If you have multiple proposals that you need to create and send, take advantage of our bulk proposal creation process!
Prerequisite: Create proposal templates
Proposal templates are an efficient way to create a new proposal, giving you a kick-start to the proposal-building process! You can use proposal templates to:
Get high-quality proposals sent out faster while saving time
Standardize client engagements by creating templates your entire team can use with less hand-holding
Simplify your proposals by creating standardized templates for your most popular services
Accessing and editing your proposal templates
Before you begin creating proposals in bulk from a template, ensure that your templates are up-to-date.
You can access proposal templates in your Ignition account from the Templates tab → Proposals
🚀 Pro-tip: Use "relative" dates for billing rules when creating proposal templates. We recommend using on-acceptance or tying the start date to the proposal start (which could include a delay) as this will make templates easier to reuse year on year.
Recommended: Review your client list
We suggest that you check that your required client details are fully populated. This prevents any errors from occurring during the bulk proposal creation process.
To review and update your client list, you can export your client list by navigating to your Clients tab → Export → Clients.
Download the CSV file once it is sent to your email (or once you receive it from our team).
In the CSV file, check to make sure the following fields are not blank:
Client Name (Column B)
Contact Name (Column I)
Contact Email (Column J)
If you do not have any blank fields, simply continue to the next step of the bulk proposal process!
Otherwise, follow the steps below to correct this.
If you have blank fields
If any of those above fields are blank, simply fill them out and then save the CSV file. Be careful not to make any changes to any other fields - especially the Client ID field (Column A).
Then, click the Import button in your Clients tab and import the CSV file to your account to bulk update your entire client list.
