How it works
From first draft to final decision.
Six steps describe the proposal workflow Proposio is built around. Each one exists because it is a place where proposals usually slow down.
The six steps
- Step 01
Choose a starting point.
Use an existing template, duplicate an appropriate previous structure or begin with a clean proposal.
- Step 02
Build the proposal.
Use reusable content where it belongs and customise the opportunity-specific sections.
- Step 03
Review together.
Collect comments and revisions around one proposal.
- Step 04
Request approval.
Move the proposal into review and make the final internal decision explicit.
- Step 05
Send.
Share the web proposal or export the final PDF.
- Step 06
Update the status.
Keep the proposal state current so the team can see where it stands.
Approval as a visible state
Most delays are not caused by writing. They are caused by nobody being sure whether a proposal is finished. Making the state explicit removes the guesswork.
Approval state
Operations assessment
Approval is an explicit state, not an assumption based on email silence. Select a state to see how the workflow is intended to read.

The objective is not to automate every word.
It is to make the process around the proposal easier to control.
