One might say: Giving a quotation is such a simple thing. We do it so many times in a day!
Even in my sleep I can give a quotation for an air-conditioner...
But it is not true!!
One has to think deeply before giving a quotation:
(1) To whom are we giving the quotation.
(2) At what rate did we supply to the same party recently?
(3) What are our competitors likely to charge?
(4) Are they regular buyers?
(5) How was their payments done: Very good / good / poor
(6) Distance of supply and installation locations (if known)
These are some of the things one has to give a thought and then only a
proper quotation can be given.
After giving the quotation frequent follow-up is necessary to know the
status...
