• Provide ongoing margin analysis, quote-to-order conversion metrics, and variance reporting for leadership review
• Implement tools and dashboards for monitoring quote volumes, hit rates, and profitability by customer, product line, and salesperson
• Support the development and enforcement of pricing strategy, including escalation review processes for competitive or high-value bids
• Educate team members on balancing competitiveness with profitability through informed pricing decisions
• Establish and enforce consistent quoting and documentation standards to ensure accuracy and compliance with customer and company requirements
• Maintain process flow documentation covering RFP acknowledgment and communication, vendor engagement and pricing protocols, internal resource coordination and lead-time, quote preparation, review, and approval, ISOTIF quote submission, follow-up and feedback capture
• Drive the use of CRM, ERP, and quoting systems (e.g., SAP, Epicor, Salesforce, or BidMan) for all sales activity tracking
• Audit quotes for completeness, compliance, and accuracy, ensuring professional and consistent customer-facing documentation
• Maintain strong relationships with key customer contacts, project managers, and procurement personnel
• Ensure every quote is followed up with customers to confirm receipt, clarify questions, and capture feedback or next steps
