Securing freelance medical writing projects requires not only expertise but also the ability to present your services effectively to your ideal clients in the form of a quote.
Crafting compelling quotes that get accepted easily is crucial in this process. Remember, your quotes showcase your value proposition and set the stage for successful collaboration.
But quoting doesn’t have to be difficult or complex. A simple, clear email quote is all you need to engage your client with your services.
Here are several different quote templates you can use to tailor your freelance medical writing services to diverse project needs. Read on to browse the quotes, or skip ahead to the one you need right now:
When to use these quote templates
Use these quotes as the initial response to an email or LinkedIn enquiry. These quoting templates are designed to get the conversation started so you can pick up the phone and seal the deal.
After you arrange a phone call to discuss the project in more detail, you would ideally send a formal quote or a contract with the scope, terms and conditions to confirm the project. Once your client has signed your contract, you can then send a deposit invoice and get started!
1. Article rate quote template
Hi [CLIENT NAME]
Thank you for your email. I’d love to help you out with your content needs. My fee for healthcare article writing is usually $[FEE]+GST, but I offer a 10% discount for retainers and ongoing projects like yours.
All my work is fully referenced and compliant with regulations, industry standards and best practices. I include two revisions for each article and can supply the content via Word, Google Doc or another method if you prefer. I’ll include a few headline suggestions with each piece, and the content will be formatted for an online reader – including appropriate structure, subheadings, internal link suggestions and call-to-actions if necessary.
I can suggest the article topics or work with you to determine a schedule. Usually, I need 48-72 hours to turn around a piece, though for your project, we could work out an ongoing content plan so we always know what’s coming up.
Please note: The following are not in scope or included in the project fee: [LIST ITEMS OUT OF SCOPE].
Would you like to have a quick chat on the phone so we can discuss your project in more detail? I’m free today from 11am-2pm, and my number is [PHONE NUMBER].
Thanks again for your interest in my services, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Michelle
