Customers might be more likely to accept your bid if you use an exact price.

They attempt to haggle you down another $500.

What would happen if you quoted them a price of $5,180?

I bet your client would be happier.

A specific number has greater meaning because it looks like you calculated your cost exactly.

$5,180 looks like an unrounded number with no padding.

It’s quirky for sure, and it’s no guarantee you’ll get the job.

If someone else quotes $5,000, the customer might go with the lowest bid.
