These are three documents that can help a revenue cloud consultant gain a better understanding of
the client’s business model, value proposition, pricing strategy, and approval process before
engaging in a scoping session.
A sample proposal the client provides to their customers: This document can help the consultant
understand how the client presents their products and services to their customers, what kind of
information they include, how they structure their pricing and discounts, and what terms and
conditions they apply. This can help the consultant design a solution that meets the client’s needs
and expectations, as well as aligns with their branding and messaging. 1
Brochures that provided detail to the products and services the client offers: This document can help
the consultant understand the features and benefits of the client’s products and services, how they
differentiate themselves from their competitors, and what kind of value they deliver to their
customers. This can help the consultant configure the product catalog, pricing rules, and quote
templates that reflect the client’s offerings and value proposition. 2
An approval matrix documentation that describe the approvals needed before a quote is sent to the
customer: This document can help the consultant understand the client’s internal governance and
compliance requirements, as well as the roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders involved in the
quote-to-cash process. This can help the consultant set up the approval workflows, notifications, and
permissions that ensure the accuracy and validity of the quotes and contracts. 3
