I'm curious how do you guys handle quotes? I'm fairly new to running my own business.
- I receive quite regularly quote requests where they ask to specify the cost for each part.
For example the customer has 15 different parts which needs to be machined. They want to know the cost of every single part.
So they can go shopping and let me make part x and make the rest of the parts somewhere cheaper.
- How do you handle customers that come straight up with "I always make my parts in China. But how much do you charge to make this? I need the parts yesterday already". And what about customer that are trying to negotiate about the quote?
