Quote
A Quote is a formal commercial document presented to a prospective customer that specifies the products or services being offered, the pricing and terms, the proposed contract duration, and any applicable discounts, representing the vendor's official offer for the customer's consideration and acceptance. In CRM-connected workflows, quotes are generated from the opportunity record, automatically pulling in product and pricing data from the catalog and applying approved discount rules. Quote generation speed and accuracy are significant competitive factors: long delays from discovery to formal quote, or quotes with pricing errors that require renegotiation, damage buyer confidence and extend sales cycles. E-signature integration with CRM allows accepted quotes to trigger automatic deal closure and document filing.
