Total amount on Quote confusing to customers when using multiple pricing options
Our Pricing is per month and we charge a one time setup.
Invoice happens once per year (See screenshot)
The total amount as mentioned on the quote is quite confusing for customers.
My suggestion would be to make it an option to hide the total amount in quotes.
I am aware that a suggestion for a fix has already been done in this thread but since that covers more topics I would like to isolate this RFC here. (*Ability to remove or adjust the total shown (in the case of multiple pricing options for one component).
We have the simple problem of wanting to list the price per month (subscription) as the line item, and as we charge yearly the TCV should be price per month*12, but this is not doable!
So we end up with a quote that states the monthly price as the "total", which is, to say the least, ridiculous.
This is a must for us. Great that the custom quotes beta is coming, but a shame the access to it is so limited. We really need to be quoting the Total Contract Value to the client.
Can't beleive this is taking so long to implement. It makes the quote system confusing, more of an invoice rather than a quote. If this doesn't change soon, going to have to look elsewhere for a better system.
Hey team - I just wanted to let you know that we've made progress on this feature and it will be released this year. Our solution will be that you will be able to remove the Total and Subtotal sections from quote templates, which will allow you to list multiple pricing options in a table without presenting a total.
Thanks for being patient with us - we're making progress.
Hi, it's quite urgent for me to find a solution in order to display the TCV in a contract , especially if we have different line item (for example monthly subscription and one time billing in the same contract). I see that this fix is in progress, will this feature be available within the end of this month? Thank You for your answer :))
It's quite surprising for me, because HubSpot can calculate the TCV, it has already the value. The only issue is to display that value at the end of the quote 😞
Ok we have made up our mind, patience is over and it simply costs too much time and customers' trust since with every other quote customers don't tend to approve since they are confused. The quote is the start of a relationship and we cannot afford a bad start here.
If the customer does not understand the quote we need to follow up again, explain, spend time on it etcetera. ....We came from Pandadoc, which also wasnt' perfect but it seems we have nowfound a wel integrated new quoting solution (in combination with Saas invoicing:) now. Will give it a try and keep you all posted.
Hey folks - Ethan Kopit here, the product manager of HubSpot Quotes. I wanted to drop in to give you some updates. We made quite a bit of progress on this feature (it will live as a switcher in Quotes, which will allow reps to toggle how they want the total to be calculated). We'll likely build a setting for it as well, which will allow you to set a default for your account.
We will ALSO be supporting removing the total (or subtotals, or additional fees) from the line item table as well, so you can list just line items with no calculations. <-- this should be out even sooner as its a feature of the custom quote template editor.
I can't give you an exact ETA yet, which I know is frustrating, but we're well on our way. Thanks for your enthusiasm.
Is there any update on this? it seems a very basic and obvious thing to do. Pretty annoying as we almost can't use the quotes the it it is build. Thanks
