Overview<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As part of our ongoing commitment to improving the Deal Central experience, we\u2019ve enhanced Printing Proposals to make deal presentation clearer, more customizable, and easier for both dealers and customers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The updated experience includes a redesigned layout, dealership branding, flexible proposal customization, and easy digital sharing\u2014helping you deliver a more professional, customer friendly proposal every time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Problem We Solved<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before this enhancement, dealers faced a few common challenges: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Deal proposals could be difficult for customers to review and compare, especially when presenting multiple scenarios <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Limited flexibility to align with dealership preferences or branding <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Managers had minimal control over which fields appeared or how totals and fees were grouped, or displayed <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Proposals weren\u2019t optimized for text or email sharing, even as more conversations moved outside the showroom <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          What\u2019s Improved<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          A Modern, Easier-to-Compare Proposal Layout <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Deal proposals now display multiple scenarios side-by-side in a single PDF, making it easier for customers to compare options in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          What this means for you: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Spend less time explaining differences between offers <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Enable clearer conversations that keep deals moving forward <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Keep deals moving forward with less friction <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                More Control Over What Customers See<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                Managers can now create and manage custom printing proposals, including control over: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Which fields appear or are hidden <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Field names and ordering <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • Whether items are grouped or itemized (e.g., accessories, taxes, fees) <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      • Emphasis and readability using font styling <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                        What this means for you: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \n
                        • Proposals align with how your dealership sells <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                            \n
                          • Reduce manual explanation of totals and line items <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                              \n
