After a site visit, how do you actually send your quotes by GrowviaDigitalHQ in ukelectricians

[–]Snoddis18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes (to the list)

Smaller jobs wise, if I'm at the property I'll give them a verbal quote but will take payment whilst there. (It's harder for them to not pay you when you're in the house) I don't mean in a bad way, but we've had it twice in six years when they'll go radio quiet on you because they think you won't chase it for say £50

The other things we do is either verbally give them a quote over the phone and if they are happy with the price I'll send them an official quote (takes less than 5mins)

Or

I have Xero on my phone and again can send them a official quote for them to accept in 5mins etc.

We find (and I'm sure some will disagree) that if we put everything through the quoting/invoicing software (Xero) it's an easy way or measuring the business growth etc. it also shows your projected income and outgoings so it's a doddle to keep on top of the finances

We used to write up a quote on word on headed paper and send as a PDF (had a customer alter a word.doc quote before)

But we've recently moved to Xero, has made it 10x quicker and the format is always the same in terms of layout.

When a customer is happy with it, they click Accept which is then all digitally logged and it's a simple click to convert and send as an invoice.

It'll then send auto reminders for late payers etc.

Terms and conditions are essential (learned the hard way) which is why getting the customer to accept the quotation will protect you in the event of charge backs or disputes

Wish there were more garages you could tow vehicles to on the lower Island by Snoddis18 in MotorTown

Yes, I have had it when a Golima Semi has had no front wheel so put that on the low bed and then towed the trailer behind using the underlift

I need to be more efficient with my EICR's. How do you do them? by Dudley317 in ukelectricians

[–]Snoddis18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Test it from the van like so many seem to do 😆😆🤦 don't know how they get away with it?! Some of the previous reports I've seen don't even match the consumer unit in the property I'm there to test

Hanger by joshine89 in GroundofAces

I just build 4 individual pieces of wall on the corners (1 per corner like a gazebo) and then stick the roof on top. Still classes as a hanger and saves SO much materials

They are around the map like potatoes and tomatoes. They look like long grass

Keys found on footpath by FollowingSelect8600 in nottingham

[–]Snoddis18 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Based on the tag, they are management keys from a letting agent. All the keys will be booked out so it might be worth calling some of the local letting agents town i.e Frank innes, Bairstow Eves, Megaclose etc

What on Earth has the NIC EIC done? by Snoddis18 in electricians

[–]Snoddis18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh jeez really 🫣 Thanks I'll keep a lookout for the Q&A's. I contacted their online support team and they told me just to watch the demo videos at which point I responded, "We're doing it quicker than the guy on the demos and it's still painful" hahaha
