Hi,
I would like to see quotes highlighted like invoices are, so that when a quote
comes in I see that I need to act on it - I keep missing them and the sales that
go with it.

I do find value in them, so please those that hate them or wish for them to go
away, please respect this and reserve your negativity for another location and
stay away from this post - we all do business in our own way - thank you.

So it would be good that when I click on the store I get the following messages:

X orders not invoiced
x orders not shipped
x feedback not completed
x quotes not quoted

Thank you,
Kind regards,
Dave

I think it's this: Allow contact/invoices as both message and email.

Your solution is not what I am after - you expect the emails to be seen amongst
many that are received...assuming the email is actually sent and received, the
reliability of emails is at best, not!

So simply put, I want the quotes to be an actionable highlight like the invoices
are!!!!

After all BL should support this, every sale I make is money in their pocket,
versus none for every one that is missed.

Again if you are not supporting the option, and just think your quick fix will
be a solution...fluff off. BL should be thinking on ways to support and enhances
the ability for us to make a sale, and getting quotes is an important way to
be contacted by a customer.

I have made sales via quotes through BL, even when the quote itself has failed,
so they are a good help, and I get extremely frustrated when I see quotes missed,
or at least an opportunity to engage a future client, you never know when that
one client way turn out to be the best long term customer you could ever have
found. And yes they could also be the client from hell too. I choose to think
that quotes are more important than pretty pictures....interaction is more important
when you have give and take - it builds trust!
