Cover Letter for Quotation to Client

It is a common practice for sellers to prepare a quotation for their client when their client wants to know the price of the items they want to purchase. Clients generally ask a number of sellers to write a quotation and then after careful evaluation, they choose one of the sellers to make the purchase.

The cover letter is the main part of the quotation that gives a brief introduction to the quotation document. It is not a mandatory document as many sellers send their bids without a cover letter. However, those who use this document always manage to impress their clients as the cover letter helps the clients a lot in understanding the bid in a better way.

Many times, sellers fail to win over the client because their cover letter is not good enough even if they have mentioned a good quotation. Follow the tips given below:

  1. Know the content of the letter when you write it because you cannot afford to miss anything important.
  2.  Briefly describe what the client can expect to read in the bid so that the length of the letter does not exceed one page.
  3. Don’t forget to mention the items you are going to write the quotation about.
  4. Mention the terms and conditions of buying products from you and how much time you take to send the products to your prospective clients.
