If you're an advanced manufacturer or sell into the life sciences industry you may be looking for a new way to make your proposals to capture your buyer's attention. With JigSpace and Qwilr, you can create more engaging and interactive sales proposals by embedding 3D content directly in them.
Here’s how it's done and why you should consider it.
The Benefits of Adding Rich Content to Sales Proposals
Better Quality Engagement
Interactive 3D visualisations can help different client buying roles understand the product configuration you are proposing, reducing the risk of miscommunication or slowing down the sales cycle. Imagine having an embedded 3D presentation or video that showcases your product's features. Clients are more likely to engage with a 3D presentation than read through several pages of PDFs of technical drawings or technical documentation.
Product Education
Complex information becomes easier to understand when presented visually or interactively as part of your product education. For example if you’re selling a complicated machinery part, a 3D model that can be rotated and examined will likely help your client understand its intricacies much better than text alone.
Product education can also be internally facing: for example training a sales team on how a new feature works before a product launch, so they are armed with the most relevant information their clients may ask them about when the product goes on sale.
Competitive Edge
Rich content sets your proposal apart from text-heavy, traditional documents. When your proposal arrives alongside five others, but yours has an interactive 3D demonstration while the others offer just photos and text, guess which proposal is more likely to be remembered?
Enhanced Storytelling
Interactive and rich media enable you to convey your product’s benefits in a more compelling way. The interactive timeline in JigSpace 3D presentations can show how your product is assembled and can be configured for different contexts, letting prospects 'walk through' or simulate the various options you have put forward in your sales proposal.
Real-time Interaction
Clients can manipulate the interactive elements of a JigSpace 3D presentation in real-time, giving them a sense of control and immediacy. For a manufacturing facility, you could include an interactive floor plan. Clients can click to view different room configurations, changing products or workflow layouts, offering them a tangible sense of the project.
Higher Perceived Value
Interactive content can elevate your brand's professional image. An embedded augmented reality feature that lets clients see how a product would look in their own space can give the impression that your company is technically advanced and forward-thinking.
Close Deals Faster
A more interactive and engaging proposal can help shorten the sales cycle. When a client can interact with a 3D model, watch videos, and click through timelines, they may feel more confident and ready to make a decision, speeding up the time it takes to close the deal.
How to Embed 3D Content from JigSpace into Qwilr Proposals
What You’ll Need
- A Qwilr account with a sales proposal ready
- A JigSpace account with a 3D model presentation (a.k.a. a "jig")
Step 1: Grab the Embed Code from JigSpace
- Open your JigSpace application.
- Locate the Jig 3D presentation you want to embed and click on the 'share' button.
- Copy the 'embed code', and optionally customize settings like autoplay and background transparency.
Step 2: Navigate to Your Qwilr Proposal
- Open your Qwilr account and head to your sales proposal.
- Qwilr organizes content into "blocks." Locate the spot where you’d like your jig to appear.
- Between your proposal summary and the schedule of costs is ideal.
Step 3: Insert a New Embed Block in Qwilr
- Click on the "+" sign to add a new block.
- Select "Embed" from the list of options.
- Scroll down and click on “iFrame Embed” for more general embedding options.
Step 4: Paste the JigSpace Code into Qwilr
- Paste the code you copied from JigSpace into the iFrame Embed block.
- Preview to make sure it looks good, adjusting its size and background as necessary.
Step 5: Save and Share
- Once you're happy with how it looks, save your changes.
- Send the Qwilr proposal to your clients.
And that's it! You've not only embedded a 3D model into your Qwilr proposal but also made your offer more interactive and engaging. So go ahead, get creative and give your sales proposals the boost they deserve!
