Your sales process isn't broken because you're bad at quoting.

It's broken because by the time you finish the quote you're working on, the buyer has three other quotes in hand. You don't need to be the cheapest shop. You need to be the first one in the conversation.

70%+

RFQs lost to slow response

Inbound RFQs are decided in the first hour. Most shops respond in 8–72 hours. By then the buyer has already engaged a competitor.

$80K+

The cost of hiring sales

A dedicated sales rep is $80K–$120K/yr with benefits, ramp time, and management overhead. Most small shops can't justify it.

No system

Quotes live in heads

Your pricing logic, follow-up cadence, and proposal templates exist in your head or scattered emails. Nothing scales. Nothing's measured.

Old site

Website is the weakest link

Built by a nephew or off-the-shelf template years ago. Doesn't convert. Doesn't rank. Doesn't reflect what your shop actually does today.

Quote Engine — Live race

Same RFQ. Same buyer. Watch who wins.

An aerospace bracket RFQ lands in two inboxes at 8:32 AM. One shop runs the Quote Engine. One doesn't. Watch the race play out — 31 hours compressed into 12 seconds.

Three steps. Five minutes. Zero manual work.

STEP 01

Reads the RFQ

The engine extracts part, quantity, materials, tolerances, and target lead time from inbound RFQs — email, form, or phone-to-email pipeline.

STEP 02

Responds in under 5 minutes

Branded first response in under 5 minutes. Your logo, your capabilities, your lead times — and a clear next step that moves the buyer to a conversation.

STEP 03

Hands you a warm meeting

Booking link sent, RFQ context attached, buyer already engaged. You walk in as the first responder. You close.

What is slow response costing your shop?

Drag the sliders to match your shop. The math is conservative and the assumptions are printed below it — check them yourself.

Assumption: sub-5-minute response lifts RFQ close rate by a conservative 25% relative (e.g., 20% → 25%). Industry studies on first-response advantage suggest 2–3× is possible; we deliberately model far below that. Your results depend on your traffic, pricing, and capacity.

The audit

Find out what's broken — for $499.

A real, paid audit — and you never have to sit through a pitch to start it. Buy it online, fill out a 10-minute intake, and a written teardown of your sales flow lands in your inbox within 5 business days. The only call is the walkthrough of your findings. Credits 100% to setup if you sign for any tier within 30 days.

Step 01 · Tonight, if you want

Buy + 10-min intake

Checkout online — no scheduling, no discovery call. Then a short intake form covers:

  • Your current RFQ-to-quote-to-close numbers
  • Where leads are coming from today
  • How quickly you're responding right now
  • Your top 3 competitors
  • Anything you already suspect is broken
Step 02 · Day 5

  • Estimated revenue lift if recommendations are implemented
Step 03 · Day 5–7

60-min walkthrough

Direct call with a founder — about your findings, not a pitch deck:

  • We walk the report top to bottom, fix by fix
  • What to do first, whether you hire us or not
  • What we'd build for your shop, and exact pricing
  • Sign any tier within 30 days → $499 credits 100% to setup

The questions shop owners ask first.

What if it doesn't work?

We track every metric — response time, RFQs received, close rate, pipeline volume, closed revenue. You see it monthly. If we're not driving measurable results in 90 days, cancel. No contract, no penalty.

Am I locked into a long contract?

No. Everything is month-to-month, cancel anytime. We earn your business every month. If we're not delivering measurable results, you walk. There's no contract trapping you.

Is the Quote Engine actually a bot, or does someone respond?

It's a purpose-built product that responds automatically. Initial response within 5 minutes uses your shop's branded templates, your capabilities, your standard lead times — pulled from how we configured it during onboarding. The detailed quote follows within 24 hours, prepared by you or your team with full RFQ context handed off cleanly.

My nephew can build me a website for free.

Then he should. We're not a website agency — we're sales infrastructure. The website is the foundation, but it's not the product. The Quote Engine is. If you just need a brochure site, your nephew is the right call.

What does your shop need to look like to get results?

CNC machine shop, precision shop, fab house, or engineering services firm. $1M–$25M revenue. You came from production, not pipeline — and you'd rather stay there. You're losing inbound RFQs to faster competitors, you don't have a dedicated salesperson and don't want to manage one, and you're ready to invest in infrastructure, not a $500 nephew-website. If that's not you, we're probably not your match — and we'll tell you that upfront.
