How does Strkr handle the deal desk workflow?
Strkr's deal desk captures approval requests as structured workflow on the deal. The AE requests approval from within the deal view with the context (deal size, segment, requested exception, business justification). The approver sees the full context including deal history, pipeline value, strategic account status. Approval or decline captures with reasoning. The audit trail replaces the email thread. The cycle time typically compresses from 24-48 hours on email-based workflow to 2-8 hours on Strkr, which keeps deals on track for the intended close period.
What proposal templates does Strkr ship?
Strkr ships standard proposal templates covering the common B2B SaaS, services, and fintech patterns: scope definition, pricing section, terms and conditions, security attachment, implementation plan. The templates fill from the deal data with the sales support team adjusting for deal specifics. Custom templates for specialized industries or deal types build in the template editor using the full Strkr data model. The common pattern: adopt the standard templates in week one of rollout and build custom variants over the first quarter based on actual deal patterns.
How does Strkr handle non-standard contract terms?
Non-standard terms capture as explicit workflow on the deal: the clause, the reason for the deviation, the approver chain, the fallback position. The contract templates ship with the standard positions baked in and the fallback positions available with approval. Legal review focuses on the deltas rather than the full document, which compresses review time. The historical pattern of non-standard terms becomes visible, which informs whether specific exceptions should become standard options in the next contract revision.
Can Strkr replace our CPQ tool?
For most mid-market B2B teams, yes. Strkr's quoting module covers the common CPQ patterns: product configuration, pricing tiers, discount rules, approval workflow, quote-to-contract flow. Teams with highly complex pricing (usage-based with real-time metering, multi-product bundle math, intricate channel pricing) may keep a specialized CPQ. Teams with standard SaaS or services pricing almost always consolidate. The common evaluation path: run both systems for a quarter, measure the capability gap, consolidate if the gap is manageable.
How does Strkr handle the sales-support-to-provisioning handoff?
When a deal closes in Strkr, the order form generates automatically from the deal data (scope, pricing, terms, start date, named contacts). The order flows to provisioning via API or scheduled export to the provisioning system. The sales support team sees the order status and provisioning progress in the deal view, so the "did it actually get set up" question has a live answer. The handoff gap that commonly exists between sold-and-paid versus actually-provisioned closes materially.
What is the ROI case for consolidating sales support software?
Three dimensions. First, direct cost: eliminating 2-4 point tools (CPQ, document generator, ticket system, specialized contract tool) saves 20K to 80K annually for a mid-market team. Second, time savings on the sales support function: the typical team recovers 30 to 60 percent of their week when the fragmentation collapses, which either reduces headcount pressure or expands strategic capacity. Third, revenue impact: faster deal desk cycles, more consistent pricing, and better proposal production typically improve close rate by 5-10 points, which is the largest line item in the ROI case for mid-market teams.
