The math that hurts
Five quotes a week at one hour each, at an hourly rate of €65, is €325 a week. Over 46 working weeks: more than €15,000 a year — just for writing quotes. And that doesn't even count the evening hours, because those feel 'free.' They're not: that's your own time.
The hidden cost: lost jobs
The real cost is in what you don't do. A quote that sits for four days because you had no time is lost more often than one sent the same day. Slow quoting costs double: your hours and your revenue.
What to do about it
Writing them is largely repeat work: your prices, your text, your structure. That's exactly the part an AI assistant can take over — it prepares the draft with a PDF, you check the figures and hit send. From an hour to five minutes per quote.
