Increase Your Business with Sales Quotes

Did you know that one of the best (and most efficient) ways to increase the amount of business you do is to provide sales quotes? Sales quotes – also referred to as price quotes – often mean the difference between landing a contract and not. Many small businesses make the mistake of not preparing or sending sales quotes quick enough, and in the world of business, timing is everything!

Increasing cash flow and getting invoices paid are two of the most common areas of difficulty for small businesses. Staying on track with clients from the start – such as with the sales quote – is a good way to increase your business and get paid when the job is done. Here are a few ways to increase your business with sales quotes:

• Send out a detailed sales quote – In many instances, a sales quote is the first impression potential clients have of your business. Clients want to do business with companies who provide clear and concise quotes, as well as detailed terms and conditions, prices and services they will be receiving.
• Don’t wait too long to respond – Sure, while you don’t want to be hasty and send out a poorly thought out quote, you also don’t want to make the potential client wait too long – they’ll probably move on to the next business. Use a cloud software that provides sales quotes capabilities to easily manage and create sales quotes no matter where you are.
• Follow up – After two or three days, follow up with the client if you have not heard a response. Communicating with a prospect increases the chance of a sales quote being accepted before things cool off after the initial meeting.

Use cloud-based software to your advantage! Software programs, such as Xero, are designed to make a positive impact on your business by organising your data and providing you access to your spreadsheets and sales quotes from start to finish. Increase your business with sales quotes and see what a difference it makes!
