How to Add Proposal Numbers to Track Every Deal

Every proposal you send can now have its own number.

It sounds like a small thing, but if you have ever gone hunting for "that proposal for the bakery downtown" and ended up scrolling past a dozen near-identical titles, you already know why it helps. A proposal number gives each deal a short, shared label, so you and your client can point to the exact same thing in seconds.

How to turn it on

Head to Account Settings → Proposals → Proposal Numbers, switch it on, and pick a starting number. (Start at 1000 if you want your proposals to feel a little more established.) From there, every new proposal numbers itself automatically. There is no counter to track and nothing to update by hand.

What proposal numbers do for you

  • Scan and sort at a glance. Numbers show up right on your proposal list, so you can find the right one without opening each proposal.
  • Search instantly. Type a number to pull that exact proposal up.
  • Show it on the proposal. The number sits next to the title, so your client sees it too.
  • Drop it into your content. Use the [proposal_number] variable to place the number in your cover letter, terms, or any text block.
  • Reuse it for related work. Sending a follow-up or an alternate version? Override the number manually, for example 1000B or 1000C, to keep them grouped.
A proposal number turns "wait, which proposal are we talking about?" into a single reference you and your client can both use.

If you have wanted an easy way to reference your proposals by number, this one is worth turning on today.
