# Overview

Stand out from your competitors and send your customers a professional looking, Brochure Style quote. With the ability to create a quote specific "generic" product description you will be able to send your customers quotes that allow them to see all the pricing for their selected list of products with generic descriptions BUT not include the product ID or anything which would allow your customer to shop around, helping you to convert more quotes to sales.  

Once configured, you will create a Sales Quote as per normal then using a Print Brochure option, you select the brochure type for example Bathroom, Kitchen or General building and then the Brochure Style quote will be created.
