We want to increase your chance of winning work, so we no longer allow $0 or $1 quotes.
Here’s why:
Real prices increase win rates by 20%
We’ve analysed the quotes submitted over the last year and found that businesses who give a reasonable price indication (i.e. they don’t enter a $0 quote) win approximately 20% more jobs.
Here’s some more proof that customers love it when you leave a real quote and hate it when you don’t:
“Having suppliers that send ridiculous quotes or not including a price then leaves a bad taste in the consumer's mouth, as that is why we use your service in the first place.” – Jay
“One or two companies quoted $0 or $1, and I needed to call them to get a quote, which wasn’t ideal. I thought that using this service, they would be the ones to get in touch with me.” – Marcus.
When in doubt, give a price range
If you’re hesitant about giving a price without more details of the job or a site inspection, then you can enter a price range.
Remember – the prices you offer in your online quote are not legally binding, but try to be realistic. Don’t leave a low-ball price to get a customer interested and increase the price later on. It’s better to overestimate and have a happy customer on your hands once you’ve completed the job for less.
Happy quoting!
