I agree with you completely. Paying them on time will definitely build trust and loyalty. As you do this, the relationship between buyer snd supplier is moving to the next level.

Without having good suppliers to always give us our supply at all times it might be a huge problem. So how can we maintain good relationship with our supporters to enable us get stock all the time?
Maintain good relationship with supplier is A MUST. We need each other, so we have to make sure we have mutual feeling of each others (in term of business of course). I always paid them ontime, never late. Its one of the reason why we maintain a good relationship so far.

Yes for people who buy on credit. It's best to always settle them promptly so they can give you more goods and allow you access to credit facilities too.

The most important thing to consider is you send payment on time and buy regularly. If don't delay payment, you will naturally build a good relationship with your supplier.

1. Build
trust: Trust
is a foundation of any successful business relationship. Take the time to build trust with your suppliers by demonstrating reliability, fairness, and transparency.

2. Set clear expectations: Make sure you are clear about what you expect from your suppliers and that they understand your deadlines and any quality standards.

3. Develop an open line of communication: Make sure you have an open line of communication with your suppliers. This will make it easier to discuss any issues that arise, as well as to discuss any changes or adjustments to the agreement.

4. Keep paperwork organized: Make sure you have all of your paperwork organized and up to date. This will help you avoid any surprises when it comes time to pay invoices or make changes to the agreement.

5. Be flexible: Be willing to work with your suppliers. If they need to make changes or adjustments to the agreement, be flexible and willing to work with them.

What business suppliers want is profit. If you as a retailer pays in time and always request products with your cash ready, that is enough to maintain a good relationship with them.

Trust is one thing suppliers like a lot. Once they see they can trust you, they'll establish a good relationship with you. They can even give you goods to test out freely.

It is important to build good relationship with your supplier but sometimes I need to change my supplier because I find another supplier that have cheaper price than my original supplier
I don't think that's the best idea in my opinion, you don't really need to change the old supplier rather you should patronize both as you wish but letting go your old supplier can have a backlash.

The same way you maintain good relationship with your customers, it is also important you put in effort in maintaining a good relationship with your suppler. You can do this by paying on time and being polite to them.

I believe that one of the best ways to have a very good relationship with suppliers of your business product is to make sure that you pay them when you are supposed to pay them all the time.

I think, if the supplier granted you to pay for installment on the items that you get from them, you have to pay them on the agreed date, in that way, you maintain a good relationship with your suppliers.

i always pay my supplier cash or bank transfer, never do installment things, so thats why my supplier always loyal to me because of it, and for me paying them cash or bank transfer on that day, its avoid me from having a debt

You can maintain a good relationship with the business suppliers by staying loyal to them by buying from them frequently. Suppliers tend to be disappointed when the businessmen change suppliers.

I always pay them on time, and when I get the goods I pay them directly ( cash or bank transfer) the suppliers always delivered the goods on time too because they know that I always pay them directly
