It's good to be upfront taki, but at the same time it's important to be tactful in how we say that something. In many situations, how we deliver our opinion will dictate whether we receive a positive or negative response from the other party.

So what can i do here?
One is that i can quit his relationship but ultimately i will lose my potential business. Or push him to make the payment and continue the business?
This is just my 2 cents worth: perhaps this is where a signed agreement would come in handy. Make sure you have a clause in the contract as to the consequences of such late payments. It might provide a bit more incentive for the dealer to pay you on time. Anyone one else have any ideas?
