Send a proposal and wonder if it even got opened? Not anymore. Prosperus tells you exactly when your client viewed it, how many times, and how long they spent reading — in real time.
The intelligence behind the follow-up
Most freelancers follow up on a schedule. Three days after sending, then a week later, regardless of what the client has done. Real-time tracking changes that.
If they opened it twice yesterday, maybe you wait another day. If they haven’t opened it in a week, that’s a different conversation. The data doesn’t make the decision for you — it just means you’re not flying blind.
No spam filter excuses
Tracking confirms whether the proposal actually got opened. If a client says they never received it and you can see it was viewed four times, that’s useful information.
If it genuinely wasn’t opened after several days, that’s worth knowing too — check the email address, try a different approach, or pick up the phone.
FAQs

Prosperus tracks when the proposal was opened and total time spent. Slide-by-slide heatmaps aren’t currently available.
Tracking is standard practice for proposal software, similar to email read receipts. The client isn’t notified, but it’s worth being aware this is how most modern proposal tools work.
No. PDF tracking isn’t possible once the file leaves your hands. The online proposal link is where tracking happens.
Any view of the proposal link is counted. If multiple people at a company open it, you’ll see a higher view count and can follow up accordingly.
