Thank you for quoting work with us. When a customer posts a request for quote, you can quote right on the page. And if you change your mind, you can take it back.

So what does that mean for you? No chasing a buyer's inbox. The customer sees your answers, your price and your timeline together, in one place.

Open the request, and choose Submit Your Quote. First, the customer's eligibility questions, answered yes or no. If an answer doesn't meet what they need, the page tells you before you go any further.

Next, the customer's own questions. Answer each one in your words, or press Dictate and say it. Every question needs an answer before you can send.

Then your quote. Upload your quote file, add your timeline and your price. Write a short note, and press Submit.

Changed your mind? Press Withdraw quote, and the customer no longer sees it. While the request is still open, you can quote again.

Here's what happens next. The customer reviews every quote with your answers beside it, shortlists the ones they like, and awards the work. Thank you for the work you put into every quote.

Quoting is free, and there's no risk in it, ever. On our contracts and jobs, nothing is committed until the customer clicks Hire, or the professional clicks Accept Offer. On a request for quote, nothing is decided until the customer awards it.

The old site treated a request for quote as just another contract, marked Hard Quote Work. Once you'd applied, you couldn't take your quote back. Here, a request for quote has its own page, your answers ride with your price, and you can withdraw while it's open.

Every quote, every answer, one place. This is the future of work.

Thank you for your time, and for building this network with us. So look after each other out there, and get home safe tonight. Questions? Text 586-770-8083, or email Info@AutomateAmerica.com for more information. Stay safe. Stay free. Zero friction.
