lads just wondering the different ways you all give customers a price.. what do you recommend is the best way? ive worked for different lads in the past, some who write a price on a business card, some that just say a price and the customer will write it down etc etc...

give it over the phone and if they agree type it up.

I either go prepared with a quote already typed out and just write the price in or I will email them one over.

usually write it on a business card then put it in my phone as well

most people these days have email

type up quote ---save to a folder called "quotes" on computer

email copy to customer
