All too
often the focus on the current economic background has accentuated 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.
