Hey everyone I'm Kyle Racki, the CEO of Proposify, and I'm Ricky Farris the

Chief Product Officer at Propsify, and we're excited to announce the launch of

Proposify 2. This has been a long time in the works, the team has been busy

at work for the last year and a half on Proposify 2, and we're going to announce it

to you guys and explain what's new in it, and why we've decided to rebuild Proposify

from the ground up and then the next steps involved if you want to

switch over and start using Proposify 2. So first of all, the reason why we

rebuilt Proposify instead of just upgrading the existing one really has to

do with being able to make sure we're using the latest technology in a way

that's going to make our product fast secure and scalable as we move forward.

The problem that we had where we had a lot of features inside the editor that our

users were not discovering because you had to right-click to get to the

properties and we decided that this just wasn't acceptable so we revamped, it we

looked at a lot of very popular editors and decided to take on the contextual

approach. Now when you select an element it will pop over to the side, all of

the options that are available to it. This would also enable us to move

forward to the tablet and mobile markets. In addition we're launching Proposify 2

with a couple of really cool features that users have been asking for

for a long time one of them is custom variables. So now you'll be able to

create your own fields that you can use to populate your proposals using

variables and also we have a much easier way of adding variables to proposals and

templates where you just have to hit the pound key type your variable and it will

fill in. We've added two key new integrations one is Basecamp 3 and

the other one is the all-new FreshBooks. With teams and roles we've improved

the level of control that admins have over the content. Now when you

create a team, and they create content, it's automatically blocked from everyone

else, as well as a few other smaller features that will definitely empower

admins to control the proposal process. So if you're an existing customer and you

want to switch over to Proposify 2 here's what you need to know. First of

all, if you're worried about are you gonna like it, we've

been testing this out for months, we've had all new customers going in to

Proposify 2, and the feedback has been very solid.

We think you're gonna love it. Once you're in, we're not actually able to

switch you back, so just know that once you move over then that's it, but that is

going to be the future of Proposify, it's what we're going be updating going

forward and adding a ton of great new features. There will be a banner that will

appear for all account admins within Proposify. It will ask them to migrate me,

yes switch me over. When they click that button they'll be added to a queue

where accounts will be, one at a time, transferred over into the new

Proposify 2. What this means is that all accounts won't be affected as single

accounts are moved over. During the actual migration process it should only

last a few minutes per account. If you have a very large proposal count, it will

take some time, you'll be hearing from some of our customers success

representatives to custom move you over at an appropriate time. We're really

proud of what the team here at Proposify has done, and we just actually raised

a round of investment for the company which we're going to use to make our

product even better, to get more people on our team, and ultimately to build the

best proposal app for you. So I want to thank you for all your support you've

given us to date, we wouldn't be here without our awesome customers thank you

so much, and I'm excited to hear what you think of Proposify 2.
