"I Want My Quote Now!", or Do’s and Don’ts in Formulating Customization Requests

Every working day we get requests from our customers that usually end with something like “Waiting for the quote ASAP!” It is fine with us when requests come well formulated, detailed, and illustrated, but what if they are not?
