how to say when you want to make someone work faster?

Question

For example, you are waiting for an estimate of your order from company A, but the staff in company A is waiting for A's boss to confirm the estimate as well. You want to say to the staff  "please push your boss to confirm the estimate ASAP." In this situation, what is a common expression to make the staff proceed with the estimate? Or how would you say your underling to get a certain job done asap?

You should say nothing: the other company's procedures are none of your business!

'Underling' is a disrespectful term. I can see that you have a poor business attitude, not a deficiency in English.
To your subordinate, you can say, 'Please get this job done as soon as possible because [a good reason]'.

That is rude and unbusinesslike.

Could you please expedite the request? We are under great pressure from our manufacturing facility to procure the raw materials and need to estimate our costs of production. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

AnonymousOr how would you say your underling

Underling is insulting and rude.

If you are a manager, a subordinate is someone who reports to you. But it's better to refer to a subordinate as a member of the team. It will improve morale if you treat them as someone important.
