Of course the entire back of the proposal states conditions, payments, our responsibilities, waivers, etc.

I love this estimate, especially all the fine print and disclaimers. Lol http://www.arboristsite.com/attachment_22488.php
Alanarbor, that's way too much. Color photographs on the estimate of the work to be done? I guess it's feasable

Nice compliment, Blaster.

I have thought of the blank space and remain undecided. Like the others, I simply state where the tree is located and the DBH. If I get theopportunity, I also will physically mark the the tree with either red or green ribbon to signify trim or removal.
Again, the blank space is worth considering.

Mench's would then look something like this:?
Yours is a 3-part carbonless, yes?

let's see if this site can handle excel files. I made another one, that is QUITE different, but should be more easily customized.

You can convert to a Btmp in MS Paint. I goobered mine up in conversion but it can be done.

That's what I did with the first one....I made it a .jpg. http://arborist.************/attachment.php?attachmentid=22444&stc=1
I was hoping to post one that people could open in excel (or publisher) and easily modify/customize.
Who knows a site where I can post an excel or publisher doc?

How long did it take for your form to evolve? I mean, you didn't sit down and create that work of art in a single evening, did you? I think your bid sheet has it's own story to tell.
$125 seems like a lotta dough, but these, as Ekka states, are your marketing and sales tools. 500 of them would last me about a year or better. A year's worth of marketing and sales for the cost of about two hours of labor, not even worth the time to price shop.
The whole key is to sink the time into creating the bid form as you like it, so you feel good about handing them out to the prospective clients. You will write thousands of these over the course of years and like our thread starter believes, you want to start out on a strong and positive note.
By the way, Mench, I dig your tag line in a big way....
Nick, thanks for the downloadable, editable form. I think a guy could slap his name on the top, order, say, 50 of them (it'll be pricier than the larger quantity, for sure) and 'test drive' them for a month or two. Good way to get your feet wet without committing to a dive in the deep end.
