Streamline Quote Sending with CPQ: Ditch the Manual Checklist
Automate Quote Delivery and Eliminate the Admin Burden
Manually emailing quotes wastes time, introduces risk, and disrupts momentum. A modern CPQ platform enables you to send quotes in seconds using a guided interface that selects the right contacts, applies templates, and logs activity—no manual steps required.
Why Manual Quote Sending Slows Down Sales and Adds Risk
You’ve already done the hard part—building, pricing, and approving the quote.
But when it’s time to send, the process becomes a manual headache:
- Download the quote as a PDF
- Find the right contact from memory or notes
- Write the email and attach the file
- Remember to CC finance, CS, or legal
- Log the activity in CRM (if you remember)
This creates unnecessary friction in the final, critical step before closing.
The Core Problem: Too Many Manual Steps and No Standardization
Even when reps have a perfect quote in hand, sending it becomes a series of avoidable errors:
- The wrong contact gets the quote—or it gets missed altogether
- Internal teams don’t receive visibility
- Messaging is inconsistent across deals
- CRM records remain incomplete
- Quotes go untracked, leaving RevOps in the dark
This not only delays closing—it undermines pipeline visibility and customer trust.
The Fix: CPQ-Integrated Quote Delivery in Just 3 Clicks
Modern CPQ platforms now offer built-in quote delivery features that simplify the process:
- Click 1: Select the opportunity—contacts and internal team CCs auto-populate
- Click 2: Choose a pre-approved email template that’s on-brand and accurate
- Click 3: Send—the quote is logged, tracked, and attached to the CRM
No downloads. No manual inputs. No missed steps.
You focus on the conversation—the system handles the delivery.
