Multiple Offers

Scenario AtlasIQ, a SaaS company offering AI infrastructure tools, often builds proposals with multiple pricing packages—such as “Starter,” “Growth,” and “Enterprise”—using DealHub’s Multi-System functionality. While this gives customers flexibility, it created operational friction. Buyers would verbally choose one offer, but sales reps then had to manually remove the unselected systems and products from Salesforce, risking errors and slowing down approvals.To streamline this, AtlasIQ configured a dropdown menu in the DealRoom that lets buyers select the offer they want. Behind the scenes, DealHub converts that selection into a numeric value, which is used to flag which quote system to keep. All other systems are tagged for deletion via a synced proposal attribute (Offer__c) and a custom Salesforce field (Delete__c).Once the buyer submits their choice, Salesforce automatically deletes the non-selected quote lines using DealHub’s Quote Line Deletion package. The final CRM record reflect

Configuring Floor Pricing

Scenario TechNest, a mid-market SaaS provider of enterprise collaboration tools, operates a multi-tier sales model:Sales Reps can offer limited discounts. Managers and VPs can approve deeper discounts for strategic accounts.However, rather than approving based on a discount percentage, TechNest sets absolute floor prices per SKU. For example, while the list price for the “Collaboration Suite Pro” is $100/user/month, Sales Reps must not go below $80, and Managers must not approve less than $70.DealHub’s standard approval workflows rely on discount percentage thresholds—not specific price points.To meet this requirement the team implemented a flexible floor-price-based approval system using DealHub’s product and proposal attributes, assignment rules, and general workflows, outlined below. Solution PRODUCT ATTRIBUTEIn Products, click on Actions, then click on Settings, then select the “Product Attributes" tab.  Click Add Attribute and change Type to “Number”Label this attribute “Floor Pri

Ordered Pricing

Scenario InsightFlow, a SaaS company, provides a flexible analytics platform with modular features. Customers can choose from a list of add-ons such as:Data Enrichment Predictive Modeling Custom DashboardsEach module adds value, but InsightFlow wants to incentivize volume purchasing through tiered pricing:The first module purchased is priced at a premium. The second module is discounted. Additional modules are priced even lower.This approach increases deal sizes while maintaining perceived value for the primary feature.Traditional CPQ systems price each product independently. However, InsightFlow wants pricing to depend on the order of selection, not the product itself. Regardless of which modules are chosen:First = $50 Second = $30 Third = $15This dynamic pricing must work within the constraints of DealHub’s CPQ engine without requiring hardcoding for every combination. Solution  Playbook Configuration (Set up for a total of 3 products):Add a question to the playbook that is a Text Li

Rate Cards / Usage

Scenario A cloud communications provider sells products such as API calls, voice minutes, and message transactions. Buyers can either:Commit to purchasing a minimum volume upfront, or Lock in future rates through a rate card, without immediate purchase.Sales needs a way to configure deals that reflect both committed usage (which is billable now) and rate card agreements (which are informational for future usage), all in the same proposal and order form.The goal is to set up a pricing and proposal structure in DealHub that:Differentiates between committed usage (charged now) and rate card usage (charged later). Displays tiered rates and volumes for both types. Automatically updates the order form with correct product details, quantities, and pricing.  Solution Playbook configurationUsing a repeatable table in the playbook is a great tool to create custom tiers or prices for usage products. Suggested questions: Is this a commit or rate card product?

Pricing is maintained in USD, but clients often request quotes in their local currencies (EUR, GBP, AUD, etc.).Previously, reps manually adjusted currency conversions or referenced internal spreadsheets.

Managing renewal and upsell in different pipelines

Hey! I’m running into a situation and could use some input.I’ve got a renewal deal that also includes an upsell — and right now, I’m handling it with two separate deals in two different pipelines: One deal for the renewing products One deal for the upsell (new products) This setup came from the idea that we need separate pipelines for renewals vs. new business since each has different weights.Just wondering… is this still the best approach? Or is there a cleaner way to manage a renewal that includes an upsell without splitting it across pipelines?
