The office·Quoting and estimating·Reading the request
The RFQ is an email, three PDFs and a drawing. Get it into one place.
On the call, we would ask
- How many pieces does a typical request arrive in?
- How long before the estimator knows what is actually being asked for?
- What gets missed in the attachments: a spec, a term, a revision?
- Which requests are not worth quoting, and how soon could you tell?
Also under Quoting and estimating
- Reading the request
- Quoting from your own history
- Where a drafted quote goes wrong
