Why quote format matters
Your quote will probably compete with others. Don’t leave the customer to guess at what they get for their money. And make it easy for them to contact you if there are questions.
You don’t have to commit to a price forever so put an expiration date on your quote. You can follow up with the customer before it runs out, which will show that you’re keen to win the job.
If you’re not too sure about the price, consider calling it an estimate instead.
