Change order email
Subject: Change order — Valley Pest Control Hi Linda, Thanks for the note on: add three new city pages and a termite landing page by Friday. This work is outside our current scope agreement. I've quoted it as a change order: FEE: $1,850 TIMELINE: 7 business days from approval INCLUDES: copy, build, mobile test, one revision round Reply "APPROVED" to proceed, or let's jump on a 10-minute call if you want to phase it. — [Your name]
If they push back on price
Hi Linda — happy to phase the work: priority pages first at 60% of the quote, remainder next month. Same 7 business days from approval for phase one. Let me know which pages matter most for booked jobs.
