• "We have a long history of successfully selling into Wal-Mart directly, both as employees of large multi-national consumer products companies as well as entrepreneurs who started our own company. After two decades, we sold our business and started a new venture. Our new team, as a start-up, needed the credibility, wisdom, and breadth of experience that LeanIn offers. We would have never been able to bring the vision of our new organization and our innovative spirit to as many merchants as we have without LeanIn; and their stamp of approval on us made it comfortable for merchants to trust that we could deliver on our promises. Within the first year, we have become a vendor in three departments at Wal-Mart and the sky is the limit for our growth. Thanks, LeanIn!"

“Historically, our company had always worked directly with Walmart and had solid direct relationships with the Toys team. When we hit roadblocks in getting placement on several new toy lines, we made the decision to partner with LeanIn and it paid immediate dividends! They put our lines in front of two different departments outside of Toy and were able to secure placement, we were literally shipping Walmart within a few months of LeanIn coming onboard! What really sets their team apart from other sales agents is their diverse background. They understand not only how a buyer thinks (having a previous Walmart buyer on their team) but how we as manufacturers think and the strategies we need to employ across product development, manufacturing and distribution (having successfully launched toy brands as entrepreneurs themselves).They really get it from all angles, couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

“We have worked with the Lean in team for years and are extremely happy with them. They are totally professional and most important they know what Walmart needs and wants. Our business has substantially increased with Walmart because of them.”

“We put Lean In to work on our business during a transitional year. In spite of tough headwinds, they were able to secure distribution for two new launches - brands that were entirely incremental to our core business. Success when we needed it the most!”
