Excerpt

The Quotes Tool provides a simple consolidated area to manage all quotations for both clients and prospects. The contents shows for a selected broker all of the current quotes that they have created.


Note

Brokers should regularly maintain their quotes list, deleting quotes that are not required to ensure that active quotes and prospects can be followed up.


Adding a quote into The Finance Shop is performed through the Quick Calculator Tool.
