Hi Sam, are you having a good Day?

Yeah, other than a couple of work issues I am trying to resolve...How about you?? Any plans today??

I was up north for 4 days, today is just to rest.

I do believe you have it right.

 

[SEIndSAM]

I got busy with work there for awhile...

 

[GregD]

Sam we have just lost a lot of players.

 

[SEIndSAM]

Yep, this thread is alot slower during the day than it used to be.....

 

[SEIndSAM]

I am starting to get irritated with a coworker. I need a spreadsheet he has to finish a quote for a HUGE customer. He told me last Thursday that he already had the info I needed and would send it to me.
Today I have left him a VM, sent him a text message and an email that I really needed the spreadsheet. Also, my Boss is at the plant and I asked him to remind the guy.

Still nothing.....

 

[SEIndSAM]

I need to get the quote in today or tomorrow and I am at a stand still until I get this info...

 

[GregD]

Any luck getting a reply?

 

[SEIndSAM]

Nope, still waiting...Hate to call the Boss again about it, but if I don't have it by 4.30 I will have to. They knock off at 5.00

I'm surprised that the boss didn't get him moving.

Prob walked back into the plant after our conversation, something broke and he forgot???

But yeah, I'm surprised too. I have a big customer that today only carries 2 of my products. He is interested in expanding the line to 10 items....BIG money if that happens....I had to get approval from the boss because he is going to have to buy 2 more extruders to make it happen. Prob 200-250K investment...

Very good luck with the call!

Very good luck with the call!

Boss already said he would spend the money, but I can't do the quote until I get this spreadsheet. It has the product weights and the amount of time it takes to make one piece. I need this info to figure the cost. I can't do a quote if I can't nail down how much it costs to make each piece...

 

[SEIndSAM]

Well, I could....But I would like to make the Boss a couple of bucks on the deal....
