Many my readers are seriously about making money on the Internet with their own business strategies. So do I. I have been involved in online e-commerce stores for sometime. I run my own business for few years now. As an online retailer and moving forward to a drop shipper, building a closer relationship with my business partners becomes one of the most important tasks in my business plan.

Without a close relationship with your business partners and even your potential competitors, you will miss some important opportunities to stand in front of them. Business is Business. Many people build relationship based on the profit and lost. When they make money, they are very good buddies. When they lost, they face off.

Building a business relationship sometimes is harder than loving your other half. There is love between you and your lovely one. Business relationship has no love. It’s solely based on one simple goal. Make profit! Without the love, a business relationship won’t last too long, if the interests on both sides are fading out. So the question is how to keep this close relationship without love?

Building a better relationship with my suppliers is one of my top priorities. I could not tell you how success I have done building relationship with my business partners in the past, but I can tell you that they keeps coming back to me with more business opportunities.

Before making the connection to a new business partners, I always do my research about my partners. I will ask few questions to myself before calling them.

  • What can I offer to my new business partners?
  • What are the best things they do?
  • What are their weakest points?
  • Who are their competitors?

I don’t always get the answers right away, but I, at least, know what information I will be collecting while dealing with them.

Building a close relationship in the blogging world may be different, but the concept is the same. I believe one thing that will make your a successful business man in any field.

Give before you take!

Do not think about what your can get in return at first place. In the blogging world, we all know giving good quality content will attract more readers to stay and coming back. Give away a link love will get you some attention. Leave comment to introduce you. It’s all about “Give before you take.”

I apply this concept into my online business as well. I gave a lot of stuff.

  • I give away good quality products.
  • I give huge discount.
  • I give free samples.
  • I give credit to my suppliers.
  • I give recommendation to my competitors.
  • I give business opportunities to my supplier by referring other clients.
  • I give my helping hand on other things not related to my business.
  • I give my personal warm heart without giving out my private life.

This is just the beginning of making connection. There are a more tasks to do to build solid foundation.

In the business, you will end up finding that “It’s a small world!”

To be continue …
