AI writes my job quotes now. Won 3 out of 4 jobs last month.

Honestly I was sceptical. I'm a landscaper not a writer and my quotes used to be pretty basic. Just a list of what I'd do and the price. My brother said try ChatGPT for writing them. I thought he was taking the piss. Tried it anyway. Gave it the details of a job โ€” what the client wanted, what I was going to do, how long it'd take, cost breakdown. Asked it to write a professional quote. What came back sounded like I actually knew what I was talking about lol. Proper intro about understanding their vision, detailed scope of work, clear payment terms, even a note about my experience with similar gardens. Sent it. Got the job. Client said "your quote was the most professional of the three we received." I've been doing this for every quote since. Takes me 10 mins now instead of 45. And I'm winning more jobs than before. Only thing I do is check the numbers because AI can't do that bit โ€” the pricing is still 100% me.
