Sometimes your customers need their quote fast—what can you do to get your quotes faster? As it turns out, there are a few things you can do to help ensure that nothing gets in the way of your quoting process. Often, your quote will arrive faster if we have more information about your order. So, how can you get your quote faster? Here’s what we need to know.
Start With Your Name, Contact Information, and Account Number
Because we work exclusively with resellers, we need to know that you’ve signed up for a Navitor account. That’s why it’s a good idea to put your account number and contact information upfront; it means that we can confirm your account quickly and ensures that we don’t need to double-check your information before getting your quote.
For an additional boost of speed, put your account number in the subject line. It’s an easy way to ensure that we get right to pricing your print products. And speaking of those products…
Product Details in Detail
What do you know about the print piece your customer needs quoted? We can give you more accurate information when you include as much information as possible, and it will cut down on back-and-forth while we try to get the specifics of your order. What information should you include?
- A basic description of the order. What products do your customers need? Do they need sales sheets? Are they looking for a custom-sized folder?
- What quantity?
- What is the finished size of the piece?
- Does your customer want a stock from our standard selection, or are they looking for a custom-ordered stock?
- What type of print do your customers need? Do they need spot color print? Full color? Are they looking for a specialty process like enhanced finishes?
- Does your customer need bleeds?
- Will the piece feature single-sided or double-sided print?
- Does your customer want a proof? Will digital work best, or do they want a press proof?
This list can seem like a lot of information, but it really does allow us to create a better and more accurate quote.
