Side-by-side view of the proposal

This view is designed to help your customers easily compare the options and make the decision-making process smoother. When you send the proposal via email or text, your customer will also see the same side-by-side view. So make sure you utilize it effectively to create an impactful first impression!

From this view, you can control the visual appeal of your proposal by adding cover images and descriptions to your options. Simply tap on the “three dots" icon to add them. You can also rename the options from here if needed:

The side-by-side view will display all your options added to your estimate horizontally (you can swipe right and left to browse them)

With this integration, your customers can see the cost of a monthly payment for each option you present, which helps reduce sticker shock and empowers them to take on bigger jobs without breaking the bank.

Applying for financing only involves a quick application on the customer's mobile device, which reduces the need for you to handle sensitive information. The best part? You get paid in full as soon the job is complete, while your customers enjoy the flexibility of paying over time.

This feature brings the power of real-time consumer lending right to your fingertips, simplifying the process of offering financing to your customers.

Step 1: During the estimate option presentation, you'll notice a button labeled "Send invitation to prequalify". This lets your customer see how much they qualify for if they were to finance the job.

Step 2: Tap on the button. This will bring up a new screen where you can input your customer's mobile phone number.

Step 3: After entering the customer's mobile phone number, tap on the "Send Invite" button. This action will send an SMS to your customer with a link to prequalify (how much funds a homeowner could qualify for if they chose to finance)

Step 4: To send the actual financing application to your customer, you first need to copy the option chosen on the sales proposal to a job. Only then can your customer actually apply for financing and receive a decision instantly.

Offering integrated consumer financing lets you close more and bigger jobs easily. Customers receive the flexibility to pay over time, while you get paid in full as soon as the job is complete.

You can send your proposal either through email or text message. All options included in your original estimate will be received by the customer by sending the estimate as a proposal using the flow described above.

It's important to note that the new Sales Proposal Tool attached to your account does not interfere with your ability to provide estimates to customers as you did before. You can still present and send estimates in a regular manner without the proposal presentation mode. To do so, just tap the "Envelope" icon located on the estimate details screen:
