Estimations

Estimations are draft proposals you send to leads before they become clients. Build line items, add taxes, set a validity period, and send as PDF or email.

Estimations are tied to a lead — once the lead converts to a client, the estimation history travels with them so you can reference the original quote.

Step-by-step

  1. 1
    Open the lead

    From the Leads page click into the lead you're quoting.

  2. 2
    Create an estimation

    Click New Estimation. Add line items with quantity, rate, and tax. The total updates live.

  3. 3
    Set validity and terms

    Enter how many days the estimation is valid for and any terms (deposit %, deliverables, exclusions). These appear on the PDF.

  4. 4
    Send it

    Download as PDF or email the contact directly — the email uses the Estimation email template.

  5. 5
    Convert to invoice

    When the lead accepts and converts to a client, the estimation acts as a template — generate a real invoice from it without retyping.

Tips

  • Estimations don't count toward revenue reports — they're draft until converted.
  • Multiple estimations per lead are allowed; only the accepted one converts to an invoice.
  • Use the validity period to chase prospects who go quiet — 'Your quote expires Friday' is a great nudge.

Admin configuration

  • Access groups → `leadAdd`, `leadEdit` are required to create and edit estimations.
  • Settings → Estimation template controls header, footer, signature block, and default tax rates.
