Illustrative example

Review our active quotes for deal-desk issues.

Deal Desk Agent

I checked the active quotes against finance data and found cross-sell gaps, stalled quotes and approval problems. Each quote gets its own deal-desk action.

Checks run per quote

  • Cross-sell gaps

    A product the account fits is missing from the quote

  • Stalled quotes

    No movement, so a follow-up nudge is needed

  • Pricing and approvals

    Discount past policy, missing sign-off or skipped approval step

What the sweep found
