All too often the focus on the current economic background is negative. However one of the benefits emerging from the current business climate is the value that can be placed on a mutually beneficial Customer/ Supplier relationship.
As increasing numbers of business operate on a just in time inventory basis it is vital that a good understanding exists between supplier and Consumer.
In as much as a Supplier will be prepared to go the extra mile to ensure that his Buyer receives his goods on time and in good order so it behoves a Buyer to ensure that he pays as required and is not abusing the goodwill of his Supplier by “pinching” some extra period of credit.
If both parties work together in a professional and commercial manner then it will strengthen the relationship and both will emerge from the current difficult situation with a renewed confidence in each other and a better based business for the long term.
