The Interview
We sat down with Mike Dupuis, Owner of Made U Look Promotions, to talk about the challenges his team faced managing Salesforce, what led them to Intelligent Solutions, and what's changed since. Mike didn't hold back — and what he shared is something a lot of growing businesses will recognize.
What was the main challenge you were facing with Salesforce before working with Intelligent Solutions?
"Our biggest challenge was inconsistent turnaround times on issues. Sometimes problems would be addressed and resolved within a day, while other times it could take four or five days just to hear back from someone. The unpredictability made it difficult to operate efficiently and created a lot of frustration for our team."
How did you find Intelligent Solutions?
"We were referred by another company we were interviewing to help manage our Salesforce environment. The referral gave us confidence that they would be a good fit for what we needed."
What made you decide to move forward with them?
"Intelligent Solutions impressed us from the very beginning. They struck the perfect balance of being a larger, capable company without being so large that we would get lost in the shuffle. At the same time, they were big enough that it didn't feel like a one-person operation with limited availability.
One thing that really stood out during the interview process was how well they listened. They took the time to understand our problems, asked thoughtful follow-up questions, and focused on where we were as a company instead of pushing their own agenda. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and deep understanding of Salesforce made the decision easy for us."
How would you describe what Intelligent Solutions has done for you?
"They've helped us improve and expand our Salesforce system by adding features that streamline workflows and create more efficiency for our team. They've also cleaned up the technical debt we had accumulated from previous developers, making our system more organized, stable, and reliable overall. Beyond fixing individual problems, they take a broader view of our Salesforce instance to ensure it continues operating effectively as a whole."
What's the most noticeable improvement since working together?
"The most noticeable improvement has been how quickly and correctly issues are resolved. In the past, we often dealt with fixes that either took too long or didn't fully solve the problem. Now, when we bring an issue to Intelligent Solutions, it gets handled quickly and done right the first time. We've also saved a significant amount of time and reduced a lot of headaches because they are proactive, self-starting, and genuinely take the time to understand how our company operates."
Can you put a number to the impact?
"I don't have a specific number to share yet, but I can confidently say they've taken a tremendous amount of stress off my plate. Before Intelligent Solutions, we never knew whether an issue would be fixed in a day or a week, and we were never fully confident in the quality of the solution. Now, I feel comfortable knowing that problems will be addressed quickly and handled properly, which has made a huge difference for both me and the team."
Who would you recommend Intelligent Solutions to?
"I would recommend Intelligent Solutions to almost any company that is seriously using Salesforce. They clearly have the capability to support large, complex organizations, but they can also help smaller companies that want to grow and improve their systems. Their real strength is in building systems, workflows, and processes that help companies scale and operate more efficiently. For businesses that want to fully leverage Salesforce, they are an outstanding partner."
