It's the end of the week as we know it <<First Name>>! While many of you are gearing up for big weekends of weddings, I wanted to kick off your working weekend with an Inner Circle full of tips and tricks!
One of those tricky parts about being in the wedding industry,is the amount of custom quotes and proposals one needs to do in order to book the client. So today I am sharing some of my favourite online tools that make creating proposals easy (and look fabulous too!)
|
|
PandaDoc
Pandadoc is a favourite amongst many - their system offers multiple products from contract systems to proposal systems. I love that everything can integrate with each other and of course, external systems.
Loving: Ability to manage contracts alongside proposals, price quotes, electronic signing and custom libraries of all of your sales collateral. Ability to invoice clients and charge credit cards.

Proposify
Proposify allows users to not only generate proposals but also to see at a quick glance where they're at with each stage, allowing you to move each client through your pipeline.
Loving: Beautiful design driven templates, a suggested content library to help you build out your proposals and track when clients open and view the proposals.

Bidsketch
The third player in our lineup, Bidsketch, allows you to easily work with the content you need to suit the proposal. The system allows you to customsise templates and automate steps making it a much less "thinking cap on" process. You can even add optional fees and up-sell to clients easily in the proposal.
Loving: Plenty of proposal templates to use and customise for your own needs. Tracks all proposal interaction - right down to the time spent viewing by client.

Nusii
Nusii allows users to create custom proposals with easy drag and drop layouts, ensuring you never forget important details. It's a simple layout, and does away with a lot of confusing elements to make it no frill and easy to use.
Loving: Easy customised branding, reminders that help you remember to follow up proposals and online signatures.

So how about you <<First Name>> ? How do you manage your client proposals? Are you using an app or software I have missed?

Lady Gaga
Okay I've worked out that this ongoing, do-I-love-or-hate Gaga's new ~vibe~ isn't any closer to resolution, most of her new material falls flat but in this number I find the country feel (I use that term loosely) suits her pretty well. The chorus borders on irritating but the verses and bridge have a gorgeous sound.

Jason Derulo Fea Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign
So I've already developed a hernia trying to write the title of the song and names of the artists out, Ty Dolla etc - I mean seriously, numbers in your stage name? It is bold but each to their own. I have a real soft spot for Jason after seeing him on Corden's Carpool Karaoke, he has some really spot of mainstream pop that's hip hop (is that a terrible descriptor? It is accurate though!), and this is a thudding, catchy moment you will not be able to escape for the next couple of months.

Bah Samba
I was weirdly reminiscing about my waitressing days and attempted to find the entire Dimitri from Paris's "A Night at the Playboy Mansion" on Spotify but only snippets exist - this opening track being one of them. It was the hippest thing of the mid noughties to play at a cafe, and to be honest - it holds up very well.

Scissor Sisters
I can not believe I haven't mentioned my all time favourite get-the-party-started banger that is "Let's Have A Kiki". It's the best, please throw this on and bust out the most awful voguing you can muster up. It's brilliant sass and deserves to be enjoyed enthusiastically.
