Configuring Multidimensional Quoting for Modern Sales

Modern subscription models demand flexible pricing structures, yet traditional flat-rate quotes fail to capture changing customer needs over time. Multidimensional quoting (MDQ) solves this by allowing sales teams to detail pricing, quantities, and discounts across distinct time blocks within a single contract. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts and practical configuration of multidimensional quoting, showing you how to design sophisticated, multi-year proposals that scale. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of multidimensional quoting (MDQ) and how it differs from standard line-item quoting - Configure multi-segment products to represent ramp-up pricing, variable quantities, and custom discount schedules over time - Apply best practices for managing subscriptions, co-termining contracts, and handling mid-term amendments - Structure complex quotes to clearly communicate value to buyers while maintaining pricing integrity - Analyze real-world scenarios to determine when to use flat-rate, recurring, or multi-dimensional pricing models You will start with essential terminology and foundational quoting concepts before exploring step-by-step configuration workflows, discount structures, and contract lifecycle management. This course is designed for sales operations professionals, business analysts, and beginners looking to understand modern Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) strategies, with no prior administration experience required.
