Sound familiar?
Customers going with the decorator who sent a detailed PDF while you sent a text with a rough number
Forgetting to charge for prep work, filling, sanding, and multiple coats
Losing track of which properties you've quoted and what stage each job is at
Spending evenings pricing up room-by-room breakdowns instead of resting
No clear record of what was included when a customer asks for extra work mid-job
Competitors looking more professional because they use branded quote documents
Jobnix fixes all of this.
