to my clients easily and efficiently. My proposals are better than some business's websites. My conversion rates are over 70%.

Nachteile

Nothing to dislike, Better Proposals is an ace in my book.

Vorteile

This service is great for our sales and marketing team and is appealing to our clients when they receive a proposal or contract due to its branding capabilities and UX and UI.

Nachteile

Only downside I can see is the editing can be slow when they are fixing problems such as the pricing table but rarely does this happen

Vorteile

It makes your branding look polished, professional, and leaves a good impression. It's easy to use because it's digital and allows you to track the reader's movements which is helpful.

Nachteile

Formatting and aesthetics can sometimes be very cumbersome.

Vorteile

Coming from making Google Docs proposals, this platform was indeed Better. I was able to take advantage of their vast template library and quickly send proposals to clients. I liked how it tracked views for each individual recipient and how the dashboard was able to show you how much sales you have closed.

Nachteile

I was using the basic plan and even tho I never maxed their allowed proposals per month, I still found that intimidating.

Vorteile

The formate is as I wanted it to be and I haven't seen it like this in other apps

Nachteile

The CRM lacks a tab to source contacts.
On occasion it glitches e.g i add a cost in and then look back to see it didn't write it correctly

Vorteile

The best features about this product is that its easy to use, and comes with a great range of templates for any scenario so you can start building and customising your online proposal. The features like taking payment are great, along with buying able track potential clients is really handy. The support from the team via the chat is great as well, I have found the team at Better Proposal to be super helpful in getting us setup. Also like the feature to be able to white label (mask) the domain name so all our proposal look like they are developed from our site. The customisation is great in what you can do, and being able to save containers and pages for future proposals is very handy. We have been able to reduce our time on getting a proposal out now which is resulting in more conversations.

Nachteile

There could be some a bells and whistles, but the basics to what you need are in place. Would love to be able to customise the font to select any of the google fonts, but it's not a deal breaker.

Vorteile

As someone who's explored various proposal software, I've found that BetterProposal.io truly shines as a standout product. Its intuitive design and user experience immediately set it apart. With BetterProposal.io, creating a proposal is not just about getting the job done; it's about crafting an experience for the client. The high-quality templates and interactive widgets like pricing tables, live chat, and e-signatures elevate my proposals to a level of professionalism and interactivity that I haven't seen matched elsewhere.

Nachteile

I have not found this product to have any cons.

Vorteile

Easy to use/ get set up/ track activity such as opens and clicked, amazing UI to build proposals, and integrated into our payment provider.

Nachteile

Nothing negative to say - this software works very well and the UI is awesome.

Vorteile

The fact that it is so user friendly and the simplicity of it.

Nachteile

Nothing

Vorteile

The proposals look great and are fast and easy to use, for me and the client.

Nachteile

Being from a small country our specific payment process (mollie.com) is not supported, but that's okay. If this was critical I could always use STRIPE as that is supported.

Vorteile

I love how much it makes my job easier! The two most common projects I have to write a proposal for are website builds, and logo/branding packages. Which are NOT quick to write up, as there are so many line items and details to cover. This software makes this part of my job a lot easier.

Nachteile

There's a bit of a learning curve, and the price is higher than me just going into Google Docs or Creative Cloud (a package I'm paying for anyway) - but I think it's worth the extra money for a unique, task-specific tool like this.

Vorteile

It's so easy to use. No learning curve. And LOVE all of the new templates.
I also love how I receive an email immediately after a client signs the document.
I like how Better Proposal lets me know how long the client has read the proposal- it let's me know if they are serious or not.
The software itself is very simple, and professional. Better Proposals definitely steps up your game with their professional onboarding system.

Nachteile

I cant think of any. So far I am really happy with it

Vorteile

I love the design and how professional proposals look. I often get compliments on how professional my business looks using this platform. Also, love the notifications i get when a client has viewed or signed the proposals.

Nachteile

I don't really like the PDF version of the proposals. If I use images and not enough text to fill the page it add a lot of white space to the file which does not look that great. The web version looks great thought.

Vorteile

Better Proposals is a great asset to my business, it keeps me one step ahead of my competitors with my quotations looking stunning and is definitely having a positive effect in securing more work. The team at better proposals are brilliant! their technical knowledge is brilliant and the entire team offers a very friendly service.

Nachteile

Being a SME, I'm always on the go, so an app would be great for me to create proposals on the go if you're not so savvy with computers, it's not easy to set up better proposals with Xero accounting software however, in saying this, the technical team went above and beyond in helping me do this which I'm extremely grateful for

Vorteile

The time saving compared to traditional proposal writing are huge! What took me over 2 hours to do previously, now takes just 30 minutes.
The ability to make your proposals simple, informative and professional has increased our conversion rate and it's only getting better.

A must buy!

Nachteile

A deeper integration to our CRM would be useful along with an internal sign off process but the rest of the functionality of the software definitely make up for what it doesn't have.

Vorteile

There are many templates to choose as starting points that can be customized by my specific needs. I LOVE the fact that I can see when my clients open the proposals, and the online signing feature is super-convenient for my out-of-state clients.

Nachteile

The saved PDF of the proposal isn't the prettiest; I wish I could set page breaks to make things flow nicer. However, this is made to be an online platform so my clients view the proposal using the link. I rarely have the need to save and print the PDF.

Vorteile

It's really user-friendly, at least as simple as using Word, Pages or Wordpress. The best thing was to find lots of pre-made templates that matched my business offerings. So, not only did I get a sharp design, but I saved days of writing copy since it was around a 70% match to what I'd say anyway.

Nachteile

No real issues, I found a couple of buttons that didn't work properly. I had to move the cursor a little for the button to activate. (Not sure if that was browser problem though).

Vorteile

It doesn't just allow me to create proposals that look great, I'm able to observe how my potential clients use and react to the proposal. Allowing me to follow up at the right time with the right information... to gently nudge them over the line.

Nachteile

My only bug bear with Better Proposals is that I can't switch off the .00s for cents / pence. There are enough 0's in my prices to begin with. If they get that sorted I'll bump my rating from 99% to a full 100%!
