Sales proposals

The document you send to prospects

The moment a proposal leaves as an email attachment, you're in the dark. Did they open it? How far did they get? Did they stall on the pricing page? You end up sending "just checking in" on a guess. FeatPaper sends the proposal as one link and shows you, per recipient, which pages held their attention — the page they came back to is your next conversation.

INSIGHT

They re-read the pricing page three times — almost certainly reviewing terms. This is the moment to follow up.

Workflow

Sales proposals, step by step

Upload, set, send, check. No rebuilding files, and nothing for the reader to install.

  1. 01 Upload the proposal

    Upload the finished PDF as-is. No need to rebuild the file.

  2. 02 Create a link per recipient

    Issue a separate tracking link per account and the reading history stays separated per person.

  3. 03 Send just the link

    They read it right in the browser — no installs, no sign-ins, and no attachment size limits to worry about.

  4. 04 Read the response, plan the next call

    When the open alert lands, check Insights for the pages that held attention and start the conversation there.

Key features

Sales proposals: the features at work

The features actually used when sending this document. Each links into the features page, and what each plan includes is on the pricing page.

Per-recipient links

Issue a separate link per account, even for the same proposal. Each link keeps its own reading history, settings, and stats, so who read what never gets mixed up. The recipient name is an internal note — the reader never sees it.

Open alerts

Get an email or Slack message when the proposal opens. Alerts respect an interest floor (Warm and up by default), and you can add a repeat-notification cooldown — so a two-second skim doesn't ping you. Your own views are excluded.

Per-page analytics

Bar charts show stay time and view count per page, and top-pages insights call out what held attention longest. Alongside average completion and return-visit share, they also show you where the proposal itself needs work.

Interest — Hot · Warm · Cold

Stay time, completion, return visits, and actions roll up into an automatic 0–100 score: 50+ is Hot, 25+ is Warm. Sort the list by interest and today's call list writes itself.

Download blocking · expiration

Block PDF saving, and let links close themselves — 7 days, 1 month, or a custom date. Both settings live on the link, so one account can get different rules than another. Files already downloaded can't be recalled, though.

Meeting & contact CTAs

Lay a click-through area (LINK) over the document to send readers to your booking page, or embed a widget like Calendly right on the page. A persistent communication channel in the corner can hold your phone, email, and website too.

FAQ

Sales proposals — check before you send

Does the recipient need an account?

No. Whoever gets the link reads the document in their browser — no sign-up, no login, no install, and nothing to download.

How do I tell who opened it?

Issue a per-recipient link per account and the reading history separates per link. On a link with a lead form, viewers are identified by the name and email they submit. Anonymous views through the general share link can't be attributed to a person.

If the proposal changes, do I re-send the link?

No. Upload the new PDF and the same link shows the latest version — the address you already sent doesn't change. Note that a version upload uses one of your monthly uploads.

Can I take back a proposal I sent by mistake?

Disable the link and nobody can open it from that moment; re-enable it whenever you like. The reading history is kept. If they already downloaded the PDF, that file can't be recalled.
