Quote Chaser
A lightweight tool that reminds a business owner when a quotation needs a follow-up.
Customer
Freelancers and small service businesses
Problem
Small businesses often send quotations and then rely on memory, spreadsheets or inbox searches to follow them up. Potential work is lost because the next action is unclear or delayed.
Proposed product
A simple quotation tracker that records the value, customer, sent date and expected decision date, then recommends a polite follow-up and records the outcome.
Why now
Freelancers and small businesses are under more pricing pressure and can't afford to lose quoted work to a missed follow-up.
Smallest useful version
Manual quote entry, follow-up date, reminder email and a small pipeline showing awaiting response, won and lost.
Potential ways to charge
- Low-cost monthly subscription
- Per-user small-business plan
- Bookkeeper or agency partnership
Routes to early customers
- Freelancer communities and forums
- Bookkeeper and accountant referral partnerships
Main risks
- Owners may already track quotes informally and resist a new tool
- Low willingness to pay at small scale
Questions to test first
- Ask twenty freelancers how they currently follow up quotations and measure whether they will upload or manually enter five live quotes.
