How supplier wait times affect MSP account executive quote workload
When an MSP account executive in education requests a connectivity or service quote, the timer starts. Industry experience shows many suppliers take eight working hours to return a usable price. For a single AE aiming for five quotes a day, that delay means one quote is stuck in waiting while the AE moves to the next. Across a team of five, 25 quotes can sit idle each day. This is not a worst-case scenario; it is a conservative baseline our calculator uses to model sales capacity pressure for MSPs in Leeds.
