Creating quotes or statement of work can take a considerable amount of time. PSOhub makes it easier by leveraging contract templates, teams and rates, budgets and planning. Your quote is published and shared with your customer for digital signing before being promoted to a project.

In this article, we will look at creating and previewing a quote before publishing.

Important: Before creating a quote, please check PSOhub's Marketplace & Integration settings for HubSpot. In the menu bar, click the gear icon and select Marketplace & Integrations. In the HubSpot tile, you will see a Settings link. Clicking on this link will display the Share HubSpot connection message. By clicking the Share HubSpot connection with all child organizations switch, you can confirm that you wish to share your HubSpot account with multiple PSOhub organizations:

Click Save.

Create quote

In PSOhub, click the Quotes menu:

In the Quotes overview, click the Create button:

When you create your very first quote, the following welcoming message will appear. You can click on the Start tour button to watch a demo video or click Continue to begin designing your quote. If you do not want to see this message each time you create a quote, please check the check box to permanently dismiss the message:

The following window will appear:

Click on the HubSpot tile to create a quote from a HubSpot deal.

The Search window appears below. Enter the name of the deal (you can type the first few characters) and click Search. In the search results, select the deal you wish to create a quote from:

Click Next for step 2: Setup contract:

Select either a standard template or one of your own custom templates. You may also have a plan template related to the contract template that you want to leverage.

Click Next for step 3: Add team:

At this early stage of this sale/ deal, project team members are more than likely unknown/unconfirmed. In which case, you can skip this step and immediately click Create.

The quote will appear, displaying basic information on the quote and contract template:

In the left-hand pane, click the Edit button to modify the quote details:

Above, you can edit:

  • the date of the quote

  • the number of days the quote is valid for (the Expires on date updates automatically)

  • the Quote Contact is the person who will receive the quote at the customer

  • change the Sales rep, if necessary. The sales rep will only see the quotes that he/she has been assigned

  • Select a Project manager if known.

  • Select the Business unit representing the department, team, legal entity who owns the quote.

Click Save.

In the contract, you can use the Budget Grid to calculate your budget per contract line.

Note: If you already know who will be assigned to your eventual project, you can click the TEAMS tab and select your team members. This will allow you to select the team members in the Workload sheet.

Click the Budget tab as shown below:

This is also where you will finalize the quote. I.e., the financial agreement of the deal/sale: fixed fee, T&M, retainer, installments, etc.

Note: The contract template should be defined as with a project. How you configure it will be carried over to the project (including smart invoicing). You can set up installments, retainers and dates at the quote level.

Preview quote

Once you have completed the contract billing information, you can preview the quote.

Click Preview and Publish:

The Publish Quote page appears:

Here, you will see a 4-step process to finalise the quote for publishing.

Step 1: Header: Complete the header information to appear at the top of the quote. This will be displayed in the preview on the right-hand side:

Additional text to be added to the header. Standard text can be configured in the Quote settings under Default comment.

Click Next.

Step 2: Quote lines appears:

Here, you can make last minute changes to the contract lines, that will be reflected in the preview opposite.

Note: By default, the Budget (Sales) values are not displayed in the quote. If you require the Budget to appear as an estimate for T&M or Expenses, then open the contract line(s) and check the Display estimate on quote (Budget) box.

Note: If you don't want a contract line to appear in the quote, uncheck the Show on quote box:

Click Next.

Step 3: Footer appears:

In the footer, you can enter text here or set default text in the Quote settings under Default footer. The text will appear in the footer of the preview.

Click Next.

Note: If applicable, try to avoid selecting resources as they will appear in the published quote resulting in it being perceived as confirmed resources by the customer.
