Not explaining the why
Two lines on symptoms and benefits do more selling than a lower price.
Promising it fixes everything
If radiators are corroded through, a flush won't save them. Say the quote covers cleaning, not failed components.
Questions

+
Most domestic systems take a day. Put your estimate on the quote.
Should I fit a filter with a powerflush?
