How We Estimate the Cost of Quote Delays
Our calculation is simple and transparent. We assume an account executive handles 5 supplier quotes per day, with each requiring an 8-working-hour wait – a cautious figure that reflects typical supplier turnaround, not worst-case delays. Based on an hourly baseline of GBP 12.71 and a 5-day week, the time spent waiting adds up quickly. This estimate is designed to give MSPs a starting point for understanding the operational drag on their education procurement process.
