Benefits Over Other Sales Automation Solutions
- QwikQuote is ready for electronic business!
QwikQuote is designed for the latest electronic
business practices. Its 32-bit architecture works well in Windows 95,
98, NT, XP, and 2000, and QwikQuote INCLUDES the ability
to email sales quotations in the popular Adobe Acrobat format. Your
sales quotations look as good as when you print them, in a compact format
that can be read, but not changed, by your customers.
- QwikQuote REALLY increases your sales and commissions!
QwikQuote makes it easy to quote and process lots of
smaller sales -- the ones that pay the rent (and that often get lost
in the cracks). If you make it easy to sell, your salespeople increase
their percentage closes on the leads coming in. And when it comes to
handling lots of information in a big quote, QwikQuote
cuts down on time getting the quote out the door, so your company looks
more responsive, and is more likely to get the big sales.
- It's easier to use.
The biggest cost of any program is in the learning curve. You want your
salespeople to sell products, not to become computer support people.
QwikQuote is designed from the ground up to make sense
to salespeople.
- Give us an hour and you'll being quoting in QwikQuote!
Not only is QwikQuote easier to use, it's easier to
learn. Tool tips, obvious icons, and online help files ensure that your
time is spent using QwikQuote, not learning it.
- QwikQuote makes you look smarter!
QwikQuote's 32,000 character descriptions and extensive
information fields put complete product information at your fingertips.
Until QwikQuote, it was almost impossible to be well
informed on every product and service you represented; QwikQuote's
Catalog window puts MORE information at your fingertips.
- Greater flexibility while maintaining ease of use.
QwikQuote's Option button allows you to customize QwikQuote
for your own selling environment. Most quoting programs are set in stone:
you've got to learn how to quote their way.
- Well established package used in thousands of environments.
QwikQuote was the first microcomputer-based quoting
tool, and has been honed in thousands of environments. Others are still
working out the bugs that QwikQuote ironed out years
ago.
- Built from customer feedback.
People tell us all the time, "I'm glad you did this because I thought
of that years ago." Other packages were designed by programmers
for salespeople; we continue to design QwikQuote around
input from the field.
- Easily imports popular spreadsheet and database formats.
QwikQuote makes it incredibly easy to set up your price
lists using existing data.
- Faster than spreadsheets.
Once you cut and paste everything into a spreadsheet, you start the
tedious process of arranging the print out. With QwikQuote,
just choose the items to quote, adjust prices, and print. Once you've
set up your layouts, QwikQuote's Intelligent Printing™
takes over: just print, and QwikQuote chooses the correct
combination of pages. To convert your quote to an order, just click
on the button [Convert to Order].
- Allows groups of people to work on large quotations.
It you're working on very large quotes (up to 1,000 pages) with a number
of people, QwikQuote lets you copy and paste from one
QwikQuote worksheet into another to create a consolidated
quote. (Other quoting programs work with fewer than 200 items per quote.)
- Brings quotes in from the field for centralized reporting
and reduced paperwork.
QwikQuote quotes are linked to contact managers so
that your quotes can be synchronized with the ACT!, Goldmine or Maximizer
contact database in the home office (with their synchronizing software).
You can also send quote files independently to a manager and use QwikQuote
File Organizer to prepare a reporting database. No paperwork to file:
just email your files.
- Built on the latest Microsoft Jet Engine database technology.
Other quoting programs rely on outdated database technology. QwikQuote
is built on Microsoft's latest 32-bit Jet Engine. This industry-standard
format is often used with 100,000 items in price lists that can be searched
for unique items almost instantly.
- Designed for more than computer dealers.
Most quoting software was designed by computer dealers for their own
use. QwikQuote was designed for people selling lots
of different products and services. That's why QwikQuote
allows you to change columns and data types in your quotes and spreadsheets.
- Links to the leading contact managers ACT!, GoldMine, Maximizer,
Microsoft Outlook and TeleMagic.
Some quoting products link to one or another, but not all of the leading
packages. Many organizations have salespeople who use a mix of contact
managers. QwikQuote works with all of them.
- Importing your existing price lists is easier with QwikQuote.
QwikQuote imports every popular price list format including
Excel (XLS), dBase (DBF), Access (MDB), and comma-delimited text (CSV).
Other quoting programs are limited to comma-delimited text. Note: if
any field contains a carriage return, a comma-delimited field does not
import correctly.
- Unlimited number of Price Lists.
QwikQuote can use an unlimited number of price lists.
Other quoting programs are limited to 40.
- Does not require other software.
Some other quoting packages are really just macros that run in a spreadsheet
or require a database. QwikQuote includes its own form
design tool, intelligent printing module, spreadsheet, database, and
more. QwikQuote even includes a contact list in case
you don't already use Outlook, ACT!, GoldMine, Maximizer or TeleMagic.
- Customizable for large applications.
QwikQuote Development has customized QwikQuote
for site licenses and large scale sales automation projects to compute
very unusual pricing mechanisms. This cuts days off the quoting process,
and eliminates the need for number crunching when your organization
could spend its time selling.
- Includes the links you need to contact managers at no extra
fee.
Other packages charge hundreds of dollars more for the links to ACT!,
GoldMine, Maximizer, Outlook or TeleMagic. At just $199, QwikQuote
includes all the links and reporting capabilities you'll need
to generates quotes, orders, and reports right away!
- Better contact management links!
QwikQuote does more with your contact manager than
other quoting programs. For instance, QwikQuote updates
ACT!'s Opportunity Manager and all other relevant fields. QwikQuote
also pulls in more information from Outlook, and updates every significant
selling field in GoldMine.
- Search your contacts from within QwikQuote.
QwikQuote enables searches directly from QwikQuote
without having to move to your contact manager. Other quoting programs
require you to jump back and forth between programs because they only
use the contact that happens to be open in the contact manager.
- QwikQuote Safe-Link™ for Contacts.
Once you select a contact in QwikQuote, the contact
stays with the quote. In other quoting programs, it's easy to disassociate
your contact. For instance, if a customer calls when you're working
on a quote, you may jump to your contact manager and pull up their record.
Suddenly, back in your quoting program, you've lost the original contact
in your quote because the software links to the current contact open.
With QwikQuote's Safe-Link, your contacts are safely
embedded in each quote or invoice.
- Works with pictures!
QwikQuote works with every kind of picture including
JPG, BMP, GIF, JPEG, ICO, WMF, and EMF. Other programs are limited to
BMP files, which have the worst compression and fill up your hard drive.
QwikQuote also allows you to print pictures of your
products right in your quote, a feature unmatched in other quoting software.
- More price levels!
QwikQuote provides 30 price levels that can be used
as distinctive pricing or quantity breaks (you can even store a customer's
level in your contact manager for automatic reference). Other quoting
programs are limited to ten price levels that must be used as quantity
breaks.
- A solution now, not a lot of talk about the future.
Most other quoting software companies still talk about what they plan
to do. QwikQuote delivers, and keeps delivering. Other
companies have come and gone from our niche. QwikQuote
has remained focused on consistently delivering superior sales quoting
software.
- Free tech support.
QwikQuote provides six months of free phone (voicemail/callback)
and email support. QwikQuote Development does everything
we can to ensure that our users are always productive. Our innovative
Version Checker software even examines the internal version numbers
of shared files on your hard drive to ensure your files are up to date.
Annual agreements for continued technical support are also available.
Given the on-going expense of a sales force and the ever increasing
costs of a sales call, even a modest improvement in sales productivity
provides a generous payback. QwikQuote is the tool
that gets the right information into your hands for a quick, efficient
close.
