What Is a Quotation?

A quotation is a document sent by a business to its potential customers and clients. A quotation contains a list of all the business offerings. This includes the names of products or services offered, its prices, discounts, and other pertinent information that may influence a sale or business transaction.

This quotation is useful not only for those businesses selling products but also to businesses that are providing services to their clients.

How to Write a Request for Quotation

Tips for Writing a Good Business Quotation

Below are some helpful guidelines you can observe in writing a good quotation proposal:

• Don’t forget to label your quotation proposal.
• A quotation must have the basic information of the business preparing it. Otherwise, it would be difficult for prospective buyers to differentiate your quotation from the ones prepared by other businesses. Hence you must write your company’s name, address, and contact information.
• You have the option to write a statement addressing your customer personally.
• Then make a list of the items that your potential customer may be looking for. Indicate the price per item. You can also specify the discounts, the delivery method, and payment method.
• Don’t forget to specify the duration when the prices indicated in your quotation are still applicable. This is important so that you won’t lose profits by following the prices in your offferings despite the pricing increase of those items due to economic inflation and other causes for price fluctuations.
• Lastly, it is worth remembering that your quotation is still a part of your company’s branding. That is why, you have to ensure that the colors that you use for your company’s letterhead on the quotation is similar to the theme used in all of your company’s branding documents, advertisements, social media posts, and flyers.

Advantages of Quotations

Sending a quotation to your potential customers is immensely beneficial to your company for the following reasons:

• A quotation allows customers the chance to gauge their buying capabilities. It helps them become more realistic when it comes to finalizing their list of items to procure from the list offered by the business in a quotation.
• A quotation creates a win-win situation between buyers and sellers. This is so because the pricings indicated in a quotation are not final hence, the customers can negotiate these prices as well as the other terms indicated in the quotation. In the same way, a business can have the time to assess whether or not they can afford to allow such price adjustments asked for by their potential customers.

Disadvantages of Quotations

There also disadvantages in using quotations and those are:

• It is an impersonal way of dealing with a customer. Sometimes it is far easier to convince a customer to purchase products from your company if the sales agent or clerk has a charismatic and persuasive character. This is something that cannot be achieved by a mere quotation since a quotation is in written form. It is bereft of emotional components.
• The pricings indicated in a quotation can expire since there is no assurance that a certain product or service would remain to be profitable after a few weeks if offered in the same pricing as weeks before.
