How to use this template

  1. Save it as a Word doc or Google Doc (so you can edit it)

  3. Save as PDF and email to the customer

Or skip the manual work and use BidBlitz to generate proposals automatically.


Why BidBlitz is better than a template

Templates are fine for occasional quotes.

But if you're quoting multiple jobs per week:

  • You're still typing the same info over and over
  • You're still saving PDFs and emailing them
  • You're still chasing customers for approvals and deposits

BidBlitz:

  • Auto-generates proposals from your inputs
  • Sends a mobile-friendly link (not a PDF attachment)
  • Includes a deposit button (Stripe integration)
  • Tracks when the customer views it
  • Automates follow-ups (paid plans)

The bottom line

Templates save time. Software saves more time.

Use the template if you're just getting started. Upgrade to BidBlitz when you're ready to scale.
