All too
often the focus on the current economic background accentuates the 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.
