Who This Is For and When It Pays Off
This task is designed for sales teams, small business owners, and freelancers who regularly receive multiple customer requests requiring tailored quotes. It is ideal for businesses that handle frequent or bulk inquiries where manual quote generation is time-consuming and error-prone.
It pays off when you want to speed up turnaround times, ensure pricing accuracy by referencing your up-to-date price list, and present quotes that look professional and consistent. The task suits users who maintain their requests and pricing in digital spreadsheets.
How the Katteb Agent Prepares Quotes Step by Step
The agent signs into your preferred spreadsheet platform (Google Sheets, Excel Online, or similar) to access the request list and price list you provide.
It reads each customer request, identifying the products or services required along with any quantities or specifications.
The agent cross-references this data with your official price list to determine accurate pricing per item.
For each request, it calculates totals, applies any discounts or taxes you specify, and formats the pricing details clearly.
The agent creates a professional quote document for each request, using either a pre-designed template you supply or a standard template optimized for clarity and professionalism.
It compiles all quotes as individual files or a consolidated package, depending on your preference, and prepares them for sending via your chosen platform (email or file export).

What a Good Result Looks Like
You receive individually prepared sales quotes for each request on your list, fully priced and formatted for professional presentation.
The quotes reflect your pricing accurately, including any applicable discounts and taxes, reducing the need for manual adjustments.
Delivery time for this task is typically between 10 to 30 minutes depending on list size and complexity, suitable for about ten requests in a single run.
Quotes are delivered as PDFs or editable files according to your template preferences, allowing you to review or directly send them to clients.
The summary report clearly tracks which requests were quoted and includes links or files for easy access.
What to Expect and What Is Not Promised
The agent requires your spreadsheets and any templates or settings to be clearly structured and accessible; inaccurate or incomplete data may lead to errors in quotes.
While the agent automates quote preparation, final review is recommended to ensure all client-specific conditions or negotiations are correctly represented.
Sign-in access must be provided by you each session, and the agent respects platform rules and limits regarding data access and automation.
Complex pricing scenarios involving conditional logic beyond straightforward lookups may require additional setup or manual intervention.
The task does not include direct negotiation or follow-up communication with clients; it prepares quotes ready for your sending or review.
Questions people ask
Can the agent handle discounts or special pricing conditions?
Yes, provided the discount rules or conditions are clearly specified beforehand, the agent applies these during the quote calculation. Complex conditional pricing may require detailed instructions or manual setup.
What file formats are the quotes delivered in?
Quotes are typically delivered as PDF files for professional presentation, but editable formats such as DOCX or XLSX can be used if you provide a custom template.
How does the agent access my price and request lists?
The agent signs into your spreadsheet platform such as Google Sheets or Excel Online using your credentials and fetches the provided spreadsheets directly.
Is it possible to automatically send the quotes to clients?
The task can prepare quotes for sending and can integrate with your email platform if you provide access, but you should review them before sending to ensure accuracy.
What happens if the request list contains items not listed in the price list?
The agent will flag unmatched items in the summary report, so you can review and provide pricing or decide how to proceed before finalizing quotes.
