Quotation intake

Fewer follow-ups start with a clearer enquiry.

“Singapore to Sydney, 2 cubic metres, next week.” The route, volume and timing are there, but sales still needs more. Separate known details from missing fields before preparing a quotation.

How to organise an incomplete enquiry

01

Extract what is known

Keep the origin, destination, volume and intended shipping time.

02

List missing fields

Use the quotation template to ask about cargo, weight, packing, addresses and service requirements.

03

Prepare the enquiry record

Distinguish confirmed, estimated and unconfirmed fields, keeping the original message.

04

Sales checks the price

Review valid rates, surcharges and terms before sending the quotation.

Use the quotation template you already have.

01

Fields and units

Separate cubic metres, kilograms, pieces and dimensions; flag conflicting figures.

02

Rate sources

A price draft needs an approved rate table, validity and applicable conditions.

WHERE A PERSON DECIDES

Prepare the details; leave margin decisions to sales.

Discounts, special cargo, liability terms and shipping commitments need approval. Without a reliable rate source, start with enquiry preparation.
