Conclusion:
RoughEst Instant Estimate Calculator is intended to improve lead quality, increasing your sales success rate. Your website is now a functional employee of your company, one that saves you time and money.
This plugin adds two instant calculators to your widgets panel:
- Cost per Square Foot
- Cost per Run
1. COST PER SQUARE FOOT CALCULATOR
- Customer enters two values
- Calculator multiplies them to get the sqft
- Multiplies that number by your cost-per-sqft
- Generates total and displays a price range
- Range is based on -/+ % of the total (ie. 60%-120%)
EXAMPLE (COST PER SQUARE FOOT):
- Customer types in ’10’ for both values
- Sqft calculator multiplies 10×10, produces 100
- Your cost-per-sqft is 100, 100 x 100 = 10,000
- 10,000 is the base number used to find the range
- Low range set to 60%, 60% of 10,000 = 6,000
- High range set to 120%, 120% of 10,000 = 12,000
- Price range displayed: $6,000 – $12,000
2. COST PER RUN (SINGLE VALUE) CALCULATOR
- Customer enters one value
- Calculator multiplies that number by your cost
- Generates total and displays a price range
- Range is based on -/+ % of the total (ie. 60%-120%)
EXAMPLE (COST PER RUN):
- Customer types in ’10’ for the single value
- Your cost-per is 100, 10 x 100 = 1000
- 1,000 is the base number used to find the range
- Low range set to 60%, 60% of 1000 = 600
- High range set to 120%, 120% of 1000 = 1200
- Price range displayed: $600 – $1200
