Quoting Service or Maintenance Plans

There are many ways to structure and quote Service Plans or Maintenance Contracts. The following tutorial is based upon three plans, which we call the Win, Place and Show Plans. Of course, you may use whatever name is appropriate for your business.

 

Win Plan ~ includes Parts and Labor

Place Plan ~ includes Labor Only

Show Plan ~ excludes Parts and Labor, but the customer is assured that you will respond according to an agreed response time-line.
