Quote
A quote is a written offer to a buyer setting out what the company would supply, at what price and on what terms.

Explanation
A quote is not an invoice: it creates no obligation to pay and is not reported to the tax authority. It is worth giving it a validity period.
An accepted quote typically becomes an order and then an invoice; when the quote's lines match the invoice's, there is less manual work and fewer mistakes.
How HelloTeam does it
HelloTeam's Quotes module sends the quote as a link; the buyer accepts it there, and an accepted quote becomes a draft invoice in one click (with the Invoicing module).
