Yes keeping any relationship stress free is always challenge whether its your own life or business and you have to take care of all minuature details of customer and your loved ones and when you feel there is problem you have to get your act going to make things right so that the relationship is not effected.

Same way if the customer is not happy we have make efforts to make him happy and satisfied for business relationship to last long .

No business will survive without relationships.

 

To make a profit, there must be sales of a product or service.

To create the product or develop a service, relationships are required with suppliers and stakeholders.

To sell the product, there needs to first be a relationship of trust built with the customer.

To manage the business, company leaders and managers must build a relationship with their people based on trust, respect and understanding.

Our customers, our employees, our stakeholders, our managers and leaders are all human.

Humans are complex emotional beings.

No two individuals are identical (even identical twins!).

Everyone has different needs, desires, aspirations, values and expectations.

Those who are able to discover and leverage these unique variables in individuals build exceptional teams and successful companies.

It takes building and managing ongoing relationships to unearth, develop and maximise the talents of your staff, the desires of your customers and the expectations of your stakeholders.

When you’re focus is on managing relationships, you are in an incredibly powerful position to get the best out of your staff, get ahead of your competition in serving the needs of your customer and gain the cooperation you need from all stakeholders to achieve your business goals.

Underestimating the importance of business relationships equates to underestimating the importance of solid foundations in a building, and will set your business up to stagnate and eventually crumple.

For a sapling to grow into a strong tree, it requires all the necessary elements (water, sunlight, manure and keeping away from pests) for growth to be strong.

Similarly, a relationship in the sapling stage, needs certain factors, to ensure that it becomes strong after building it by maintaining it  through continuous and friendly communication, either personal or professional, depending on the situation.

Therefore, depending on how you value or maintain your relationship, the results will show in times of need.  It is a challenge in today's world, as people keep changing with times and we should have an 'X' factor in us, to attract attention. 

So, if we are creative, we can still prove to be the best from the rest, for which they will have to come to us if they are looking for the 'X' factor quality.

Building relationships with various stakeholders is vital for business. 

 

The major challenge is to maintain relationship with various parties.  Developing new relations may be one time action however maintaining it is a continuous process and needs continuous effort. Relation can be converted into long term via adhering to the terms while relation was developed. This term may be anything from quality, priority, excellent service to value added solutions.

I agree. I see that the main challenge is managing these relationships to be always win-win relationships. The root challenge is willingness to share the benefits of positive relationships.
