How to write quotes faster with AI

Short version: feed an AI assistant your price list and a handful of past quotes, and it will draft new ones in your format in minutes. You check and send; you never start from blank.

Set it up once

Give the assistant your current price list and three or four quotes you are happy with. That teaches it your pricing, your wording and your layout.

Draft from a short brief

Describe the job in a sentence or two and ask for a quote. You get a structured draft, lines, prices, terms, to tidy rather than type.

Keep a human check

Always read the numbers before it goes out. AI is fast, not infallible, and your name is on the quote.

Then make it chase itself

A quote sent is only half the job. Set up automatic follow-ups so the ones that go quiet get nudged: see chasing expired Xero quotes automatically and how many times to chase a quote.

Quoting is one of the quickest AI wins for a trade or wholesale business. To see what else would pay for your setup, get a Grafto AI Tools Report: £59.99, a costed plan in minutes.
