Manual Quote Edits Are Quietly Slowing Down Your Revenue Engine

When you think about revenue friction, you probably think:

• Deal approvals
  
  
• Pipeline inconsistency
  
  
• Pricing strategy misalignment
  
  

But here’s a hidden culprit:
Manual quote edits.

Your reps are spending time adjusting quotes line by line—
and it’s not just killing productivity. It’s introducing data risk and slowing your time-to-cash.

The Problem: Manual Quote Adjustments = Revenue Drag

In complex deals, reps need to:

• Apply discounts across entire bundles
  
  
• Adjust pricing for certain SKUs
  
  
• Update fulfillment terms or sales ownership
  
  
• Modify product-level notes or deal structure
  
  

But when CPQ systems force one-line-at-a-time edits, you create:

• Delays in quote delivery
  
  
• Errors in pricing and terms
  
  
• Inconsistencies in pipeline data
  
  
• Increased pressure on Sales Ops and Finance for quote reviews
  
  

It’s a small issue with big implications.
