I have tried it.
It was a waste of my time and money
In my opinion, the people that post jobs there have no intention of awarding the job. Thye are using your experience and labor to cost their jobs, and/or to take that info to the shops that ARE doing the work as leverage for a lower price.
I normally win about 40% of the jobs I quote. I know how to get work. Been doing this for years. I have never won a contract from MFG Quote and I have never won one here either. This is not saying anything neg at all about this site. But it does speak to the folks that post jobs on this type of site.
You want work? Go pound the streets. Go build solid relations with other shops. My shop is in a small town. There are I believe 4 shops with CNC in the entire county and very little industry, yet I am going to pay cash for a new Mori CNC 4 axis lathe in a couple months. We are thriving, because we have built some solid relationships with other companies. |
