How to Respond to a Quote Request as an Agency

Overview

To process partner orders as an agency, you must be logged into Zift123 with an agency account. The orders menu will be empty if partners have not submitted orders to your agency.

Partners submit orders to agencies for marketing services in Zift123. These orders are visible on the Manage Orders page.  This is the default page for agency users upon logging in.

Agencies offer marketing services in response to partner requests. These services are available in two formats:

  • Open ended, where the the partner makes a specific request/order and the agency provides a quote for the order or declines (rejects) to provide a quote. In this instance there is discussion between the partner and agency as to the services provided and their costs.
  • Flat fee, where the agency has a specific service they are offering for a specific price.

In response to partner requests for services, the agency may provide a detailed quote about services offered, associated costs, quote expiration date, and project completion date. The agency can use the order to communicate with the partner about the services provided as the project progresses. The order might pass between the partner and agency several times with various statuses until the order is agreed on.
