A 12 minute call with a factory floor manager reset my whole pricing idea
Talking to a guy who runs a small stamping shop in Warren, he said my per-unit price was fine but my minimum order was scaring off the exact shops I wanted. He told me, 'you're not selling parts, you're selling a smaller first batch,' and that made me rethink every quote I've sent this year. Has anyone else adjusted their minimums and seen a real shift in who reaches out?

and it's funny because that same logic shows up everywhere once you start looking. I noticed it with my kid's soccer signups, the rec league had a minimum of ten players per team and half the parents bailed. They dropped it to six and suddenly everyone's in, same fee, same season, but the smaller commitment felt doable. Your floor manager basically told you people don't fear the price, they fear the promise of a big order they might not fill. That's a real thing in a lot of markets, not just parts. Makes me wonder how many businesses are losing customers just by asking for too much upfront without even realizing it.
