Building Business Relationships

By Exforsys | on March 20, 2010 |
Relationship Management

In the world of business, gaining profits is not all there is. Even with the best products and good business practices, a solid business relationship among members of the company and the customers is very essential to the success of the business.

In fact, interpersonal relationship among working individuals at work has a huge impact on the success or failure of the business in general. Building relationships in business is one of the most fundamental aspects. When getting ahead in business, connecting with people and improving their lives must be highly considered.

If you wonder how these thriving business tycoons reach the ladder of success, it is because they excel at creating and developing relationships apart from their hard work and intelligence. They understand the importance and need of each and every employee in the company, so they reach out to them, making sure that they are being attended to. If you are part of management, the way to gain the trust and respect of your subordinates or members is to connect with them. Let us find out how good relationships are built in the business aspect.

Identifying and Understanding Areas of Differences

An important initial step in creating a connection with your work colleagues is to understand each other’s differences. This allows the individuals to change their positions to that of compromise and negotiation. So what are these differences that we should look for? Communication style whether verbal or non-verbal, tops the list. Since we are unique individuals, we also have our own unique way of expressing ourselves.

Understanding this difference will lead to collaboration and minimize conflict. Learning style is another distinction since we have our own ways of learning or grasping new knowledge. Considering this can make us adapt to various learning styles and create greater success.

Differences in values should be considered especially when working with a team. Learn to respect individual values and principles. Need identification of oneself must be done in order to modify toward company needs. Another difference to note is the company business culture. Employees have different backgrounds, status, and beliefs. These things have to be understood and respected.

Important Factors in Building Business Relationships

Since there are various business situations that we encounter, we have to consider the factors in building business relationships as these factors guide us in developing connections with others.

Communication is one of the most important ingredients in a relationship.   If business colleagues understand each other’s situation, working together is smooth and comfortable. Trust is one of the basic foundations of thriving relationships. However, you cannot demand trust from someone when you are not able to offer one.

Relationship is about giving and taking; a mutual process. There must be a reciprocal factor in building a bond with business associates. Especially in the line of business, you lose some and you gain some.

In a business relationship, you do not just take and take but offer a partnership by giving back something in return. First impressions count in a business relationship, too. Speak and interact with confidence and conviction and be presentable. Professionalism is another important factor in building relationships in business. Even if things go wrong, still keep it professional.

Establishing Business Relationships

Maintaining good business relationships is as important as establishing it. In business, we aim to connect and create a bond with mentors, colleagues, clients or customers, and management. In doing this, we must possess the required skills and invest time and energy to make it successful. We can be guided by some tips in order to make it happen.

Never inconvenience anyone by being a burden or a distraction to the person. You become nothing but annoying and un-welcomed if you let your colleagues feel you are an inconvenience. When it comes to exchanging information, have patience. Also, learn how to follow up promptly.

In connecting with the customers, keep the relationship by sending them simple notes of gratitude. Lastly, show concern and interest with what people care about the most. By being able to offer meaningful assistance to your business colleagues, you will easily earn their loyalty.

Putting value in your business relationships with people you work with professionally is also putting high regard on your business. Always deal with the relationship in a reciprocal manner; you get something beneficial out of the connection and contribute something positive in return. After all, this is what a relationship is all about.
