A Day Of Great Expectations
The title for this post actually comes from Bill, one of my wonderful production managers with ZibTech Computers. Given the subject matter, I think you'll all agree that the title is about as perfect as perfect can be..
A few of my loyal readers have noticed that my updates recently have been few and far between. Though I do feel bad for neglecting my blog, the nature of this lapse in blogging is more than worth the bad feeling. ZibTech Computers was recently asked to bid on a contract with a company in London who is/was asking for 15,000 computers.
The multi-million dollar contract, is a huge deal for me and my little 8 year old company. When we were first asked about the bid, we were a bit timid about putting a quote out. After a few days of discussion and planning though, we came to the realization that with the right ingredients, this bid was not only possible for us, it was perfect for us.
The entirety of ZTC has been flying around since then planning this and that should we get the bid. Our bid price has been finalized, and a sample unit is on its way to the buyer. The day the sample unit arrives is the so called "Day of Great Expectations". We are all aware that we have not yet won the bid, and could still very easily lose it, but it is quite clear that we are the #1 bidder and that we have a better chance than anyone at the moment.
Should this bid go through, it will certainly change my life, not to mention the lives of those people who I employ. Either way, it's shown us some things about our company structure and personnel that are very emboldening. Should we lose the bid, we'll begin an aggressive marketing campaign (within our budget of course) to start pumping the company into a production mode. Should we win the bid...
If we win the bid, I expect you all to come see us in our new office/warehouse sometime in the near future. ;)
