We have quoted several projects for customers, and we have not gotten their business. It is pretty normal, you don't always get what you bid on. I understand that part.

But, since quoting is a lot of work on our part, and I would really like to get feedback about why they chose someone else, how do I ask to get the best results?
I really just want to know for my own future knowledge so I can improve. Is it price? Delivery? Presentation?

How would you ask them to solicit feedback?

I'm 25 years old and I still don't know what I want to do with my life. I went to college, and got a general studies Assoc degree. I have a really good desk job now, that pays pretty well, but I don't know if this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I like helping people, but I don't like calling or really talking on the phone. I like working outside, in nice weather. I love to exercise, but I'm not in the greatest shape. I absolutley hate sales and telemarketing. I learn extremely fast, and have a really good memory and love to read. I'm sorta a loner, but wouldn't want to be alone all day. I type well, but would never want a receptionist type job (remember, I hate phones). I'm horrible with driving directions, and just hate driving in general. I'm a great leader. I'm good with computers, but not enough to repair or program. I'm not afraid of hard work, as I have worked in several labor intensive jobs as well. I am a girlly girl. and i don't like to touch people.

Ok I have to give some background, this is happening to a friend of mine who works for a small startup company. He's the manager for their shipping and packing needs they had a Fed-Ex account in which they got about $300 behind on. Fed-Ex also agreed to allow for monthly payments and then in a letter sharply told this small company that they had to remit payment of the balance of $300 immediately. Well the company was cash strapped and could not do this, they promptely switched to UPS and have since quit making payments to this fedex account, now Fed-Ex has hired a lawyer / collections company, who is threatening a suit if payment is not made in 30 days, will they really do this over such a small amount? (Keep in mind this lawyer is in California and my friends company is located in Georgia.)

I went through a divorce last month, and I am now 12,000 dollars in debt. I could only get 50 dollars a month from my ex which isn't much. I have 4 major bills and the highest bill is 5900 dollars, because it is a military credit card and I am not in the army anymore they are saying to my credit counseling service that they will be taking all my taxes. My ex husband sold all my furniture and I have nothing left, with a 300 dollar car that won't make it through the winter. I have a 1 year old son and have no home of my own and have been sleeping on my moms couch for over a year now. I can't even pay 30% for low income housing because I don't make that much money. I am with two different credit management programs. one suppose to be settling 3 of my debts and my military starz card is with a different credit agency called fisc, and they are saying that my starz card will just take taxes, the other credit service doesn't seem to be doing much because i keep getting interest on these card.

I live with a woman who is my best friend in a totally platonic relationship; we're like brother and sister. In fact I refer to her AS my sister and she calls me her brother. I have placed her as the benificiary on my life insurance policies. Now, I have blood siblings (1 sister, 2 brothers), but, for the most part we're not at all close. I want to make sure my friend has no problems with them in the event of my death, as I'm sure she and my new extended family will most likely take responsibility for my burial.

I found a local number in Renton, WA, but it seems to be a false lead or just a mailbox.

I was just wondering do you think its a good idea for women to be auto body technicians working on collision and paint repair. Do you think it is to hard for a women to do this job because of so many men that do it?

I recently posted a message regarding my problem with Welcome finance. Anyway I would like to know if it is possible to get an advance/loan of £1,000 in week even with bad credit including having my house repossessed. I would also like to know as a keyworker in London, will I still be able to get a mortgage with my poor credit report. There are new homes coming up for sale in South London in about a couple of months, on a part rent and part buy scheme. If I can't get a mortgage is there anything I could do to get myself back on the property ladder?
