Proposals are not the only documents you need during your sales cycle. There are sell sheets, NDAs, scope of work contracts, presentation decks, and more. Each of these may need their own preview setting. While setting an account preview setting can help, your team may still see delays while tweaking preview settings. Worse, they might forget, leaving an element in the preview that may confuse the prospect.
Proposify has a tool that helps set currency and preview settings straight from the template. When set, these automatically apply to every document created from this template. No more bottlenecks, no more errors, and most important: your team will save time.
