I haven’t kept track of where you live, but here in Bavaria, you don’t get five contractors sending you offers to choose from... with three, you call eight times and get nothing, one sends you an offer, and another says they have no availability until 2025... and then you take the one who replies...

And at least 3-5 per trade.Competent suppliers quickly notice when someone treats "requesting quotes" like a popular pastime purely for entertainment, and are then only too polite to respond with a blunt rejection. The trade is gradually learning to distinguish between "businesspeople" and "deadbeats."https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Experienced providers quickly recognize when someone treats "requesting quotes" as a pastime for their own amusement and are then only polite enough to respond with the clearly written word "a...hole." The craft is slowly learning to distinguish between "merchants" and "blind men."Then you just have to be a bit smarter...
...I managed it too.

I would question whether it’s really “smart” to underestimate the labor time required by those preparing quotes, just to have more comparative offers to show off in a card game like skat. If we consider decadence as a sign of an empire’s decline, we might soon follow in the footsteps of the Romans.

Responding to an anonymous, generic price request with unclear prospects of winning the contract is a complete waste of time, even in difficult times.
- An exceptional project
- Setting the desired outcome while allowing freedom in execution
- Offering the chance for a truly valuable reference
- Making a personal appearance
- Being friendly and reliable
- Contacting only those who are genuinely considered
- Aiming for and communicating the best value for money or result, not the lowest invoice amount
