How to build proposals and quotes in a CRM
A buyer ready to move should never wait days for paperwork. Every day between "send me a proposal" and the proposal landing is a day the deal can cool.

Short answer
Building proposals and quotes means turning a deal into a priced, branded document a buyer can act on, fast. Ardovo includes Studio for proposals and CPQ for quotes, both generated from the deal line items and buying committee, and Rook drafts the first version from the deal context, so a rep sends in minutes instead of losing days to formatting.
What you get
Quotes from deal line items
CPQ builds a priced quote straight from the deal products and terms, applying your pricing rules, so the numbers are right and the quote is ready in minutes.
Proposals drafted by Rook
Studio and Rook generate a branded proposal from the deal context, the pain, the buying committee, the value, so the rep edits a strong draft instead of starting from blank.
Pricing rules and approvals built in
Discounts, tiers, and approval thresholds are enforced in the quote, so reps cannot ship a deal that breaks policy and the deal desk is not a bottleneck.
One source, no copy-paste
Because proposals and quotes pull from the deal, changing a line item updates the document. No rebuilding a Word file every revision.
Why proposals and quotes belong on the deal
When quotes live in a spreadsheet and proposals live in a Word file, they drift from the deal the moment anything changes, and every revision is a manual rebuild. Ardovo generates both from the deal itself: the line items drive the quote, the deal context drives the proposal. Change the scope and both update. The rep stops being a document formatter and the buyer gets an accurate, professional document the same day they asked.
How Rook makes the first draft
The blank page is the slow part. Rook reads the deal, the discovery notes, the pain points, the buying committee, and drafts a proposal that speaks to that specific buyer: their problem, your value, the ROI, the plan. The rep reviews and personalizes rather than writing from scratch, cutting proposal time from hours to minutes while keeping the human judgment on what matters most to the buyer.
