How to create a winning service proposal
Templates, photos, line-item structure, and tracking — the pieces that move a proposal from sent to signed.
Step-by-step
- Step 01
Start from a template
Five seeded templates cover the most common service categories.
- Step 02
Convert from a survey
Survey items carry quantities + photos into the proposal.
- Step 03
Add sections + items
Modular sections — pricing tables, scope, terms, signature.
- Step 04
Send via hosted link
Client opens in any browser; no account required.
- Step 05
Track + convert
Status pipeline shows viewed → approved → invoiced.
Frequently asked
What makes a proposal close?
Photos, clear line items, hosted approval, and follow-up automation. Templates remove the blank-page tax.
How long should a proposal be?
Long enough to communicate scope, short enough to read on a phone. Hosted links default to a mobile-friendly layout.
Should I include photos?
Almost always — proposals with photos close noticeably more often.
How do I follow up?
Hosted view tracks opens. Manual + auto follow-up reminders ship with the email integration.
What about pricing transparency?
Line-item pricing builds trust. Hidden totals erode it.
Can I A/B test templates?
Not natively yet. Duplicate a template, edit it, and watch the close rate.
