It is a very important question. Everyone wants to do business with more loyal and more powerful partners. Especially for international trading business, good supplier means stable product quality, competitive price, and better delivery time.
So how to distinguish between good and bad suppliers?
In short, it is to see if he can deliver on his promises over time.
- Whether the price he promised would change at will
- Whether his promised delivery time will be often delayed
- Whether the quality of samples and bulk goods can be maintained
- Whether he solves the problem as he promised
Occasionally breaking promises is normal, but often breaking promises is definitely not acceptable.
Consistent performance trumps all else.
So when you do business with a supplier, be careful about their action. If you find that your partner is prone to inconsistency, end the relationship.
Otherwise, sooner or later you will suffer.
Finally, we wish you can find better partners, and create brilliant!
