Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm having some issues with one of our vendors, they're not meeting their deadlines and it's affecting our project timeline.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Sorry to hear that. Have you tried communicating with them directly to understand the cause of the delay and find a solution?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
Yes, I have, but I'm not sure what else to do. Do you have any suggestions on how to improve our working relationship with this vendor?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
You could try setting clear expectations and milestones, and also consider establishing a regular check-in to monitor progress and address any issues promptly.<|im_end|>
