Business owners can save up to 6 hours a week and boost close rates by 30% by automating proposal tracking and follow-up. Discover how integrating Zapier, PandaDoc, and Slack eliminates manual admin and keeps every deal on your radar.

By connecting PandaDoc for proposals, Zapier for automation, and Slack for instant alerts, you can streamline your sales process end-to-end. This setup ensures every proposal is tracked, every follow-up is timely, and no opportunity slips through the cracks.

The Challenge

Many business owners send out proposals but lose track of follow-ups, leading to missed deals and wasted time. According to Salesforce, 79% of sales teams say timely follow-up is key to closing, but manual tracking is error-prone and time-consuming. One Flow Genius client, a boutique marketing agency, found that 40% of their proposals went untracked, costing them $50,000 in lost revenue annually.

The Solution

Flow Genius specializes in workflow automation and AI integration to solve this exact problem. By linking PandaDoc (for proposals), Zapier (for automation), and Slack (for notifications), you can automate the entire proposal process. This ensures every sent proposal gets tracked, reminders are automatic, and your team is instantly notified of client actions—without extra admin work.

Implementation Steps

1. Connect PandaDoc and Zapier: Set up a Zapier account and link it to your PandaDoc workspace. This allows Zapier to monitor proposal status changes. 2. Create Automated Triggers: In Zapier, build a workflow that triggers when a proposal is sent, viewed, or signed in PandaDoc. 3. Integrate Slack Notifications: Add a Slack action in your Zap so that your sales channel or specific team members receive instant alerts for key proposal events. 4. Schedule Follow-Up Tasks: Use Zapier to automatically create follow-up reminders in your CRM or task manager if a proposal hasn’t been signed within a set timeframe. 5. Test and Refine: Run test proposals to ensure notifications and reminders work seamlessly. Adjust timing or channels as needed for your team’s workflow.

Results

After implementing this automation, the marketing agency reduced missed follow-ups to zero and increased their proposal close rate by 28% in three months. They saved an average of 6 hours per week per salesperson, freeing up time for more client interactions (McKinsey, 2024). Automated reminders ensured that every prospect received timely, personalized follow-ups, leading to a 20% faster sales cycle.
