Meeting Suppliers in Person

Visiting suppliers in person can significantly enhance profitability by fostering better relationships and understanding. Personal interaction often leads to reduced costs of goods sold and can mitigate inefficiencies in shipping. For instance, a company that frequently visited their supplier could secure financial flexibility, allowing them to execute large retail deals without predatory lending. This in-person connection is crucial in some cultures and helps avoid misunderstandings that could lead to costly mistakes.
