Summary of Features

QwikQuote builds quotes and orders from an electronic price list that you build or import, and then attaches the quote to the contact record in ACT!, GoldMine, Maximizer, or Microsoft Outlook. If you have no contact manager, you can use QwikQuote's own contact list. QwikQuote prints customized forms, faxes with programs like Symantec Winfax, and even creates Adobe Acrobat-compatible files for e-mailing.   (This built-in e-mail feature is unique to QwikQuote;  other programs require you to purchase Acrobat for about $179 per user.)

With QwikQuote,
you'll spend more time with customers
and less time with paper!

Easier to learn and use
QwikQuote follows the logical selling process through four screens:

1. Retrieve the customer's name and address from ACT!, Goldmine, Maximizer, Microsoft Outlook, or QwikQuote's Contact List,
2. Choose products and services from your Price List (over 100,000),
3. Arrange your presentation and pricing strategy, and,
4. Customize your quote layout --including product pictures or your logo!

QwikQuote can help remove the pricing objection.

Improve your company's customer support
QwikQuote puts product information at your salesperson's fingertips: just double-click on a description to enter QwikQuote's Catalog - a support screen featuring scrolling Info Box, Key Benefits, extended description fields, Picture/Video Box, shipping weights, inventory levels, spec sheets, quantity pricing fields, and more. If you're in sales, you'll use this screen every day; if you're in marketing, you've found a better, faster, and less expensive way to distribute information about your products and services.

Totally customizable for your needs
QwikQuote handles every approach to pricing including margin, discount, markup, customer-specific, and even Dynamic Price Allocation: set competitive prices on key items and QwikQuote automatically allocates profit dollars to non-commodity items.

Use your existing data! Start quoting in minutes!
Import Price Lists from Excel, dBase, Access and other leading databases! QwikQuote's easy import routine allows you to line up fields in your existing price list for fast import, and even to save import routines for new data. Don't have a price list? Add products to your QwikQuote Price List "on the fly" to make it easier the next time you quote that product! Link to your contacts in ACT!, GoldMine or Maximizer!

QwikQuote links "live" to your contacts in ACT!, GoldMine, Maximizer, or Microsoft Outlook with DDE and ODBC links: just tell QwikQuote which contact manager you use and where it's installed: QwikQuote does the rest! No need to import or re-type contact names. QwikQuote even updates forecasts in GoldMine and saves quotes as attached files in ACT!, GoldMine and Maximizer so it's easy for your assistant to find and close a quote when you're out of the office.

Find the right products fast
Instant SQL searches - even free-text searches in seconds that take 20 minutes in other programs - will increase your responsiveness and close more sales faster.

Improves group sales performance and customer services
Sales people are often thought of as "the front line" or "road warriors" -- highly individualistic people who sometimes succeed in spite of the company. In a more complex, fast-moving world, though, companies are integrating relationship handlers, technicians, and inside sales people into more effective selling teams. The networked version of QwikQuote helps make those teams work better by offering faster response time, better technical support, and shared information.

Networked
QwikQuote's ability to write back to customer history files in leading contact managers provides instant response to customers inquiring about their quotes. All the information is available to each sales team member, whether or not the originator of the sale is in the building. The customer is served immediately.

No additional software required
Other quoting programs require additional spreadsheets and accounting programs. With QwikQuote, you've got everything you need to generate fast, customized quotations.
