Quote and estimate follow-up
Estimate expiring follow-up template
When material and labor costs move, an old estimate cannot stay good forever. This message gives the customer an honest reason to decide now, without feeling like a hard sell.
When to use it
Use it a few days before a quote's validity date passes.
Copy and paste
Subject: Your estimate for [project] is good through [Date] Hi [Name], Quick heads up that the estimate I sent for [project] is good through [Date]. After that I may need to re-quote based on current material and labor costs, which I would rather not do. If you are ready to move forward, just reply and I will lock in your price and hold a spot on the schedule. Thanks, [Your Name] [Business] [Phone]
Tips
- Give a real reason the price could change, like material costs.
- Make the deadline specific with a date.
- Offer to lock the price as the reward for deciding now.
- Stay friendly. Honest urgency works, pressure does not.
