How many of you ask your customers how things look to be shaping up in the next 6-8 months? Do you always get a response? Never? How pushy can you be as a supplier about getting info on upcoming projects? When you've quoted a nice job you know is going to be released soon how often do you try to contact them if they don't get back with you?
I am in the position where I have statred my own CNC machining business and am wondering what is a good way to get a feel for work to come from your current customers. I feel like it's in the best interest of both parties to be open about it so one can support the other and vice versa. If I've taken a good amount of time to quote a project I kinda expect at least a response or feed back. On the flip side you don't want to be pushy to the point you piss them off.
What say you?
