Start tracking freeTuesday Morning Reality Check
It's 9:47 AM. You just sent that critical proposal PDF to your enterprise prospect. The one you've been working on for three weeks. You hit send, and now... silence. Did they open it? Are they sharing it internally? Which sections are they spending time on?
With Qwilr, you'd need to rebuild your entire proposal in their editor, fight with formatting limitations users constantly complain about[12], and pay at least $420/year per person. With ShareDoc, you upload your existing PDF and get tracking instantly. Free.
Here's what happens next: Within minutes, you get that first notification. "Sarah from Acme Corp viewed your proposal." Then another. "Sarah spent 3 minutes on pricing page." By lunch, you know exactly who's engaged and what matters to them.
The Account Executive's Tracking Workflow
Upload Your Battle-Tested PDF
That proposal template you've perfected over months? Keep using it. Unlike Qwilr's restrictive editor that forces you to rebuild everything from scratch[11], ShareDoc works with your existing materials. Upload once, track forever.
Know Who's Actually Engaged
See exactly who opens your proposal, when they view it, and which pages they focus on. Get notifications the moment a key stakeholder engages. No more "following up" blindly — you know exactly when to reach out.
Capture Hidden Stakeholders
When your champion forwards the proposal internally, ShareDoc's optional lead capture reveals those hidden decision-makers. Build your complete stakeholder map without awkward "who else is involved?" conversations.
Move Deals Forward Faster
"Hey Sarah, I noticed your team spent time on our implementation timeline — let's discuss any concerns." Use engagement data to have better conversations and address objections before they become roadblocks.
The $250K Deal That Almost Died
Picture this: You've sent your proposal to the VP of Sales. Three days pass. Nothing. In the old world (or with Qwilr's basic analytics that users find lacking[10]), you're flying blind. Do you follow up and risk seeming pushy? Wait and risk losing momentum?
With ShareDoc, you see the truth: The VP opened it briefly, then forwarded it to their CFO and Head of Operations. The CFO has opened it six times, spending 12 minutes on your ROI calculations. The Head of Ops downloaded it yesterday.
Now you know exactly what's happening. You send a targeted email: "Hi John, I noticed your finance team has been reviewing our ROI model. I'd love to walk through our assumptions and ensure they align with your metrics." That's not pushy — that's helpful. That's how deals get unstuck.
The Math Every Account Executive Should Know
Let's talk money. Qwilr's Business plan costs $35/user/month[6] (billed annually). For a team of 5 account executives, that's $2,100/year. And that's before you realize you need their Enterprise plan at $59/user/month for Salesforce integration — now you're looking at $3,540/year minimum.
ShareDoc? Free for everything you need as an individual AE. Upload unlimited PDFs, get unlimited tracking, capture unlimited leads. When your whole team wants in, Pro is $29/month total — not per user. That's 1/12th the cost.
But here's the real kicker: With Qwilr, you're paying all that money to rebuild your proposals in their system. With ShareDoc, you keep using the PDFs that already work. No learning curve. No reformatting. No fighting with editors. Just instant intelligence on your existing sales materials.
"But What About Interactive Proposals?"
Sure, Qwilr lets you build interactive web proposals. Embedding videos, adding pricing calculators, creating dynamic content. Sounds great in theory.
In practice? Your prospects still ask for "the PDF version" to share internally. Your procurement team wants a static document for their files. Your legal team needs something they can redline. And you spend hours wrestling with Qwilr's editor instead of selling.
ShareDoc embraces reality: PDFs aren't going anywhere in enterprise sales. Instead of forcing you to change, we make your PDFs smarter. Track them, gate them, understand them — without changing how your buyers want to buy.
