## Prompt

```text
Help me price my local service and create a quote template.

**Service and typical jobs:** [e.g. "standard and deep cleans for 2-4 bedroom homes"]
**Time per typical job:** [HOURS, including setup and cleanup]
**Supplies per job:** [COST]
**Travel:** [average drive time and distance; service area]
**Overheads per month:** [insurance, phone, software, vehicle, marketing]
**What I want to earn per hour, after costs:** [AMOUNT]
**Local competitor prices (if known):** [RANGE, or "not sure"]
**Previous step (optional):** [PASTE my licensing and insurance checklist, so those costs are counted]

Do this:
1. Calculate the real hourly cost, including unpaid travel and admin time, and the minimum job price I should accept.
2. Recommend a pricing structure that fits the service (flat rate by job size, hourly with a minimum, or tiered packages) and show prices for my typical jobs.
3. Add rules for travel fees or service zones, extras and add-ons, rush jobs, and recurring-client discounts.
4. Write a quote template: customer details, job description, what's included and excluded, price, deposit, validity date, cancellation and rescheduling terms, and how to accept.
5. Write a short script for giving a price over the phone and handling "that's more than I expected."

Show the math in a table. Mark any market price I didn't give you as [CHECK LOCALLY] instead of guessing.
