5 | | -When sending quotations, it is important to set a deadline to encourage your customers to act. |
6 | | -Indeed, this will stimulate them because they will be afraid of missing a good deal and it will also |
7 | | -allow you to protect yourself in case you have to fulfill an order at a price that is no longer |
8 | | -profitable for you. |
| 5 | +In the Odoo *Sales* application, it is possible to set deadlines on sales quotations. Doing so |
| 6 | +encourages customers to act quickly during sales negotiations, for they might fear for missing out |
| 7 | +on a good deal. As well, deadlines also can also act as protection for a company in case an order |
| 8 | +has to be fulfilled at a price that is no longer profitable for the business. |
