The Difference

Professional Quotes, Built in Minutes

With LiveDesk's entertainment agency proposals software, every quote comes together quickly, looks polished and consistent, and converts straight into a confirmed booking. Your team spends less time formatting and re-entering details, and more time closing the enquiry.

Every Quote Built in Minutes

A saved line item library and pricing structure mean every quote starts from a ready-made foundation, not a blank document. Select the line items, set the values, and the quote builds itself — leaving more time to focus on winning the booking.

Proposals That Reflect Your Agency's Standard

Every quote goes out with consistent, professional formatting that sets the right tone from the first communication. A polished proposal builds client confidence from the outset and carries that impression through every conversation that follows.

A Formal Digital Record of Every Approval

Clients approve quotes with a clear digital confirmation, timestamped and stored against the record. If a question comes up later, you have a definitive audit trail — not a message buried in someone's inbox.

One Entry, Carried Straight Through to the Booking

The performer, event date, client details, and agreed fee carry over automatically once a quote is approved. Enter the information once, and it flows straight through to the booking — accurate and ready to go.

What Is It?

What Is Quoting Software for Entertainment Agencies?

Quoting software for entertainment agencies is a platform that manages the entire quoting process — from building a quote from your performer roster and saved pricing library, through sending a professional proposal to the client, to collecting their online approval and converting it into a confirmed booking. Instead of assembling each quote manually in Word, pricing gigs over the phone, and forwarding PDFs with no formal approval process attached, every stage of the quote journey lives inside one system, connected directly to your enquiry records, performer profiles, and booking management.

LiveDesk is entertainment agency management software with a quoting module built for how booking agencies actually work. When an enquiry arrives, you select performers from your roster, pick line items from your saved pricing library, and send a professional, branded quote to the client in minutes — directly from inside the platform. The client receives the proposal by email and replies to confirm. You then convert the accepted quote to a booking in LiveDesk — with the performer, client, event date, and agreed fee already populated — and raise the invoice from the same record.

For agencies where quoting currently means copying from old emails, manually formatting a document, and chasing verbal approvals, LiveDesk is entertainment agency quoting software that removes every piece of that friction — so you respond faster, present more professionally, and win more bookings from the very first touchpoint.

Why It Matters

Why Booking Agency Quote Software Wins on Speed and Presentation

Clients contacting multiple agencies will book with whoever responds fastest with the most professional proposal. LiveDesk is the tool that helps you win on both measures, every time.

Minutes
Quote the client before your competitors do

Saved line items and performer profiles mean your proposal builds itself. The agency that responds fastest wins the booking — LiveDesk makes sure that agency is yours.

One Action
Convert an accepted quote to a confirmed booking

When the client says yes, convert the accepted quote to a booking inside LiveDesk. The performer, client, date, and fee carry over from the quote — no separate form, no starting over.

Zero
Data to find when you convert the quote to a booking

The performer, client, event date, and agreed fee carry over from the accepted quote when you convert it to a booking. Enter the details once — they flow through from there.

Build Quotes from Saved Line Items — No Starting from Scratch

LiveDesk gives you a library of saved line items — performance fees, travel, accommodation, production costs, and any other pricing type your agency uses regularly. When an enquiry comes in, you select the relevant items, set the values, and the quote builds and calculates itself. No blank document to format. No spreadsheet to reference. Every quote has a consistent, professional structure from the start, and it takes a fraction of the time it used to.

  • Saved line item library: Pre-build the pricing types your agency uses on every quote — performance fee, travel, production, agency margin — so you're selecting rather than typing from scratch for each new enquiry.
  • Fees and agency margin on one line: Enter the performer's fee and your agency's margin together. LiveDesk calculates the client-facing total automatically — the quote always adds up correctly without manual arithmetic.
  • Multiple options in one proposal: Present a choice of performers or packages at different price points within a single document. The client compares options without receiving several separate emails.
  • Tied to the lead record: Every quote you build sits inside the relevant lead record from the start — no manual filing, no linking after the fact, no lost documents.
Performer Profiles

Attach Performer Profiles Directly to Your Quote

A price alone does not win a booking — the client needs to see who they are hiring. LiveDesk lets you attach performer profiles directly to each quote, so the client receives a complete proposal: pricing, event details, and a clear picture of who the performer is and what they do. Everything they need to say yes, in one document, from the first contact.

  • Pull from your existing roster: Select performers from your roster when building the quote. Their profiles — bio, act description, and any media you have saved — attach to the proposal instantly.
  • Client sees the complete picture: The recipient receives more than a line item and a number. They get a professional proposal with the information they need to make a confident decision.
  • Multiple performers, one document: Present several performer options in a single branded proposal — each with their own profile — so the client compares choices without receiving multiple separate emails.
  • Profiles stay current automatically: Performer profiles in LiveDesk are managed centrally. Update a bio or act description once and it reflects in every new quote you build going forward.

Branded Proposals

Send Branded Quotes That Set the Right Tone From the Start

The quote is often the first formal communication a client receives from your agency. How it looks tells them a great deal about how you operate — and agencies that send polished, consistent proposals win more bookings from higher-value clients. LiveDesk produces branded quotes that look professional every time, without any additional formatting work from your team.

  • Consistent presentation across every quote: Every proposal that leaves LiveDesk has the same clean, professional layout — regardless of who on your team built it or how fast the turnaround was.
  • Send directly from the platform: Send the branded quote to the client from inside LiveDesk. The outbound message is logged against the lead record automatically — no blind outbox, no chasing sent folders.
  • No account or download required: The client receives the proposal cleanly by email and can review it from any device without needing to create an account or open an attachment.
  • The first touchpoint sets the relationship: A polished quote signals a professional agency. That first impression carries through to how much the client trusts you, how quickly they reply, and how readily they accept the price.
How It Works

From Enquiry to Confirmed Booking — Step by Step

Every step of the quoting process flows directly from the last — nothing gets lost, nothing is entered twice, and every stage is visible in one platform.

01

Enquiry Arrives

A client enquiry is captured in LiveDesk as a lead — with contact details, event requirements, and date all logged in one record from the moment it comes in.

02

Build the Quote

Select line items from your saved pricing library and pull performer profiles from your roster. A complete, professional proposal is ready to send in minutes.

03

Send the Proposal

Send the branded quote directly from LiveDesk. The client receives it by email and can review performer profiles, pricing, and event details at their own pace.

04

Client Responds

The client replies to confirm they want to go ahead. Log the acceptance against the quote record in LiveDesk — a clear note of when they confirmed and what was agreed.

05

Convert to Booking

Convert the accepted quote to a confirmed booking in LiveDesk. The performer, client, date, and agreed fee carry over from the quote — enter the details once and they flow through.

Quote to Booking

From Accepted Quote to Confirmed Booking — With No Duplicate Admin

When the client says yes, the next steps in LiveDesk are straightforward — and all the details you already have carry through so nothing gets entered twice.

Client Responds to Confirm

When the client is ready to go ahead, they reply to the quote — by email, phone, or however they prefer to communicate. Log the acceptance against the quote record in LiveDesk so there is a clear note of when they confirmed and what was included in the quote they accepted.

A logged confirmation is useful if any detail — a fee, a date, a performer — is ever queried down the line.

Convert the Quote to a Booking

Once the client has confirmed, convert the accepted quote to a booking in LiveDesk. The performer, client, event date, and agreed fee carry over from the quote — no re-entering data you already have, no separate form to fill in. From there, the booking is live in your system and ready to manage.

Converting from the accepted quote removes the most common source of booking errors: copying details across by hand.

Raise the Invoice from the Booking

With the booking created, issue the deposit invoice directly from the booking record in LiveDesk. The client details and agreed fee are already there — no switching tools, no re-entering the amount. Billing starts the moment the gig is confirmed.

The gap between confirmation and invoice is closed — cash flow starts moving without delay.
Common Questions

Quoting Software for Entertainment Agencies: Frequently Asked Questions

What is quoting software for entertainment agencies?

Quoting software for entertainment agencies is a platform that manages the entire quoting process — from building a proposal from your performer roster and saved pricing library, through sending a branded quote to the client, to collecting their online approval and converting it into a confirmed booking. Unlike generic document tools, LiveDesk is built for how booking agencies work — with quotes tied directly to lead records, performer profiles, and booking management, so every stage flows from the last with no duplication.

Can I build quotes from saved line items in LiveDesk?

Yes. LiveDesk gives you a library of saved line items — performance fees, travel, accommodation, production costs, and any other pricing type your agency uses regularly. When building a quote, you select the relevant items and set the values. LiveDesk calculates the totals automatically, keeping the structure consistent across every quote you send without starting from scratch each time.

How do I attach performer profiles to a quote in LiveDesk?

When building a quote, you select performers from your roster inside LiveDesk. Their profiles — bio, act description, and any media stored in the system — attach to the proposal automatically. The client receives a complete document with both the pricing and the performer information they need to make a decision. You can include multiple performer options in a single proposal, each with their own profile, so the client can compare choices in one place rather than across several emails.

How does entertainment agency quoting software help me win more bookings?

The two factors that most influence whether a client books with you are response speed and presentation quality. LiveDesk addresses both. Because quotes are built from saved line items and performer profiles already in the system, you can produce and send a complete, branded proposal in minutes rather than hours. That speed — combined with a professional-looking quote that sets the right tone — gives you a real advantage over agencies still building proposals manually in Word documents.

How does a client confirm a quote sent through LiveDesk?

When a client is ready to go ahead, they reply to the quote you sent — by email, phone, or however they prefer to communicate. You then log the acceptance against the quote record in LiveDesk, keeping a clear note of when the client confirmed and what was included in the quote they accepted. This gives you a record on file if any detail is ever queried and marks the quote as accepted so you can move it forward.

What happens after a client confirms a quote in LiveDesk?

Once the client has confirmed, you convert the accepted quote to a booking inside LiveDesk. The performer, client, event date, and agreed fee carry over from the quote — you do not need to re-enter information you already have. With the booking created, you can then raise the deposit invoice directly from the booking record, with the client details and agreed fee already populated. The full journey from quote to booking to invoice stays inside one platform.
