Should consider many factors as supplier must be honest, his previous record must be clear he must supply on time. Must be dedicated hard worker. Must be polite and gentle as while we interact with him we must not feel any problem.
That's correct honesty is the best policy. Background check is also necessary if the future supplier has no pending records in court or police.

A good supplier who is consistent in supplying goods and services. They need to deliver them on time.
And I have noticed that suppliers who are always supplying people all the time tend to sell good products because if they don't sell good products people will not patronise them so for people to patronize them it means that they are very good at what

The first thing you have to consider is the quality of the products they are offering.

Then you look at the promptness of their delivery.
You are correct
I have seen a lot of people who sell good products but their delivery is not prompt. It will be very tiring especially when it is a product that can spoil in minutes

Find vendors who have a history of contented, long-term customers as opposed to those who have a large number of short-term customers.
This is another way of knowing a supplier who is honest and who knows how to do his job properly because I'm very sure that people would not love to patronize a supplier who is not diligent in his job

One of the most important factors to consider when you are looking for a supplier is consistency. Does he regularly have the product that at anytime, he can supply you?

For me, it is best to do a background check for the suppliers of my business. They might have a bad record meaning, they might disappear after receiving partial payment. Ee cannot also be sure if they have bad records on delayed deliveries

I want a supplier that has affordable and reasonable price for their products. The availability of the product too. I need to build a good relationship with my supplier

One thing that I will always look out for when it comes to needing a supplier, is someone that will always deliver when he promised to do so and not someone that will disappoint me and leave me hanging.

That's why you really need to consider the pedigree of the supplier from others. Some suppliers are very terrible and can give you substandard products just to make higher profits.

I look out for the reviews that the supplier has both online and offline. I consider his ability to communicate and relate with clients. And I also look out for the authenticity of the products he supplies.
