Frequently Asked Questions

Should I include my business name in the quote message? expand_more

For text quotes, it's optional since the client already knows who you are from the chat. For PDF attachments, always include your business name, logo, and contact info — it looks professional and helps if the client forwards it to someone else.

How specific should my pricing be? expand_more

As specific as you can be. Separate materials from labor. If you can name the product or brand, do it — it builds trust and reduces questions. Ranges are fine when the diagnosis is uncertain (like the appliance repair example above).

Can I use emojis in professional quotes? expand_more

Yes — sparingly. A wrench emoji or a thumbs up makes the message feel approachable without being unprofessional. Don't overdo it. Two to three per message is the sweet spot for residential clients.

What if the client asks for a discount? expand_more

Don't lower your price — adjust the scope instead. Offer to remove a line item or suggest a less expensive material option. This protects your margins while still giving the client flexibility.

How long should I wait before following up on a quote? expand_more

24 hours for the first follow-up, 48 hours for the second, and 5-7 days for a final check-in. Never send more than three follow-ups on one quote. Need follow-up scripts? They're in our full WhatsApp quoting guide.
