Connect on LinkedInWhen I first started Quest Coaching Services, an executive advisory practice, I couldn't understand why my Word-document proposals and PayPal links seemed to turn prospects off — until I really sat back and thought about it.
I looked for alternatives that would look professional, actually make my life as a small business owner and solopreneur easier, and help convert proposals into paid clients. I never found one that worked for me.
So, fast forward to mid-2026: I put together a small team and built my own, focused on the kind of business I was actually running. That's PropelQuote. Every feature in it exists because I needed it on a real client call — quantifying what the work is worth, defending the fee, showing the numbers live during a conversation, and getting the thing signed and paid without a second meeting.
If something in the product doesn't work for the way you sell, tell me. I read every message.
