Security Services Rate Sheet Template
One page that answers every pricing question a prospect will ask, so quotes stop being improvised. Rates by post type, the multipliers, the minimums, and what triggers a surcharge.
Built for PPO owners standardizing pricing across clients and salespeople. · Updated 2026-08-01
PPO #122730How to use it
- 1.Build every rate up from loaded cost per hour, not down from a competitor's number.
- 2.Publish multipliers rather than negotiating overtime and holidays case by case.
- 3.State minimums clearly — minimum hours per call-out and minimum notice for cancellation.
- 4.Date the sheet and set a review cycle tied to wage increases.
- 5.Give the sheet to everyone who quotes, so pricing is the same regardless of who answers the phone.
