STAFFLINK is one of the fastest-growing companies in Australia’s real estate industry. Founded by real estate agents wanting more innovative solutions, they help real estate agencies increase productivity, cut costs, and increase sales revenue by streamlining processes and onshore and offshore team expansion.

A large part of STAFFLINK’s growth is due to the team behind it — a team that’s experimental, open to trying out new technologies, and not afraid of learning.

The challenge

All companies experiencing rapid growth face challenges, and STAFFLINK is no exception. As they grew quickly, every process was called into question. They knew that further scaling would require smooth operations and a seamless buyer experience, but what was the best way to make that happen?

They decided to start at the beginning. If STAFFLINK wanted to grow to the next level, they knew they needed to present a professional image to prospective customers. This led to a period of testing out a variety of proposal software tools, hunting for the one that represented them in the best way.

Many of the tools they tested generated simple PDF proposals. While that works for some companies, STAFFLINK felt like it limited the creativity of their sales and marketing teams.

STAFFLINK’s solutions rely heavily on improving processes and workflows for their clients. Since every prospect is unique, they needed a versatile solution that would enable them to include rich and interactive content, such as videos.

The solution

After some hunting, STAFFLINK found their way to Qwilr. They were blown away with the impression it made and the ability to add videos, interactive tools, and an ROI calculator. In the past, they’d been forced to send critical items like this separate from their proposals.

Impressed by what they saw, STAFFLINK started using Qwilr for presentations, proposals, and monthly reports to their SEO and website clients.

Building trust from the start

The impact was dramatic. STAFFLINK’s sales team quickly doubled their close rate—from 25% to 50%— for website and SEO services.

Leveraging customized and professional proposals enabled STAFFLINK’s team to put their best foot forward from their very first interactions with clients. They weren’t just a quickly growing startup hoping for a chance—they were experts with an incredibly valuable offering.

Great visuals

Business proposals, presentations, and reports have one major thing in common: they all benefit from concise and well-presented information.

When creating collateral like this, you need to find a balance: how much info is enough to make a point, but not so much that engagement will suffer?

Qwilr's great visuals enabled STAFFLINK to strike that balance with their clients.

Their proposals and reports looked so impressive that they could include less content.

The most visible impact of this was in their engagement numbers: STAFFLINK's clients used to engage with their proposals for about a minute, if not less. With Qwilr, some clients now view their proposals for 30-40 minutes.

Versatility and efficiency

Qwilr's proposals are so easy to navigate and understand that STAFFLINK managed to completely eliminate a step from their sales process. In the past, every proposal required a follow up call to walk the client through the details.

With Qwilr, they’ve found that step to be completely unnecessary.

In addition to eliminating steps, Qwilr also included features that made their sales team more efficient.

Features like listing recurring payments in the proposal and embedding reports have allowed them to send out more proposals, faster.

Quality of support

As they’ve used Qwilr, STAFFLINK noticed that Qwilr’s support and communication has been far better than any other provider they tested.

Through really responsive support that cares about their success, STAFFLINK’s team feel well positioned for the future.

The impact

Qwilr’s proposals have even helped STAFFLINK leave lasting impressions on prospects. In addition to doubling their close rate and enabling faster proposal creation, they’ve found that clients keep returning to their offering.

When you’re able to close double the prospects with significantly less time, you know your sales team is well-equipped to drive additional business growth.
