Received the Purchase Order Thursday. We bid against a Chinese company to do a mail piece for the Special Olympics. Six figure contract.
Short turnaround time with competitive pricing required.
We had an edge in that I had invented a new process years ago to do it. But the process was never appropriate to anything we were selling.
This time was different.
I bid it to make money.
Thursday night I did a press check at 1:00AM to get the parts printed.
Today, after three 16 hour days of retooling, we started the machines. A good launch.
So, for the next three months, my team has lucrative work, paychecks, and maybe I'll make enough to buy that new tractor & brush hog for the ranch.
