In all my Sales roles I have recreated an interactive version of the company's rate card (pricelist) to be more useful/impactful - using Excel!
For my next role(s), I'm thinking it could be good to have a framework to use to create quickly something but available online this time.
Makes it easy to share (just a link, always the latest version)
Features
- generate online pricelist based on tabular input (Excel, CSV, API, etc..)
- ability to change quantities to see total
- lengthy item description hidden with "Show more" button
- links for each item to dedicate resources where available (eg page on website describing the feature)
- distinction between Software/SaaS & Services.
- logic to "unlock" a version where discounts can be applied.
- ability to save one's budget calculation. v1: download as CSV/PDF, v2 (webapp): save as link to share.
- ability to gate access with email address to unlock (whitelisting specific emails or entire domains)
