Hey Fellow Independents!
When a client asks for a quote and a plan, how do you send it? We know time is money, but professionalism is key.
Path A: Quick Chat Quote (Direct Text)
-> Pros: Fastest, keeps momentum high.
-> Cons: Less formal, harder to justify that $1,000+ price tag.
Path B: Formal Proposal (PDF/Doc)
-> Pros: Highly professional, clearly justifies the investment and scope.
-> Cons: Takes extra time (unpaid) to prepare, slows the sales cycle.
Let's Discuss!
Independents: Which option do you default to for projects over $1,000, and why?
Clients: What do you prefer to receive? A quick chat quote, or a polished document?
