A new iQuote feature lets users mark quotes as ‘won’. We are always looking for ways to improve customer value. Our latest feature allows users to record a conversion rate from quotes to orders by simply marking quotes as won. Or they can discard a quote that has been superceded or was not won. Once a quote is marked as won it is locked however it is possible to copy that quote as a template.
How Does The Mark as Won Function Improve Quote Management?
iQuote as a sales quotation tool has the primary objective of improving the sales quotation process. The Mark as Won function improves the management of quotes, allowing users to quantify success of quotes sent to customers. If quotes are managed by Sales effectively it can help with the tricky area of Sales forecasting – anything current but not marked as won is Sales Pipeline.

HP Care Pack Descriptions Improved for User Benefits. The iQuote development team have again been busy developing and delivering significant improvements to the iQuote Sales Quotation System. The latest development is an improvement to HP Care Pack Descriptions, therefore descriptions are consistent throughout and contain the right information to allow selection against user needs.
How Will Improved Care Pack Descriptions Benefit iQuote Users & HP Consumers?
HP Care Packs are extended services for personal and business consumers. Therefore descriptions need to be clear, concise and correct. iQuote now delivers consistent & informative Care Pack descriptions – important as this description is often included on the final quote to the consumer. A small modification that will have significant improvements on the user experience.
