5 Tips on Good Vendor Relationships

Get to know your suppliers. Use new technology for communication, but don’t forget the personal touch of a phone conversation. Consider your vendors as a part of your team and treat them as such. Make sure they understand your needs and expectations. Show appreciation for good service or for a new product that’s just right for you. Pay on time. If you can’t, let your vendors know right away and work out a payment plan. That’s when knowing them personally will be invaluable.
