Mimiran – Sales Proposals for SMBs


Mimiran is a tool that small business owners can use to create price quotes and sales proposals. Unlike competing web-applications, Mimiran takes things a step beyond basic business proposals and actually helps merchants close deals faster by providing instant notifications when their proposals have been viewed or commented on by potential clients.

When you sign up for a free trial, you can try out Mimiran and begin sending proposals and quotes to clients online. Speed up the process of sending standard proposals by creating your own pricing rules and setting up your own proposal templates. Mimiran will save the information you put in, and you can use it to quickly build custom price quotes with virtually zero effort. In addition to including the standard pricing and response deadline information, Mimiran also lets you add images and videos to the proposals you create. When your proposal is complete, go ahead and send it to your client. Mimiran will let you know when it’s been opened and viewed, and your client can comment directly on the proposal with any questions or concerns he or she may have.

Mimiran offers tools that help merchants up-sell and cross-sell their clients by automatically suggesting which products or services a business’ salespeople should recommend based on the other products a client has already purchased. Mimiran also integrates with Salesforce and Highrise to facilitate smooth business transactions across multiple platforms.

Practical Uses:

  • Send proposals to potential clients
  • Decrease the time it takes to close major deals
  • Find out when customers have viewed the proposals you’ve sent
  • Create proposal templates that any of your employees can send out

Insider Tips:

  • Mimiran integrates with Highrise and Salesforce
  • No credit card is required to sign up for a free trial
  • Mark a proposal as “lost” when it won’t be accepted
  • Embed YouTube videos in any proposal

What we liked:

  • Mimiran tells people exactly when they should call to follow up on proposals
  • Templates make it easy to quickly send proposals to new clients
  • Mimiran notifies users when a client has commented on a proposal
  • Businesses that use Mimiran are less likely to make calculation errors when coming up with price quotes

What we didn’t like:

  • Mimiran’s pricing is based on the number of users at a company, which means larger companies could be paying a hefty price for the app
