Create a proposal trigger checklist before connecting transcripts to drafting. In HubSpot or your proposal intake document, require opportunity stage, estimated deal size, confirmed pain, buyer fit, timeline, next step, stakeholder involvement, pricing request, and proposal owner. Add fields for approval path, pricing sensitivity, legal risk, security review needed, and missing information. Do not trigger this workflow for curiosity calls, unqualified discovery, or deals where the buyer has not agreed to review a proposal. QA the checklist with sales leadership by testing it against five recent opportunities that should have received proposals and five that should not have.
Proposal eligibility rules with trigger fields, approval path, risk flags, and rejection criteria.
Fast proposal generation only helps if the deal is ready. Sending a polished proposal too early can make a weak opportunity look more qualified than it is.
