English - "get our ducks in a row"


I encountered the following sentence today:
Please call me as soon as possible so I can work with you to equip the customer with questions and get our ducks in a row.
Meaning for "get our ducks in a row" from the dictionary:
Complete one's preparations, become efficient and well organised. This synonym for get one's act together probably alludes to lining up target ducks in a shooting gallery.
lang; 1970s
