The problem

Sending a proposal into the void and hoping for a response is not a strategy. CloakShare turns every proposal into a trackable, secure document with real-time notifications. Know when your prospect opens it, which pricing options they studied, and follow up at the exact right moment. Teams using tracked proposals see significantly higher close rates because they follow up with context, not guesswork.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly will I know when a prospect opens my proposal?

Instantly. CloakShare sends real-time webhooks when a document is opened. Connect these to Slack, email, or your CRM to get notified the moment a prospect starts reading.

Can I see which pricing tier a prospect focused on?

Yes. Page-level analytics show time spent per page. If your pricing options are on different pages, you will see exactly which tier received the most attention.

How do I prevent a prospect from forwarding my proposal to a competitor?

Email-gated links require the intended recipient to verify their email before viewing. Dynamic watermarks overlay the viewer's email on every page, making any screenshot traceable.

Can I integrate proposal tracking with my CRM?

Yes. The CloakShare API lets you create tracked links programmatically, and webhooks send view events directly to your CRM. Build automated workflows where proposal engagement triggers follow-up sequences.
