Quote request
A quote request asks a business to price a defined piece of work. The initial conversation often lacks the information needed for a reliable offer, so the next step may be a site visit, clarification or assessment. An indicative estimate and an agreed quotation should be labelled clearly rather than used interchangeably.
Why it matters for your business
Structured capture lets a service business check fit and prepare a sensible response without quoting blindly. It also helps the customer understand what information is needed to move forward.
A business example
A cleaning company records the property type, location and requested service before deciding whether it can give a price or needs more detail.
