Some of the many reasons : Before you create a quote, you need to have build at least a minor relationship with your prospect. You need to have talked with the buyer and he/she needs to feel that you understand the needs. Once you have made that connection, you already made a big step. Also, a 'quote writer' would need to understand your business, the business of the prospect, the project and very important : the objectives the prospect is trying to reach with the project. Quite difficult to outsource to a service, altough I like the idea! I don’t think a service like that can help you to win more business.
