How to track who viewed your proposal
Sent a proposal and heard nothing? Here's how to track who opened it, how long they read, and which sections they cared about — so you follow up at the right time.
Emailing a proposal as a PDF attachment is a black box. You don’t know if it was opened, skimmed, forwarded, or buried. Tracking changes that: instead of an attachment, you send a link, and the link reports back.
Send a link, not a file
Upload your proposal to a tool like Seendeck and generate a tracked share link — ideally one per recipient so opens are attributed individually. Send that link in your email instead of the file.
What you can see
- Who opened it and when — the first signal that it reached the right inbox.
- How long they actually read — active time, not a tab left open.
- Which sections held attention — per-slide/per-page time shows what they cared about (pricing? scope? timeline?).
- Repeat visits — a second open often means it’s being shared internally.
Turn views into follow-ups
The data is only useful if you act on it. When you see a prospect re-open the proposal and dwell on the pricing section, that’s your cue — reach out while you’re top of mind and address that specific point. We go deeper in how to follow up after sending a deck and why proposals go silent.
Stop sending decks into the dark
Share your next deck as a tracked link and see exactly who’s engaging.
