How it works

Creating a proposal in Remindoo follows three steps shown on a progress rail: Lead Information, Pricing and Send Email. On the first step you choose your LOE Template, name the proposal and switch between Create for existing Lead and Create for new lead. For a new prospect you type the lead name, add one or more email addresses with the + button and enter a mobile number with its country code. You then complete your custom fields, such as Type of Business, Turnover band, Payroll & PAYE and Services Needed, so the lead is created and quoted in one pass. For limited companies and LLPs, Import from Companies House searches the register by name. Results show each company's status (Active or Dissolved), company type and creation date, so you pick the right entity and avoid typing errors. For an existing lead, Remindoo fills in the email and phone number. Turn on Additional Info of Leads to record lead type, company number, turnover, address, postcode and notes, which are the facts that drive fees. Click Next to move to pricing. A draft is saved at that point, so work is never lost if you are interrupted.

Step 1: choose a template and add the lead

Why tracking leads and proposals matters

Every enquiry a practice fails to follow up is lost fee income. A clear pipeline shows which prospects need a reply, a proposal or a follow-up.

Faster replies

Prospects often contact more than one firm, so the firm that replies first and clearly has an advantage.

Consistent proposals

Templates and a services catalogue keep scope and pricing consistent whoever writes the proposal.

Signed terms from day one

E-signed engagement letters confirm scope and responsibilities before work begins.

No re-keying

Converting a won lead into a client keeps the details you already collected.

Practical tips from UK practice

  • Reply to every new enquiry within one working day.
  • Use lead statuses that match your real sales stages, and review them weekly.
  • Send the engagement letter with the proposal so the client signs once.
  • Record why lost leads were lost, to improve pricing and messaging.
