However, we all know that creating those proposals may not be the easiest or pleasant thing your team members have to do. Well not anymore! Our easy to use proposal generation tool allows you to create structured proposals and sell more.   The IRIS CRM Proposal Generator is built into IRIS CRM and makes creating accurate, flexible and detailed proposal extremely simple.  You can always recall any generated proposals from the past because they are always bound to the record. Below you will see how to create a proposal in a few easy steps.   **Step 1** You can get to the Proposal Generator in two ways... Hover over "Tools" and click "Proposal Generator" or if you are in a lead simply click "Create New Proposal" on the right side of the lead form.   [![Merchant Services Proposal Generator](https://energy.iriscrm.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screenshot_4-6.png?width=516&height=200&name=Screenshot_4-6.png)](https://energy.iriscrm.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screenshot_4-6.png) **                                                       OR** [![Credit Card PRocessing Proposal Generator](https://energy.iriscrm.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screenshot_5-6.png?width=438&height=313&name=Screenshot_5-6.png)](https://energy.iriscrm.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screenshot_5-6.png)     **Step 2** Select the pricing structures you wish to compare.  IRIS CRM supports Tiered to Interchange (Exact and Estimated Versions), Tiered to Tiered and Interchange to Interchange.

The tool will guide you through every card type, standard fees and a final step where you can add any customized rates (%) or fees ($) that are needed.

Your reps will use this as a tool to close more merchants! The proposal is automatically bound to the lead for easy reference and editing.

We display the count of each billable category in the first column. The second column has the volume processed. The rates that were entered into the tool are inserted into Current Rates, Proposed Rates, Current Discount Fees, Proposed Discount fees and of course the savings on the far right.   Your company name and numbers appear in a blue and the competitors numbers are always in red.  Why not?   [![Credit Card Processing Proposal Generator](https://energy.iriscrm.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screenshot_9.png?width=991&height=638&name=Screenshot_9.png)](https://energy.iriscrm.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screenshot_9.png)   **Final summary page:**   [![Credit Card Processing Proposal Generator](https://energy.iriscrm.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screenshot_10.png?width=942&height=705&name=Screenshot_10.png)](https://energy.iriscrm.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screenshot_10.png) [![Click Here To Test Drive IRIS CRM!](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2132796/6238bacb-5f18-4e10-afb5-db9aed48ef41.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2132796/6238bacb-5f18-4e10-afb5-db9aed48ef41) Stay up to date on our latest [features](https://www.iriscrm.com/features).  We will be posting about a new feature every week!
