Proposal Turnaround
Proposal turnaround is the elapsed time between a prospect requesting a proposal and receiving it.
Example
A prospect asks for a quote on Monday and receives a formal proposal by Wednesday, a two-day turnaround.
Why it matters
A slow turnaround gives a prospect time to consider a competitor or lose momentum entirely, independent of how strong the eventual proposal is.
Limits and cautions
Rushing a proposal to hit a fast turnaround can produce a worse, less accurate scope than taking the necessary time to get it right.
Relevance to Stelaah
Stelaah's estimate and proposal workflow can timestamp the request and the sent proposal, giving turnaround a factual basis where that data is tracked.
This connection describes product intent, not a guarantee that every plan or workflow supports every related capability.
