Enter both the internal cost and the client-facing price for each enhancement. Enhancements are custom quoted line items, not one blanket markup.
Common Enhancements
Custom Enhancement
Review the selected services, cost breakdown, suggested quote range, target quote, and margin warning before sending. This tab is internal only and should not be sent to clients.
Enter the final amount to share with the client. Leave as 0 to use the calculator target quote automatically.
Manual Quote & Operator Notes
Optional. Test a specific quote against the margin rules.
Internal Approval Request
Use this when the final quote is below the minimum, outside the recommended range, heavily discounted, or the operator is unsure how to price the request.
Change this if approval should go to another internal team member.
This is the client-facing proposal area. It does not show internal cost, margins, or approval rules. Use “Print / Save Proposal as PDF” and send the saved PDF to the client.
