Kindness in a business environment results in positive ripple effects where everyone gains when they invest time in building good relationships. From consultants, vendors, suppliers to contractors, people like to do business with people they know, like and trust.

Your payments are deposited directly into their bank account. No more special trips to the bank and they have faster access to their money. It’s easy.

How to Encourage Your Suppliers to Switch
