Good quotes are short. One paragraph of understanding, one table of scope, one price, one deadline, three terms. Everything else is an attachment.

Frequently asked questions
How long should a quote be?
One page. If you need more, attach it. The client decides in the first minute.
What belongs in the terms?
Payment, changes, what is not included. Three lines are enough if they are clear.
How long should a quote be valid?
14 days is common. A deadline makes the decision easier, not harder.
How does Random Assistant draft a quote?
From the request in your inbox and your history with the contact. The draft lands in your drafts; you check prices and send.
Can I adapt the template?
Yes, it is plain text. Copy, change, keep.
What if the client does not reply?
The assistant reminds you of quotes that went quiet and drafts the follow-up.
