It's... amazing. A godsend. There's a few tweaks of course that I'd love to see made and I'm pretty positive they're coming down the pipeline. I've sold SO much using preveal since buying it... it's literally priceless to me at this point.
Oh and I posted on the Preveal facebook about my workflow with it using PhotoSmith and Preveal together to make the sale. My first three sales with the system in place have totaled over $4000.

What's with the inability to create your own templates, sorta silly, no? Or to put one print on the wall, and then add another, and another?
That is my (and most peoples') main gripe with it...
I think all that will come down the pipeline at some point. Even still I've found it to be very effective and I only just started using it. I have a friend who made a single $9,000 sale with it (yes, nine thousand dollar sale).

Does anyone have a recommendation for a similar efficiency tool that I would be able to use? Thanks!
Yes there is. Its for PS. Some photographer sells templates you can mix and match and you can also use their own wall.
Update: still using it almost daily now that I'm in season here... Haven't had a single sale under $1400 since I started. Previously, my online gallery sales averaged about $300-500 per session and I rarely ever sold canvas or anything larger than 16x20. Now, I don't have a single client walk out without a 20x30 or larger. It really doesn't even matter if you can create your own templates or not... I always manage to find something that works and the clients literally cannot walk away from it once they've seen it.
Thank you! How critical do you think it is to have actual pictures of the client's space vs. stock images of living spaces? We very rarely visit the client's actual home, so if that's truly an essential part of the process then I guess I'd have to ask the client to send a pic or otherwise schedule a time to visit?
I'm not finding it critical at all. I'm mostly working with people who are on vacation so its extremely rare that they follow all my instructions and bring a shot of the room without taking it from an angle, too close up, etc... And most of them forget to do it all together. Occasionally I'll get a cell phone pic with a measurement so I have a bit of an idea, but that's it. 85% of the time I'm using a stock room image. I've sold two staircase galleries today alone without an image of the room. (It seems like everyone has an empty staircase wall these days)

One week on the This Week in Photo podcast I heard a guy raving about a system for projectors that displays actual sizes of prints on his wall. He said it really increased sales. I tried to find the name of it but I can't for the life of me.

That would be ProSelect. It's long been a great tool for in studio sales. I can't install a projector in my place or I would be using that as well.
