Approval Workflows
Structured approval chains and conditional routing reduce risk on high-value bookings by ensuring required stakeholders review changes and exceptions before proposals are sent to clients.
Proposify streamlines proposal creation, standardizes pricing and terms, and shortens sales cycles for hospitality businesses that manage packages, add-ons, and client negotiations.
A typical hotel sales manager uses proposal software to consolidate room block pricing, meeting room fees, and concessions into a single branded document. They rely on templates for recurring client types and use analytics to follow up on viewed proposals and close more corporate accounts.
A catering director uses the platform to combine menus, per-person pricing, staffing estimates, and service charges into clear proposals. They use saved sections and option toggles to present alternatives and capture client decisions during negotiations.
Sales, events, and catering teams commonly use proposal software to assemble offers, manage negotiations, and record client acceptances.
Smaller properties and independent venues also use proposal tools to present professional, branded offers without a dedicated sales operations team.

Configurable pricing blocks handle per-person rates, tiered discounts, service charges, and taxes, enabling accurate totals and clear presentation of alternative packages for client selection.
