What Happens at This Stage

The proposal stage is where you translate a client brief into a concrete, scoped engagement. In Nextoria Hub, proposals are structured documents that feed directly into the project when accepted — no re-entering data.

Creating a Proposal

Navigate to Projects → New Proposal:
1

Fill in client context

Select the client account (or create a new one inline). Add a brief describing their goals, constraints, and success criteria.
2

Define deliverables

List each deliverable with a description, estimated effort, and price. These become the basis for invoice line items later.
3

Set a timeline

Add a proposed start date, end date, and key milestones. These pre-populate the project timeline on acceptance.
4

Add terms

Include your payment terms, revision policy, and IP ownership clause. Use a saved template or write custom terms.
5

Send for review

Click Send Proposal. The client receives a beautiful, branded proposal page (not a PDF attachment) with an Accept button.

Proposal Templates

Save frequently used proposal structures as templates at Settings → Proposals → Templates. Templates can pre-fill:
  • Standard service packages with fixed or range pricing
  • Default payment terms and revision policies
  • Commonly used deliverable descriptions
  • Your agency’s standard timeline language

Client Acceptance

When the client clicks Accept Proposal:
  1. The proposal status changes to Accepted
  2. A new Project is automatically created with all deliverables, milestones, and dates pre-populated
  3. The client is added to the project’s portal
  4. The assigned team lead receives a notification to kick off onboarding
Require an e-signature on acceptance for legal clarity. Enable this under Settings → Proposals → Require Signature.
