The best part is that Link2quotes is accessible from any device—PC, tablet, or Mac—without the need for Act! to be installed locally.
The quote templates are fully customizable and responsive, and can be sent directly to the prospect from the console. For Act! Windows client users, a free plugin adds a Link2quotes button to the Opportunity details section, allowing you to create or edit quotes seamlessly. Once your customer receives the quote, they can view it online, print it, or download it as a PDF, and importantly, they can accept it online.
Accepted quotes automatically trigger email notifications and close the Opportunity as won. Regardless of whether the quote is accepted immediately, every customer engagement is recorded in the Opportunity History, providing a detailed audit trail of each prospect’s interest level and helping you plan follow-ups effectively.
