Getting customers on board, or working with existing ones on new projects, is incredibly exciting (and often a massive relief). After all, more business usually helps you grow, build up your reputation, and it keeps the lights on.
When you’re in the process of securing work, whether you’re dealing with clients new or old, it’s good practice to give them a written quote rather than only agreeing to a price verbally.
While a written quote isn’t a legal requirement, it’s in your business’s best interests to take every step possible to make sure you get paid. Having proof that all parties agreed to the original price along with a description of the exact services or products it covers can be a big help. Not to mention it’s useful for your bookkeeping records. We like those!
