This week's feature:

Ideas worth considering and trying in your business:

- Your customer needs a quote now. Typically the first one back with an estimate can win the bid. 

- Don't take a job just for the sake of taking it. Make sure it's not only profitable, but that it's profitable enough.

- Make sure you are charging for extras like finishing, add-ons and waste.  

How can Control help?

Estimate fast.  Accurately estimate the price and cost of a job in seconds.  Make sure there’s enough estimated margin before sending the quote.  See the parts you’ll have to order before setting a due date.  Have the quote in the customer’s email before they hang up the phone.
