# The first experience of your prospect can make or break the deal. Here’s why.

I have recently received a [PDF proposal](https://oneflow.com/uk/blog/the-ultimate-sales-proposal-guide-dos-and-donts/) for a deal from a tech company to sign and send back. So, when I got to the office, I printed it, signed it, positioned it on a blank table top, took a photo of it on my mobile phone. Then I open up my mail app, find the sender, hit reply, and finally emailed it back.

### **That’s crazy many steps for a soon-to-be customer.**

At each one of these steps, the soon-to-be customer could have easily said, “F\*ck it. No time for this right now. Let’s reevaluate next quarter.”

And boom, there goes the deal.

Between now and the next round of reevaluation, a number of scenarios could happen:

- A competitor to the [tech company](https://www.project-disco.org/competition/072919-how-competitive-is-the-tech-industry/) could be knocking on the prospect’s door.
- The budget could be used for something else.
- The prospect could be leaving his or her job.

## That is why we built Oneflow. Doing business should be as simple as a handshake - for all parties involved.

Oneflow is an all-in-one, [100% web-based solution](/uk/digital-contracts/) for managing proposal content and requesting e-signing.

### At Oneflow, we drink our champagne. Here's what we do:

1. We store all of our [proposal content ](/uk/digital-contracts)in sections (intro, benefits, pricing, terms).
2. We take the content sections and make [proposal templates](https://www.canva.com/proposals/templates/) with popular packages.
3. We refine templates based upon customer needs.

### It takes seconds to edit content, reorder sections, and update pricing, even after the proposal is sent. 

Plus, the proposal looks awesome on mobile devices.

We get notified when prospects view [their proposal](https://oneflow.com/uk/blog/the-ultimate-sales-proposal-guide-dos-and-donts/), modify the content of [the proposal](https://oneflow.com/uk/blog/the-ultimate-sales-proposal-guide-dos-and-donts/), or forward it to someone else.

### It's one click for them to approve and sign anytime, anywhere. 

AND, if you love your PDF's, you can export as PDF :)

Oneflow is a major time saver for our sales reps.

We always have [control over all proposals](https://oneflow.com/uk/blog/the-ultimate-sales-proposal-guide-dos-and-donts/) that are sent, a great overview of [our pipeline](http://oneflow.com/uk), and are able to identify and reuse our best-performing proposals.

It’s also easy to use so it takes no time for a new sales hire to master the tool.

  
But more importantly, it reduces friction for our soon-to-be customers.

**I want their first experience of being a Oneflow customer to be amazing.**

## Your proposal is one of the first impressions that can make or break the deal. 

### And for our next trick…
