4 Weeks to Take Control of Your Machined Parts Sourcing

Learn how to break down costs, create clean RFQs, and negotiate with confidence - even if you're stuck in firefighting mode.

Why This Program Exists - Built by Practitioners, Not Academics

Most buyers handling machined parts are thrown into the deep end - no real training, no structure, and no time.

This program gives you the tools and education that actually work: to challenge prices, clean up RFQs, and stop chasing suppliers at the last minute.

If you handle machined parts sourcing: this Program is built for you.

Tired of RFQs going nowhere and supplier quotes that make zero sense?

💸 Every supplier sends a different price.
€12, €19, €26 - same drawing, same specs. No logic. No explanation.

📉 Your RFQs get ignored, misunderstood, or botched.
Half the part quoted. Wrong material. Missing tolerances. Now what?

🤯 Nobody ever explained what drives price.
“Tolerances.” “Setup time.” “Depends on the supplier.” Translation: nobody knows — and now it’s your problem.

🍌 You’re stuck comparing apples to bananas.
Every quote is formatted differently. You waste hours making sense of chaos.

😶 You can’t push back - because you don’t know what’s fair.
Try to challenge pricing? You get blank stares or corporate waffle.

🙅 Internal help? Forget it.
Everyone’s too busy - or just vague. You’re on your own.

🔧 It’s not your fault.

But it is your responsibility - and this program shows you exactly how to fix it.

Why This Feels So Hard

You're expected to manage costs, negotiate smartly, and look like you know what you’re doing - but no one gave you the tools, logic, or structure to actually do it.

So what happens? You’re guessing. Reacting. Drowning in inconsistent quotes. And hoping you don’t screw it up!

That’s the truth, and no one talks about it - This program does.

This Is for You If You…

 🔩 Source machined or technical components

📨 Are stuck forwarding emails and chasing suppliers

💸 Want to push back on prices - but don't know how

📈 Want to grow, even if your company offers no real training

What you will learn - Week by Week

🧩 Week 1: Understand cost structures in machined parts

📝 Week 2: Build RFQs that get clean quotes

⚡ Week 3: Handle spot quotes & unplanned requests

🔍 Week 4: Templates, audits, and supplier feedback

I built this course for one reason:

To help you stop wasting time on supplier guesswork.

If you're quoting machined parts without a system - you're not alone.

Every day, I hear the same story: inconsistent quotes, vague supplier feedback, and no real way to push back.

I’ve spent 30+ years analyzing real RFQs, quote traps, and cost drivers most buyers never get taught.

I built this course so you don’t have to figure it out the hard way.
