MediaOS allows you control over the amount of discounts your sales reps are providing clients.
Go to Settings > All Settings > General Settings > Account: Warn sales reps and notify sales manager of discounts exceeding: x %
- Input the discount threshold
- Scroll down to Sales: Discounts Require Approval and turn the switch ON
- Now that the threshold is set, when your sales users create a proposal with an overall discount amount that exceeds the predefined threshold:
- The green Set to Won button will be hidden, preventing them from converting from a proposal to a contract
- A red warning bar will appear notifying the sales user they have exceeded the threshold
- A Request Discount Approval button will appear
- They will click the Request Discount Approval button
- Sales manager users and administrator users will receive an internal notification (and an email of that notification) that sales user has requested a discount approval on proposal no. [insert number]
- Sales manager user or admin user will click on that notification to be redirected to the proposal
- They will see a red bar at the top of the screen with a green button that says approve discount
- Once that button is clicked, the sales user will receive a notification (and an email of that notification) that the discount has been approved
- Sales user will click on that notification and be redirected to the proposal
- The sales user will now see the green Set to Won button, allowing them to convert it from an open proposal to a sold contract
