- Date of Quotation Sent
- The date on which the quotation was formally sent to the client. This provides a starting point for tracking when follow-ups are due.

Additional Features for Effective Tracking
- Color Coding:
Use color coding in the Quotation Status and Outcome columns to quickly identify the status of each quotation. For example:- Green for accepted or won quotations.
- Red for rejected or lost quotations.
- Yellow for pending quotations.
- Reminder Alerts:
Set reminder alerts for follow-up dates. This can be integrated into a spreadsheet, or a task management system can be used to trigger reminders a few days before the follow-up date to ensure timely follow-ups. - Filters for Quick Sorting:
Create filters for the spreadsheet so that it’s easy to view quotations by:- Status (Pending, Accepted, Rejected)
- Outcome (Won, Lost, Pending)
- Follow-Up Date (to track overdue or upcoming follow-ups)
- Summary Section:
At the bottom of the tracker, include a Summary Section to provide quick insights into the performance of your quotations. Example:
Summary | Count |
---|---|
Total Quotations Sent | [Count] |
Accepted Quotations | [Count] |
Rejected Quotations | [Count] |
Follow-Ups Pending | [Count] |
Won Quotations | [Count] |
Lost Quotations | [Count] |
This summary can help you easily see how many quotations have been accepted, rejected, or are still pending. It also provides an overview of how many follow-ups are due.
Instructions for Use
- Data Entry:
- Every time a new quotation is sent, add it to the tracker with all relevant details (Client, Product/Service, Date Sent, etc.).
- After sending the quotation, set a follow-up date and monitor the status.
- Regular Updates:
- The tracker should be updated regularly, ideally after each client interaction, to reflect changes in the status and outcome. When you receive a response from the client (whether they accept, reject, or request changes), update the Quotation Status and Outcome columns.
- Follow-Up Actions:
- Once the follow-up date has passed, make sure to update the Outcome and Comments/Notes fields based on the client’s feedback or decision.
- Review:
- Regularly review the tracker to ensure all quotations are being properly followed up on and tracked. This will help identify any potential opportunities or lost sales.
- Team Collaboration:
- If this tracker is used by multiple team members, ensure that everyone updates the tracker consistently. You can share the tracker in a central location (like Google Sheets or Microsoft OneDrive) to allow real-time collaboration.
