Proposals sent into a black hole
No visibility into whether the client opened, commented, or stalled.
Proposal approval workflow software that connects review, sign-off, and billing
Proposal approval is more than sending a PDF. Small teams need version control, client comments, signature capture, and a clean handoff to delivery and deposit collection. TotalDeal handles the full proposal approval workflow on the client record.
Why teams struggle with this workflow
Revisions create duplicate threads
Each round of changes spawns a new email chain nobody can reconstruct.
Signature tools disconnect from the CRM
DocuSign completes while the deal stage still says proposal sent.
Approved proposals do not trigger billing
Finance manually rebuilds the invoice from whatever attachment they can find.
How TotalDeal helps
Proposal templates tied to deals
Scope, pricing, and history stay on the opportunity—not in a loose folder.
Client review and comments in portal
Structured feedback without attachment tennis.
E-sign when scope is approved
Collect signature in the same workflow where revisions were tracked.
Deposit invoice from approved proposal
Convert signed scope to billable work the same day.
