This information helps the Sale Team and/or Sales Manager see how "actively and/or inactively" these Proposals are being managed.

a)From the Backstage Menu System Select Reports and Choose Prospect And Proposal, or

b)From the Quick Access Menu, Select Reports and Choose Prospect And Proposal

c)BOTH - Only those Proposals with no changes in their Confidence % Rating or their Proposal Status - within the Range of Days selected above - will be included in the list.

 

Active State - Using the Drop-Down Selection List provided, Choose Active Only, Inactive Only, or BOTH.
