How Public Quotation Links Eliminate "Did You Get My Email?" Forever

It's 4:00 PM on Friday. You sent a quotation to a prospect at 10:00 AM. You haven't heard back.

You send a follow-up email: "Hi Client, just checking—did you get my quotation?"

They reply Monday at 11:00 AM: "It went to my spam folder."

You've just lost 3 days of sales momentum because email attachments are unreliable.

The Email Attachment Problem

PDF attachments fail for many reasons:

1. Spam Filters - Corporate email systems block large attachments, PDFs from unknown senders
2. Mobile Incompatibility - 4MB PDF takes 30 seconds to download on phone, client gives up
3. Forwarding Breaks Context - Boss sees attachment with no context or branding
4. Version Confusion - Quote_v1.pdf vs Quote_v2_FINAL.pdf confusion

The AdGrid Solution: Public Quotation Links

Instead of attaching a PDF, AdGrid sends a shareable link:

"Hi Client, your quotation is ready. You can view it here: https://adgrid.com/quotation/Q-2024-00347"

The client clicks and sees:

• Professional, mobile-optimized quotation page
• Company logo and branding
• All billboard details (locations, prices, photos, maps)
• Financial summary
• Two buttons: "Accept Quotation" and "Reject Quotation"

No download. No app required. No spam filters. It just works.

The "Did You Get It?" Problem: Solved

With public links, you always know if the client has seen your quotation:

• Link not clicked yet → They haven't opened it. Follow up.
• Link clicked, no action → They viewed it but didn't decide yet. Check in.
• Link clicked, accepted → Deal closed. Start production.
• Link clicked, rejected → They passed. Understand why.

No more guessing. You have real-time visibility.

The ROI of Public Links

Time Saved per Quotation:

• Old way: 3 follow-up emails = 15 minutes
• AdGrid way: Instant tracking = 0 follow-ups
• 200 quotations/year: 50 hours saved = $1,750

Faster Approval Cycles:

• Old way: 5 days average approval time
• AdGrid way: 2 days average approval time
• 3 days faster × 60 deals = 180 days freed-up capacity

Higher Acceptance Rates:

• Old way: 15% acceptance rate
• AdGrid way: 22% acceptance rate
• 7% improvement = 14 more deals per 200 quotations
• At $5,000 average = $70,000 additional revenue

Total annual impact: $71,750+ per sales team managing 200 quotations/year

Conclusion

Email attachments are a relic of the 1990s. Public quotation links are the modern standard:

• No spam filters (just a URL)
• Mobile-optimized (review and approve from any device)
• Real-time tracking (know exactly when clients view and accept)
• One-click approval (no email replies or phone tag)

Never send "Did you get my email?" again.
