Here's how you can navigate the common pitfalls when giving feedback to suppliers in a professional setting.

It's very true and right approach and one more point to be added Avoid blaming or accusing the supplier and instead focus on finding a solution together.

Having extensive preparations for a feedback session with vendors enable focused discussions, and hence laser-sharp solutions. Both buying and selling side need to have aligned undersranding of the ideal product and appurtenant terms and services, a meeting of the minds so that actual delivered matches both parties' expectations.

Ao buscar fornecedores, estamos não apenas buscando atender às suas necessidades de suprimentos, mas também procuram estabelecer parcerias sólidas baseadas em confiança, compromissos. Acredito que uma prospecção bem-sucedida não se resume apenas a encontrar o melhor preço, mas também considerar a qualidade, a pontualidade na entrega, entre outras.

Our clients prioritize quality as we do, so effective negotiation is key to securing deals that balance top-tier quality control with competitive pricing. After 17years I personally enjoy working with China they are efficient, their follow up is excellent and they will go that extra step to ensure we get the best for our clients.
