    Force Management
    I loved incorporating and practicing "the mantra" in my presentations and business meetings. The discovery flow is really intelligent as well because you first get a sense of where the team currently stands with their business challenges, then are able to speak to your product later. The whole idea of mapping specific services to a company's issues, using their own language and metrics, is really paramount to build rapport and see if it's possible to solve their business problems

    Works well if you want to 1) Fulfill your own eComm orders. 2) Want the ability to do dropship with 3rd party retailers. 3) Want LOT# control (e.g. if you're in the food industry). There are a plethora of companies that can do ecomm fulfillment but they don't have the ability to do option 2 & 3.

    • Very hard to find the products you're looking for on the site if you don't already know exactly what you're trying to find. Lots of similar/identical products with uninformative naming conventions.
    • Poor faceted navigation.
    • Entire site is painfully slow.
    • The policy of automatically closing inactive accounts after 12 months, with no ability to re-open it upon customer request, is crazy.
    • Pricing on most commonplace IT products (outside of things like HPE servers) is not competitive at all, it's almost always cheaper to just buy on Amazon, and even when Ingram is cheaper, the difference is so negligible it's pointless to bother.

    FM is geared towards the Enterprise sellers and although it has a few modules for the Business Development Reps, we also needed to bring in Sandler Training in conjunction with FM to ensure our BDRs were reaping these benefits as well. Another unfortunate issue we noticed with FM was the out-of-box integrations available and we would have sync issues with SFDC

    Ingram Micro is the largest supplier of this type in New Zealand and as such we started to use them almost only for this reason.
    Although we have had a very good customer experience and will continue to use Ingram Micro services in the future.
