Write a quote that spells out deliverables, revisions and extras
An "extra 30-second cut" or "one more version for TikTok" adds up to unpaid days. A quote listing every deliverable, revision round and overage rate stops scope creep before it starts.
Steps
- Note the brief: filming hours, crew, kit, edit time, every deliverable (length, format, aspect ratio), and how many revision rounds.
- Run the prompt below with your prices.
- Check every line. The prices are yours.
- Send it and get written agreement before booking the shoot.
