After months of reviewing stacks of business plans, researching markets, and interviewing founders, we’ve found the man with the plan to be the next Sprout. Proposable will provide an innovative solution for sales proposal creation, delivery, and measurability, enabling salespeople in every industry to maximize their sales efforts and gain new insight into when and how their proposals are being viewed. Proposable will provide a monthly subscription service whereby proposals can quickly be created, delivered, monitored and organized securely online.
Proposable is the creation of James Kappen, a repeat entrepreneur hailing from the Los Angeles area. James’ previous ventures include a bidding platform for the global tradeshow industry and Santa Barbara Homeowner Magazine, a regional lifestyle magazine for the seaside town of Santa Barbara, Ca. James loves creating music and is an avid song writer and multi instrumentalist. James will be relocating to Bloomington to begin work on Proposable later this month.
We couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity that James brings. Shaking up the traditional sales process has been a goal of ours for years. James has been in direct sales, and he’s managed other salespeople, so he knows firsthand the problem we’re about to solve. In addition to giving new insights to salespeople and valuable tools for sales managers, Proposable has the potential to drastically shorten sales cycles. The value proposition for customers is awesome. Proposable is going to be a very disruptive force in the CRM market.
Proposable intends to integrate with leading lightweight CRM solutions to provide a seamless experience for users. If you have an open CRM or contact management system, let us know and we’ll add you to the partner queue.

I think this is a huge hidden opportunity. So many times we struggle with preparing materials — should we do a PPT deck, a PDF or a Word Doc? What OS will the viewer see this on? Did he/she actually open the document?
And, integration w/CRM and estimate/invoicing systems (FreshBooks, etc) is icing on the cake. Good luck!
