Service Quote Templates: Good/Better/Best That Convert

A practical guide to building upsell-friendly quotes your clients will actually accept — faster. Includes examples you can copy.

Why Good/Better/Best Works

Three clear options reduce friction, anchor value, and make upgrades feel like a logical step rather than a hard sell. Your clients pick the package that fits — and often choose the middle or top tier when value is obvious.

  • Anchoring: The top tier sets perceived value for everything below it.
  • Clarity: Scope is explicit; fewer back-and-forth questions.
  • Self-serve upsell: Clients add options without sales pressure.

Template Structure You Can Reuse

  1. Brief project summary — one or two sentences with goal + constraints.
  2. Three packages — Good (baseline), Better (most popular), Best (premium).
  3. Optional add‑ons — small upgrades clients can toggle on.
  4. Terms — scope, timeline, payment, and guarantees.
  5. Instant acceptance — sign + pay to lock the scope.

Copy‑Ready Package Examples

Landscaping

  • Good: Lawn mow, edge, and debris removal (weekly).
  • Better: Good + shrub trim, seasonal fertilizer, bed refresh.
  • Best: Better + mulch install, irrigation tune‑up, weed barrier.

HVAC

  • Good: Single‑stage system + basic thermostat.
  • Better: Two‑stage + smart thermostat + extended warranty.
  • Best: Variable‑speed + IAQ package + priority service.

Checklist: Make Your Templates Convert

  • State the outcome first (“what they get”), not the tasks.
  • Mark the middle tier as Most Popular and show why.
  • Use plain language bullets; keep each to one line.
  • Price each tier clearly; avoid ranges on the same line.
  • Offer 2–4 add‑ons that pair naturally with each package.
  • Remove print‑sign‑scan; add e‑signature and instant acceptance.

Turn This Into A Reusable System
