Ever feel like you’re drowning in quote requests? You’re not alone. In today’s fast-paced online printing world, churning out accurate quotes quickly is crucial. But let’s be honest, the process can feel like wading through molasses uphill.
The problem? It’s not always about you needing to hustle harder. Often, the culprit is a clogged workflow, bogged down by too many steps and not enough manpower. Think about it, a single quote request can ping pong between departments – sales needs to gather details, prepress needs to assess complexity, and finally, someone has to compile it all into a clear, competitive quote.
