Resulting State

Below Floor

16% off the top = 50% profit erased. You're now $240 below your protected floor.

Why This Matters

Small discounts, big damage

A 5-8% discount can wipe out 15-30% of your profit. The discount looks small, but the margin damage is not.

Reps see %, not profit

Your estimator sees "8% off" but doesn't see "$1,920 profit gone" or "buffer cut to $1,680." Visibility prevents silent margin giveback.

Floor before you agree

Teams need to know the floor impact before saying yes to price concessions. One check now prevents margin erosion across every job.

Quoteloc helps commercial contractors quote from the right cost basis, protect the floor, and stop silent margin giveback across every quote your team sends.
