Oh! Crys Chris - when we get the software - I have two-to-four people at any one time pricing jobs. I also price out of my home studio. Do we have to go all multi-licence with this, or can I just load the dang thing on the different computers. We are networked, except for my home studio, so we could work that way as well.

Tom

Everything is variable.  You can price the countertop by the square foot and the splash by the linear foot and the edge by the linear inch, etc.  This is variable by product/brand too.  Some customers when they start out aren't really sure what they want, so we ending up adding three "products" of the same brand, so they might have something like "Zodiaq 1, Zodiaq 2, and Zodiaq 3" for example. while they figure out what they like.  For the Webinar I actually have a slide that has a categorical breakdown of some of the options.

Robert, QuickQuote can work for almost anything anything that comes in a sheet.   The shop for which it was originally designed does Post Form, Laminate, Butcher Block, Solid Surface, and Engineered Stone, and they quote all of it from QuickQuote.  I even have a customer waay across the way in Australia using materials that I've never even heard of and in metric too.

It would probably be good if we're going to continue this discussion to create a QuickQuote thread so that we don't hijack the Webinar thread any more than it is, and it'll help consolidate the answers I'm giving you all so I don't get carpal tunnel answering the same questions repeatedly.   I know we had one in the Business 101 section going, but I imagine it would be better suited to the ETSS section.

Kevin,
I hope you see this in time.

I registered from my shop for the webinar, but I will be working out of the home studio on Thursday. Can I re-register from the house?

Tom

Kevin may have a better answer for you Tom, but in case he doesn't happen by before this afternoon, I believe you can log-in/register from any computer at any time up to and during the event.

Kevin or who ever can help,

   I signed up for the webinar, but now will not be able to watch do to schedule changes. Will we be able to watch it later like we could the template one or was that only if we saw it the first time?

Wish me luck with my boys baseball team in the tournament. We play at 4:30 today and we are in the championship bracket so we are gauranteed 4th place. I must say as a caoch I am proud of theses 9 -10 year olds, we only one one game in regular season, but come crunch time they have sent home the numer 3 and 6 seed. Just hope they keep playing like they know how to win.

Sorry just had to add that.

Reuben

Thanks, Chris, I will try to log in. I'll be the guy asking the annoying questions.

Reuben,
Good luck with the game, coach. You have your priorities straight.

That one I can actually answer for certain!  Yes, it's going to be up just like the Digital Templating one available to view at a later time.

Good luck with the tournament!

Just got home from the tournamnet and pizza afterwards. Curious as to how the webnar went and will a notice be sent out to let us know when and where we can view it again?

Reuben

Ooops. Spent all day in the truck. I hope it is available after the fact.

 

Chris

I own Moraware, but I was still going to check it out.  I just got busy and couldn't make it.  Like to hear how it went.

Well, from a presenter's perspective (mine anyway), it went quite well.  We had a little trouble at the beginning because up here we were in the midst of a very significant electrical storm and that was wreaking havoc with my phone, computer, microphone, etc.  Not to mention it's...interesting trying to maintain your composure when sudden loud cracks of thunder shake the building you're in. We also got pretty lucky here as no more than 5 minutes after everything wrapped up, lightning hit the building and the power went out.   So when you're looking for software, keep in mind I'm willing to risk potential lethal electrocution to bring mine to you!  

When I went to check how it came out this afternoon, the page that came up stated that it will be up sometime tomorrow (Friday) around 4ish for people who want to view it still.

I had to pick my daughter up from womyn's camp and missed it. I'm sorry that I did.

I'll check out the replay as soon as it's up.

"There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order to things." - Niccolo Machiavelli

 

I love that quote. Very true

'Tis indeed.

For anyone interested, the Webinar is now available to watch at the same address you would've been given for the registration.

What address is that?

As Chris pointed out, the Webinar is availabe in our archives. You can find it here: https://event.on24.com/eventRegistration/EventLobbyServlet?target=registration.jsp&eventid=56440&sessionid=1&key=74A6F5BA394B27DA15AF2414ABC5DC8A&sourcepage=register -- If you already registered, you can just put in your e-mail address and it will take you to the archive. If not, you will need to register to view it.

Thanks for all who attended or are viewing it after the fact. As Chris mentioned, the first minute or so of his presentation is a bit hard to hear because of the storm on his end, but we correct the problem pretty quick.

Best,

Kevin
