Frequently Asked Questions
What should a request a quote form include?
Contact details, a service-type selector, a free-text scope description, an optional budget range, and a deadline. The scope field carries the load: prompt for the specific quantities your pricing formula needs. Skip anything you can look up yourself — every question you outsource to the buyer costs completions.
Should I ask for budget on a quote request form?
Ask, but never require. Around half of requesters will answer an optional budget range, and those answers prevent the two worst outcomes: hours spent on a proposal for someone with a tenth of your minimum, and underquoting a client who expected — and would have paid — more.
How fast should I respond to quote requests?
Same business day, ideally within an hour or two. Quote seekers almost always contact several providers at once, and the first credible number becomes the anchor every other quote is compared against. A fast rough range beats a slow precise figure in most service categories.
Should I put my prices online or make people request a quote?
Publish anchors, quote specifics. A 'projects start from…' figure on the page filters out mismatched budgets before they cost you estimating time, while the form captures everyone whose job is genuinely custom. Fully hidden pricing suppresses requests from serious buyers who fear wasting their own time.
