LOL. I remember giving Ingram MicroD 50% of sales just to get stocked, then spending tens of thousands on advertisements, and on store sales promotions just to get them to order our software from Ingram MicroD. That after spending tens of thousands on printing manuals, boxes and duping disks.
And you want to talk about vague and arbitrary rules, just try to figure out why the stores that said they’d promote your software buried it in the back and returned it after cashing your checks.
My favorite was trying to get paid by Ingram MicroD. “It’s been 90 days, you agreed to pay within 45”.
“Oh sorry it’s friday, we only cut checks on Thursdays”
“Oh, you didn’t get your check? I’m sorry, I’d like to help but it’s thursday, we only cut checks on Tuesdays ..... oh I don’t know why she told you that, we never cut checks on Thursdays”
“The good news is I went ahead and cut your check, even though it’s only Wednesday. The bad news is our CEO is out of the office, so it isn’t signed yet ..... oh, I’m nit sure when he’ll be back, it’s a family vacation.”
