If you’ve ever quoted a job and seen the customer’s face twist in confusion (or worse, suspicion), you know how quickly a sale can go sideways.
Pricing that feels uncertain…. hourly rates, “ballpark” guesses, or techs calling the office for every little add-on kills trust. And when trust is gone, the sale follows.
That’s where Flat Rate Pricing comes in. And with AirMatch, it’s not just flat rate… it’s smart flat rate.
Why Customers Love Flat Rate Pricing
It’s simple: no one likes guessing what the bill will be.
When customers see one clear price for a service, they feel confident moving forward. There’s no, “Well, it depends on how long it takes” or “We’ll have to see once we get into it.”
Flat rate pricing:
-
- Removes the surprise factor
- Builds confidence in your business
- Makes the decision faster
In the customer’s mind, it’s fair, transparent, and final.

Why Technicians Sell More With It
Technicians aren’t salespeople, they’re problem solvers. But even the best tech can get stuck when they don’t know the exact price for an add-on or repair.
With AirMatch Flat Rate, that barrier disappears.
Our built-in price book includes:
-
- 2,400+ services already preloaded
- 11,000+ items including parts, accessories, and extras
- The ability to customize pricing to match your market and margins
That means your techs can:
-
- Offer additional services on the spot
- Never call the office for a price check
Upsell without feeling “salesy”
Consistency Builds Trust (and Bigger Tickets)
When every tech quotes the same way, customers see you as professional and organized. They’re not hearing one price from one person and a different price from another.
Flat rate also makes it easier to add profitable extras like IAQ products, extended warranties, or maintenance agreements without slowing down the sales process.
An Example in Action
Picture this:
A tech is doing a seasonal tune-up and spots a small issue that could turn into a big problem. Without flat rate, they might:
-
- Skip mentioning it because they’re unsure of the price
- Give a vague estimate and risk sticker shock later
With AirMatch Flat Rate, they can:
-
- Show the customer the exact cost instantly
- Explain the benefit
- Close the add-on right there on the spot
The customer gets peace of mind. The company gets more revenue. Everybody wins.
Why AirMatch Flat Rate Is Different
Sure, you could buy a standalone price book. But AirMatch takes it further:
- Fully integrated with your proposals — no switching apps
- Customizable margins so you stay profitable on every job
- Real-time updates so price changes from your vendors don’t catch you off guard
It’s not just a list of prices. It’s a sales tool that works in the real world, in real time.
The Bottom Line
Flat rate pricing is one of the easiest ways to sell more without lowering your price.
With AirMatch, you get the transparency customers want, the consistency your techs need, and the profitability your business deserves.
