Default Question about Quote Sheet
I downloaded the sample forms that someone put on the forum and have really found most of them useful. The one that has given me some concern is the Quote for Services. I'm not really sure how that sheet works. Does anyone have any suggestions on what you do for a quote sheet? I am working on my forms and contracts and really want to make sure I have this one finished before I begin advertising for clients. Thanks so much.

Hi, you can get some ideas from Microsoft Office Online and then use your design and make the necessary changes.

This one might work http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...CT101438791033

That is exactly the link I was going to share with you.
I don't actually use a quote sheet in my own practice so would defer to the Microsoft template.

I think, in concept, as long as you're clearly articulating back to the client what it is you understand the job entails, how much you *estimate* it will cost, and an estimated time frame for delivery of the completed project (or a deadline if agreed upon with the client) then you've got the bases covered.

Adding a bit of text about what the quote is and any additional details on how you will complete the project (if necessary) all capped off with your logo, tagline - or company letterhead - would be a nice touch as well

what tess and viviana has said is exactly what I would do. It's very easy. Infact, what you could do is draft a template and then save it on your pc for future reference.

Much like Debsoffice I am new and this quote sheet is very helpful. I was going to disregard the form, but when I read it is very short, but leaves a very professional impression.

Thanks for this.

Using a quote sheet is a great idea. Another thing to add to my to-do list. It seems like every time I mark something off the list, I add four more.
