1. Good suppliers want to meet more than the minimum requirements. They want to exceed their
customers expectations and are willing to go the extra mile.
2. Good suppliers are leaders in what they do and role models. Their companies are the ones that
the a customer wishes its other suppliers would emulate.
5. Good suppliers communicate well and keep their customers informed. Good news as well as
challenges. No surprises.
6. Good suppliers strive for excellent performance and want to make their customer (and customer
contact) look good.
7. Good suppliers are flexible. When they learn of a good idea or business practice that they believe
can improve their company, they will adopt it. Exceptional suppliers are early adopters, and their
customers can learn from these suppliers.
8. Good suppliers want to improve and know how to improve. Continuous improvement is not a
slogan. Its reality. Good suppliers do not become complacent. They are always looking to
improve, as they know the benefits of never standing still. If their customer uncovers important
opportunities for improvement, good suppliers are positive about pursuing these opportunities and
happy that their customer brought them to their attention.
