    When it comes to proposals, it’s no secret that automation is the way of the future. Why spend time putting together docs manually when you can automate the process to skip the hassle, reduce room for error, and get proposals out the door sooner? In this post, we make the infographic argument that proposal automation is the only way to go if you and your team are serious about sending impressive proposals that get deals done—without the agonizing admin.

    When it comes to proposals, it’s no secret that automation is the way of the future. It’s simply the only way forward. Why spend time putting together proposals manually when you can automate the process to skip the hassle, reduce room for error, and get proposals out the door sooner?

    The simple answer? You shouldn’t. Proposal automation software takes all of the manual work out of the proposal process so that you can focus on what matters most—closing.

    But you already knew all that.

    What you might not know is that proposal automation software has a number of other hidden benefits beyond visibility, efficiency, and control over your proposal process. In fact, here are 8 lesser-known reasons why you should be using proposal automation software if you aren’t already.
