CRM, lead flow and sales techniques · Content as a sales tool

Publish a price range, and say plainly what pushes it up or down.

A price transparency page tells a buyer what your work costs in broad terms and why the figure moves. It gives a range, the factors that drive it and what is and is not included. This page covers the cost drivers, GST and freight lines, and how to publish without being undercut.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

In one paragraph

A price transparency page tells a buyer what your work costs in broad terms and why the figure moves. It gives a range, the factors that drive it and what is and is not included. This page covers the cost drivers, GST and freight lines, and how to publish without being undercut.

Half the calls a modular-kitchen studio in Hyderabad gets begin with "rate kya hai?" The honest answer is that it depends on the size, the material and the hardware, so the rep says "come to the showroom" and loses the caller who has a fixed budget. The ones who come are surprised, and the rep spends an hour on a buyer who could never afford it.

A price page does not need to list a rate card. It gives a starting figure or a range for the usual job, and then names the things that move it. A buyer can place themselves on the page before calling, and the buyers who remain are the ones whose money matches your work.

The owner decides what is published. Marketing drafts, the sales head checks that the range is one the reps would actually quote. It is a one-off job and needs a review when your costs change.

This answers the commonest question in the buyer questions bank. It is also the page where you decide how honest you will be about margin, so decide that before you write.

If you want this done for you

Every rep quotes a different price for the same job.

The work

What this is actually like.

  • “Competitors who publish prices set the buyer's frame”

    If another firm in your city shows a figure, buyers compare your silence against it, and silence reads as expensive. You do not have to match them. You have to say enough that your range can be compared in a fair way.

  • “The range is for filtering, not for closing”

    Reps spend time on callers with the wrong budget. A page that says jobs start from a figure sends those callers elsewhere politely, so the calls you take are worth the time. Count the calls you stop taking as a gain.

  • “Name the drivers, not just the number”

    Size, material, location, urgency, quantity, customisation, installation. The two or three that move your price most go at the top, each with a plain sentence: a corner site costs more because of the lift charges. Buyers accept a high price when they can see the reason.

  • “Inclusions decide whether the figure is true”

    A figure without GST, freight or installation is read as the total. Say on the page whether the figure includes GST, freight, installation and payment charges. A buyer who finds out later has stopped trusting the rest.

What we do

What you end up with.

The documents this topic produces, what each one is for, and how you know it is finished.

  1. The price range table

    Rows for the three or four jobs you sell most, with a starting figure and an upper figure for each, and a one-line description of what a job at each end looks like. Drawn from your last twenty quotes by the owner.

    Result: Finished when the sales head confirms no recent quote falls outside the range.

  2. The cost drivers list

    The two to five factors that move a quote, each written as a sentence with a direction: more of this raises the figure, less lowers it. Includes the one the buyer controls most, such as the choice of material.

    Result: Finished when a buyer could estimate their own job's place in the range without calling.

  3. The inclusions and exclusions block

    A short block stating whether prices include GST, freight, installation, taxes and payment charges, and what is quoted separately. Where terms vary by order size, the break points are written plainly.

    Result: Finished when your accounts person agrees each line matches how you invoice.

  4. The published page and review date

    The page live on your site, a copy sent as a link to the reps, and a date in the diary for the owner to recheck the figures. Prices change with raw material, so the date is set before launch.

    Result: Finished when a rep replies to "rate kya hai?" by sending the link.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Will competitors just undercut us if we publish?
They can see your quotes already, because buyers forward them. A range does not give away your margin or your discount. If you only win on being a rupee cheaper, a hidden price will not save you.
What if every job is different?
Publish the cost drivers and a few worked examples, such as a typical small job and a typical large one. Each example names the size, the choices and the total. That serves the buyer better than a single number.
Do we have to put GST on the page?
Say plainly whether the figure includes it. How GST applies to your work is a matter for your CA, and the rules change, so confirm the wording with them. The buyer only needs to know whether to add it.
Is a price page a bad idea for some businesses?
Yes. If your price depends on negotiation between a few large buyers, or on a tender, a public range can hurt. Publish the drivers and the minimum job size instead, and keep the rate for the proposal.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes to reply time and follow-up are the quickest to show, because the enquiries already exist. Process, CRM and training changes show as the team uses them. Each one is tracked against the baseline.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
To start, last month's enquiries in any format and time with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
