How to write a winning quote and stand out in a side-by-side comparison

On MİTA a buyer sees up to 10 quotes side by side. Clarity, lead time and fast replies matter as much as price.

01What the buyer sees

The comparison table weighs price and lead time together; quotes on different Incoterms are flagged. Copied, template or thin quotes are flagged and shown to the buyer as well.

02Five parts of a good quote

  • Unit price and currency, Incoterms and place (e.g. FOB Mersin)
  • A realistic lead time: production plus loading
  • How the product fits the need: size, grade, certificates
  • Sample availability and terms
  • A payment proposal (e.g. 30% advance, 70% against documents)

03Speed counts

The seller score includes reply rate and speed. Quick-reply templates tailored to your own product save time without losing detail.
