Kevin, I'm sure everyone does their proposal sheets a little differently. Mine has a white and yellow copy, I give the white to the potential customer. I list the items to be cleaned and if I think there will be any confusion, I list what is not included. I group items together with a price and other items with other prices. This lets the customer pick which groups of items they want to have cleaned. They don't feel forced into doing more than they want to spend. I don't list deminsions because the custmer can then call around and get other estimates on the phone because they now have MY measurements. (I like the competition, but I'm not going to do their work for them.) I do have verbage on the proposal prepared by my lawyer to protect me against slow payers or no payers. Basicly 18 % APR after 30 days and the customer agrees to pay all reasonable collection costs including attorney fees for the occasional jerk you run into. 99 % of the customers pay when job is complete or send a check a few days later. Large commercial accounts will take the full 30 days.
