A common problem I’ve heard this year from small business owners is supply chain issues. Many businesses are dependent upon suppliers to produce the finished products that their customers need.
This year the supply chain has been disrupted for multiple reasons. Sometimes due to a shortage of microchips or materials in high demand.
Other times it’s due to the long lead time suppliers need to restart production after Covid. When you’re having supply chain issues, it can be tempting to hide out from irate customers or to lie to them.
Proverbs 12:19 says, “Truthful lips will endure forever, but a lying tongue is only for a moment.”
It’s critical that you truthfully communicate with customers. They deserve to know what you know so that they trust you and plan accordingly.
