In this article, you will learn how to use sales proposals to help increase your average job revenue.
Sales proposals — commonly known as “good, better, best” — are available as a Marketplace add-on that enables you to present your clients with multiple estimates in a clear and simple way. Sales proposals are designed to help your customers understand the different options your company offers for a particular service, and allow them to choose the one that makes the most sense for their needs and budget.
Tip: You can also create sales proposal templates, making it easy to save and reuse the same sales proposals as often as you'd like.

Offering multiple options all at once also allows your customers to consider spending more than they normally would, ultimately boosting your revenue. Sales proposals can help you close bigger deals faster, which can quickly increase your average job revenue.
Why use sales proposals
To answer questions
Clients normally have many questions after seeing an initial estimate. Save yourself time and avoid those questions by sending a detailed proposal that includes multiple options.To upsell
Sometimes clients are willing to pay for more than the bare minimum. Help your clients understand the relationship between your prices and the quality of services offered.To help techs explain pricing to clients
Your techs aren’t sales people — and they shouldn’t have to be. Sales proposals provide a clear, simple, and professional presentation of your estimates for everybody to easily understand.To beat your competition

Creating a sales proposal
Open the job page that you want to add a sales proposal to
From the job page, select the Estimates tab
Select Add estimate
Configure the first estimate of your sales proposal:
Name: Select Estimate 1 and edit the name for this estimate (e.g., Good, Bronze, etc.)
Image: Select Cover image and upload a cover image
Description: Under Description, select Add and enter a brief description for this estimate
Items: Select Add item and choose all of the items you want to include on this estimate
Select Add Estimate > New estimate or Make a copy
Configure the second estimate of your sales proposal:
Name: Select Estimate 2 and edit the name for this estimate (e.g., Better, Silver, etc.)
Image: Select Cover image and upload a cover image
Description: Under Description, select Add and enter a brief description for this estimate
Items: Select Add item and choose all of the items you want to include on this estimate
Repeat Steps 5–6 until you have created all of the estimates you want to include in this sales proposal
Tip 1 : Be careful about including too many estimates in one sales proposal. Too many estimates may overwhelm your customers and prevent them from understanding which plan makes most sense for them, as well as prevent your business from upselling and increasing revenue.
We recommend limiting your sales proposals to three estimates.
Tip 2: You can save your sales proposals as templates to store and reuse in the future.
