Drive revenue faster in Salesforce CPQ

November 8, 2023 2 min

When a prospect sends you a request-to-quote, chances are they’ve made that same request to your competitors. In order to stand out and win big, traditional quoting methods won’t cut it.

They’ll only prolong the sales cycle with unnecessary obstacles, error-prone pricing spreadsheets, and disjointed document workflows.

It’s time to ditch those manual quoting processes that cause deals to disappear.

Count on using PandaDoc inside Salesforce CPQ to help you leave a lasting impression on customers and prospects, with fast, error-free quotes that are easy to build and hard to beat.

What is PandaDoc for Salesforce CPQ?

Quick note: Our Salesforce CPQ integration is different from our Salesforce CRM integration. You can learn more about Salesforce CRM integration here.

Becoming familiar with Salesforce CPQ

It’s the configure, price, and quote tool that helps businesses provide accurate pricing within any given product configuration scenario.

These include bundling products and services, managing subscriptions, and offering complex discounts.

Salesforce CPQ will handle all the calculations associated with your deals.

When you finalize a price that works for both your customer and your bottom line, you can transfer that data into PandaDoc and impress your customers and prospects with content-rich quotes tailored to their unique needs.

PandaDoc helps you create documents automatically right from Salesforce CPQ, saving you time by reducing the need for manual data entry.

Here’s an example of how it’s done:

Let’s say you’re a Software Account Executive. After a successful demo, you’re ready to create and send a quote to your prospect, who indicates an interest in 40 user licenses plus the onboarding and premium support add-ons.

Now, you can use Salesforce CPQ to pre-configure a pricing rule that offers a bundle deal when a prospect wants to purchase both onboarding and premium support.

Once you hit send, you can monitor your deal's progress using advanced document tracking to see when someone opens, comments on, and e-signs your documents. All without leaving Salesforce CPQ.

Conclusion

Before integrating PandaDoc with Salesforce CPQ, businesses had to rely on antiquated systems to house product and pricing info that’s essential for accurate quotes.

These legacy processes ultimately delayed the time-to-quote, resulting in boring, static PDF documents filled with errors as well as rejections.

By adding PandaDoc to the mix, you have the ability to drive revenue even faster.
