Before you approve an RFQ.
Jeet uses a knee-support enquiry to show how much a product name leaves unresolved. Material, design, packing and destination requirements shape the specification. Clarifying those decisions before requesting a price gives the buyer a stronger basis for comparing supplier responses.
