The sales proposal is a key step in your sales process. For example, For a new membership opportunity you may create a proposal for each membership type they could select. When you create a sales proposal in the database, you are also creating an on-line sign up page. You prospect will be able to view and accept the proposal directly from the on-line page. Setting up a proposal is a two step process.

#Click the contact for which you wish to create a proposal(s).
 
#Click the '''Proposals''' tab.
 
#Click the '''Add''' button.
 
#On the '''Add/Edit Sales Proposal''' screen, configure the following:
 
#:*'''Name''' - Name this proposal.
 
#:*'''Valid Until''' - Enter the date when the offer in your proposal will expire. When you create a proposal, you are also creating an on-line sign up page. Once the proposal expires, the prospect would still be able to view the proposal on-line, but would no longer be able to accept.  '''NOTE:''' - you would be able to come back to this setting and change this date, if needed, to re-activate the form.
 
#:*'''Sales Proposal Template''' - Select a template. Prior to setting up a proposal, you will create proposal templates in '''Setup'''. The list will be populated with any sales proposals you have used previously.
 
#:*'''Terms/Conditions''' - Select the terms and conditions that they will need to agree to to accept this sales proposal. The list will be populated with previously configured terms and conditions. Additional terms and conditions may be created under '''Setup'''.

#Click '''Done''' to save the new proposal.
 
 
 
'''NOTE:''' You may create more than one proposal for an opportunity. For example, if this is an membership opportunity, you may create a proposal for a General Membership, and perhaps an Enhanced Membership.
