Sales Quote Automation
Quote lifecycle automation—view tracking, AI follow-up sequences, and CRM stage updates so no deal goes cold.
Overview
What we built
A complete quote lifecycle automation—from quote creation to follow-up to CRM update—removing the manual back-and-forth that slows sales cycles and causes deals to fall through the cracks.
The challenge
Why automation was needed
Manual quoting and inconsistent follow-up were costing high-value deals.
- Sales teams creating quotes manually in Quotient
- Chasing clients via email without a structured sequence
- Forgetting to update PipeDrive when deals progressed or stalled
- High-value deals lost to slow or inconsistent follow-up
The solution
How the workflow runs
An event-driven follow-up engine tied to quote views and CRM stages.
