Small jobs and repeat customers
For tap, flush or leak calls, a fixed rate card works better than a quote each time. Log every call as a job so repeat customers and buildings show their history. ServicePilot's electrical and plumbing template sets up services and rates, and quotations turn into jobs. For electrical work, see the electrical work quotation format.
