Quotations

Quote a lead who is not a client yet

Raise a standalone quotation for someone with no company record, why it carries a Lead tag, and how accepting it auto-creates their company and owner contact.

You can send a professional quotation to someone who is not a client yet, a brand-new lead, without adding them as a company first. If they accept, IzzyTap creates their company workspace and owner contact for you.

When to use this

Use this whenever you want to quote a prospect you have just spoken to and who has no record in IzzyTap yet. There is no need to set them up as a company beforehand. The quote itself is enough to get things moving.

Send the quotation

Open Quotations under Finance and click New quotation to start quoting a brand-new lead.

  1. Log in to your workspace.
  2. In the left menu, under Finance, click Quotations.
  3. Click New quotation to open the builder.
  4. Fill in the recipient:
    • Recipient name
    • Company name (optional)
    • Email (for the accept link). Enter this carefully. The accept link is emailed to this address.
    • Phone (optional)
  5. Choose the Primary service. This sets the terms and conditions that print on the quote.
  6. Add your line items, each with a description, quantity, rate and a line kind. See Government fee, service charge or other.
  7. Click Preview quotation to check the PDF exactly as the client will see it. See Preview a quotation before you send it.
  8. Click Send quotation.

Tip

Fill in the Company name even for a lead. It becomes the name of the new company record if they accept.

The Lead tag

The Issued list showing a grey Lead chip on a quote that is not linked to a company yet.

In the Issued list, a quotation to someone with no company shows a grey Lead chip next to its status. That is IzzyTap telling you this quote is not linked to a company yet. Once the lead accepts, the tag goes away because they now have a company.

What happens if they accept

After the lead accepts, their new company workspace appears in the Companies list like any other client.

When the lead accepts and signs, IzzyTap automatically:

  1. creates their company workspace and gives it a client code,
  2. adds the person as the owner contact,
  3. converts the quotation into an invoice,
  4. emails them the invoice and a link to set up their portal login.

From then on they appear under Clients and Companies like any other client. See When a quote becomes an invoice.

Note

You do not need to create anything by hand. If you would rather set up a company yourself first, you can, see Add a company. But for a fresh lead, quoting them directly is the quickest path.
