@kumbunterland Adding an 'accept button' is a critical CTA to have. Also, make a payment option to monetize Proppy by either using Moltin or similar (make module free and you collect a bit on the merchant fee), or using Stripe and let them do the heavy lifting and charge for this module as a Pro feature. This is my biggest problem, accept>invoice>online payment. No one is doing it. Email me if you do, I'm in> taja[at]modcabinetry.com

@craig_keeling @tjwise_ (we replied to TJ by email but posting the gist here as well) Accept/E-signature is a big one for us and will be there before the end of the beta. Payment is an interesting one as well and we will look into that but it might not make the initial release as the dev pipeline is already quite crowded

Thanks for posting it Kevin! Proppy is still in beta and the landing page is being redesigned as we speak so don't get scared by the current temporary one. We detailed a bit why we ended up creating Proppy in a blog post (https://blog.wearewizards.io/we-...). In short, we are a tech agency that wanted an easy way to write proposals and avoid the PDFs proposals "ping-pong". Proppy is shaped by the feedback we get, so I hope you can sign up and send feedback so we can improve it!

@jonasalmut I guess you could send a wedding proposal through Proppy but I don't think it would be very romantic ;)

This looks really cool and I'd love to try with new clients, but I'm getting an error while signing up. Is this a temporary error or do I need to be added to the beta somehow?

This is a great idea, but don't know what happened to the server, where it says I can't sign up for an account. Will I be able to sign up for the service?

@ivanthechaos Hi Ivan - as far as we can tell signup works fine. Would you mind mailing us at team@proppy.io so we can figure out where it's going wrong?

@kumbunterland @proppy Well it is working now, but it wasn't before. Anyhow, thanks for fixing it and keep up with the great work!

Link Texting

So there's a few other options that I prefer using. I like proposify the best, I don't know how this is differentiated/superior. Get ready to send a ton of cold outbound emails to make this succeed. I would recommend hitting up all companies that have "request demo" as a button. Scrape, crawl, blitzkrieg!

@datarade Thanks for the advice Kumar! We feel Proposify focuses more on a PDF approach, e.g. their proposals are divided into pages. Proposify is more like illustrator while Proppy is all about the web, and the experience is closer to writing an article in Medium.

@proppyio so for old school enterprise deals, they all want PDFs. In fact, in all the times I've done enterprise sales, the older customer base wants PDFs. I guess you should be targetting companies that are going after small to medium sized customers.

@datarade @proppyio We support PDFs via printing (CTRL-P) with CSS media queries for print. You'll have to leave out GIFs, embedded content, videos etc.

I use quoting software for one of my other projects, and I have tried all of them (quoteroller, bidsketch, niftyquote to name a few single function apps and 17hats for a full management app. I settled with Quotient App (rather robust) which is more of a quote making app and less a proposal app. Regardless, none of them (except 17hats) offers a quote>invoice>online Pay option. Dear Proppy, add an accept proposal button which automatically creates an invoice that integrates with stripe for online payment and you will rock this space. Sincerely, Taja

@tjwise_ That is great & useful feedback, thank you! We honestly hadn't considered that use case but it's a great idea. I'll discuss with Vincent how we can fit that in. I'm kinda excited by the idea!

Definitely need e-sign capability. We sick with PDFs at the moment via Adobe sign as the proposal services out there are far too expensive. We only send a proposal once or twice a month and paying £15-20 a month for that is kind of crazy, hopefully you can come up with a pricing structure that suits freelancers and startups as well as stabilised business. Also would be good to be able to include contractual info and terms and conditions etc so it's a full package document.

@bradclarkuk Hey Brad, sorry for the late reply. We've had e-signing live for a couple of weeks now and will definitely have an affordable option for freelancers. We are not going to add T&C / contract info though as we aren't lawyer and those change in every country :/

@proppyio hey. Great to hear that your thinking about sensible pricing for startups/freelancers. The contract and terms I was referring to in my content was really about being able to use our own - having a signature for a proposal without contractual details or terms of engagement really makes it pointless and legally non applicable (in the uk at least) - there just needs to be a way for us to add or own contractual info and terms and conditions - in the UK proposals tend to be in the form of a contract - the proposal then forms the backbone of the entire project process - so there would be not much point in getting a signature for a proposal and then having to get another signature straight away for terms and conditions and a contract - it should be one extra step for no reason.
