“Please send us your quotation.”
That should be the easiest step.
The buyer is interested. You have the price.
And yet,a huge number of export deals go cold right here.
Not because the product is wrong.
Not because the price is high.
But because the quoting process—
takes too long,
looks unprofessional,
or just… doesn’t arrive in time.
Let’s unpack why quoting is still a bottleneck—and how smart teams are solving it with AI.
Bottleneck #1: The Format Delay
-
Sales rep finds the last quote file.
-
Edits in new details.
-
Changes buyer name, INCOTERM, product spec.
-
Rebuilds the layout.
-
Checks for typos.
-
Converts to PDF.
What should take 5 minutes takes 45.
Meanwhile, the buyer checks their inbox—and finds a faster reply from someone else.
Bottleneck #2: Lack of Clarity
Even when quotes are fast, they often miss the mark:
-
Unclear delivery timelines
-
No breakdown of unit price vs shipping
-
No visual clarity on terms or next steps
-
No CTA (call to action) at all
So the buyer has to write back:
“Can you clarify this part?”
“Do you have it in FOB terms instead?”
“How long is delivery exactly?”
Every reply you wait for is a delay that kills momentum.
Bottleneck #3: The Follow-Up Gets Lost
You sent the quote.
Now what?
-
Do you track if the buyer opened it?
-
Do you remind them if they don’t reply?
-
Do you know which version they received?
-
Do you adjust pricing or terms if they ghost?
If the answer is “I’m not sure,”
then you’re leaving deals unfinished.
