The Challenge of Manufacturer-Distributor Relationships
If you sell through distributors, you already know the pain: buyers use your site to research products, but you rarely know if they ever follow through with a distributor.
The Old Way: Blind Handoffs
- Buyers use “Find a Distributor” tools or contact forms.
- Only 2% fill out the form — the rest vanish.
- Manufacturers lose visibility once the lead passes to a distributor.
The MightyRep Advantage
Imagine this instead:
- A buyer clicks a product link at 10:13 AM.
- MightyRep captures their name, title, company, and intent.
- The lead is sent directly into your distributor’s CRM.
- Distributors can follow up within minutes — not days.
This creates a win-win: distributors get qualified leads, manufacturers gain visibility and influence, and buyers get faster responses.
Why This Matters
Channel tensions often stem from lack of transparency. MightyRep ensures leads don’t fall through the cracks and gives manufacturers confidence that distributors are following up.
