Overview
As part of our ongoing commitment to improving the Deal Central experience, we’ve enhanced Printing Proposals to make deal presentation clearer, more customizable, and easier for both dealers and customers.
The updated experience includes a redesigned layout, dealership branding, flexible proposal customization, and easy digital sharing—helping you deliver a more professional, customer friendly proposal every time.
The Problem We Solved
Before this enhancement, dealers faced a few common challenges:
- Deal proposals could be difficult for customers to review and compare, especially when presenting multiple scenarios
- Limited flexibility to align with dealership preferences or branding
- Managers had minimal control over which fields appeared or how totals and fees were grouped, or displayed
- Proposals weren’t optimized for text or email sharing, even as more conversations moved outside the showroom
What’s Improved
A Modern, Easier-to-Compare Proposal Layout
Deal proposals now display multiple scenarios side-by-side in a single PDF, making it easier for customers to compare options in one place.
What this means for you:
- Spend less time explaining differences between offers
- Enable clearer conversations that keep deals moving forward
- Keep deals moving forward with less friction
More Control Over What Customers See
Managers can now create and manage custom printing proposals, including control over:
- Which fields appear or are hidden
- Field names and ordering
- Whether items are grouped or itemized (e.g., accessories, taxes, fees)
- Emphasis and readability using font styling
What this means for you:
- Proposals align with how your dealership sells
- Reduce manual explanation of totals and line items
- A consistent presentation across salespeople and deals
Built-In Branding and Improved Readability
Proposals now support dealership branding and improved page formatting such as:
- Larger, more readable fonts
- Repeating headers with key vehicle details on every page
- Cleaner page breaks and consistent disclaimers
What this means for you:
- More professional-looking proposals with no extra effort
- Customers stay oriented, even on multipage deals
Designed for In-Store and Remote Selling
Proposals can be printed or shared digitally via text or email as a PDF—supporting in-store conversations as well as remote or after-hour follow-ups.
What this means for you:
- Faster follow-ups
- Better support for remote or afterhours conversations
- One consistent proposal experience, no matter how it’s shared
How It Works (At a Glance)
- The enhanced default proposal is available immediately
- Managers can create and designate a primary proposal for Sales View
- Sales teams print proposals exactly as they always have—now with improved formatting and comparison
- No additional setup, onboarding or implementation is required
Summary: Why This Matters
This enhancement removes friction from deal presentation by making proposals:
- Easier for customers to understand
- Easier for sales teams to explain
- Easier for managers to control and standardize
All while fitting seamlessly into your existing Deal Central workflows—no training, no disruption, just better proposals.
