Quality of Relationship with Customers
Satisfying customer needs ensures the business survival for an organization. A periodical check is required to enhance the quality of services and product to build a quality relationship with customers. For fulfilling this goal organizations must have a set of rules to measure and improve this quality.
Delivering best quality services to customers is considered the most efficacious way to ensure that an organization stands out from a group of competitors and avail the privilege to be known as best among all. The main ingredients that are involved in a high quality relationship between customer and supplier are trust and commitment. Trust means confidence and security in any relationship and can be treated as the biggest investment in building long term relationships. Trust is developed between the two parties when they experience flawless and satisfied motives between each other. As a result of knowing more about each other, all the doubts and risks are minimized and leads to inevitably smooth business. Lack of trust, on the other hand, weakens the relationship foundation; as a result chances of uncertainty and conflicts increases.
Commitment is yet another milestone that should be achieved to set a long term mutual relationship. Commitment can only be attained when there is mutual trust and the two parties share each others values. In a committed relationship both suppliers and customers strive to uphold the relationship and never want to exit which in turn results in building the relationship stronger and sharper. There is, in fact, huge cost which is incurred in switching from committed relationships of one supplier and build new relationships with other suppliers from scratch.
There are other attributes as well which promote a high quality relationship, these include the following:
Inheriting the above quality attributes into business will always improve quality relationship between customers and suppliers and is always fruitful for both.
