RFP Pricing Response

Respond to RFP pricing requests with a clear rate card and assumptions.

Quick checklist

  • Include a simple rate card.
  • State assumptions and exclusions clearly.
  • Provide a usage example with totals.
  • Align pricing with your public page.
  • Keep terms consistent with legal.

Step-by-step

  1. Build a rate card with your primary unit.
  2. Add a sample monthly and annual estimate.
  3. Document assumptions for volume and usage.
  4. Confirm discount policy and approvals.
  5. Review with finance and legal before sending.

What to watch

  • RFPs that ask for hidden discounts.
  • Pricing that conflicts with public tiers.
  • Terms that create implementation scope creep.

Common mistakes

  • Sending a rate card without context.
  • Using legacy pricing in new RFPs.
  • Skipping approval for custom discounts.
