Online Quote Management with
Link2quotes
Link2quotes is the complete online quoting solution for Act! that you already know how to use. The Link2quotes online quoting console allows you to quickly & easily create a quote; add customers, mandatory and optional products; discounts, disclaimers, deposit details, you name it, and then click-to-send.
It's that easy. What's more, Link2quotes creates the opportunity for you in Act! and then schedules a follow-up activity to close that sale.
Unlike other 3rd party add-ons, Link2quotes is the only one to write directly to the database using the Act! WebAPI, meaning it can be used with self-hosted databases (with Act! Connect Link) or hosted databases through Act! Premium Cloud or a 3rd party hosting provider, and even the new Act! CRM SaaS. You can even use the Keystroke API (K-API) with the non-subscription Act! products like Act! Pro or off-plan versions of Premium.
And the best part is you can use Link2quotes from anywhere - a PC, Tablet, or even a Mac because everything is online, with no need to have Act! locally installed.
The quote templates are completely customizable and responsive, and can be sent to the prospect right from the console.
- If you're using the Act! Windows client, we provide you a free plugin that creates a Link2quotes button in the Opportunity details section, that you can click to either create a new quote or edit an existing one.
When your customer receives the quote, they can view it online, print it, or download as a PDF. Most importantly, though, these quotes can be accepted online. And an accepted quote automatically alerts you by email, and closes the Opportunity, as won.
Whether the quote gets accepted right away or not, every customer engagement with the quote is written back to the Opportunity History, so you have a detailed audit trail of each prospect's level of interest, allowing you to plan your follow-ups accordingly.
