Who it's for
For whoever quotes every day and doesn't make a living from it.
If quoting is your product, you already have a system. This is for whoever quotes because there's no way around it, and every quote takes time away from what they actually sell.
Hotels and services tied to dates
Cabins, venues, tours, equipment rental. What you quote depends on there being room that day, and a price list doesn't answer that.
Distributors and parts dealers
Thousands of items in the catalog and a customer who describes what they need in their own words, not with your part number.
Workshops and bespoke services
Where every job is quoted differently but always with the same ingredients: materials, hours, travel and margin.
Two problems that look the same from outside.
Both start with a message and end with a price. In between they're nothing alike, which is why it's worth saying which one is yours before we start.
When what's scarce is the DATE
the hotel caseThe customer's first question isn't the price, it's «is there room?». The catalog is small; the hard part is knowing what's free. Here what matters is not promising something already taken.
When what's scarce is FINDING the item
the catalog case«A 12 volt 5 amp power supply» matches forty rows of your catalog. Dates aren't the problem; the problem is finding the right one and knowing if it's in stock.
They look alike from outside and inside they're nothing alike: they share how the request comes in and how the answer goes out, but not what happens in between. That's why they're built as two pieces and not as one that half-serves both.
Which of the two are you?
If you're not sure, just tell us what your customers ask first — the price, or whether there's room — and we'll know.
