GLISC Great Lakes Industrial Sales Consortium

ABOUT US

GLISC - Working Together Towards Common Goal
The Great Lakes Industrial Sales Consortium, otherwise known as GLISC is the creation of Mike Kramer, Todd Kuzniak and Rick Evans. Leaders in their respective fields, the trio understands that in order to remain competitive in the marketplace today, the philosophy can no longer be “business as usual”. “In the past,” says Mike Kramer, General Manager of Con-Syst-Int Group Inc. and co-founder of GLISC, “we had a steady stream of clients readily needing our products and services. As we all know, the industry has changed in recent years, however, all that really means is that we must be able to change with it.” Together, they developed a business networking model specific to Industrial Sales Professionals. GLISC is a voluntary referral system of non-competing businesses. These businesses work through a network to learn about each other’s company and expand the ability to make referrals through a company’s own sales network. The consortium functions under a “givers gain” philosophy, referring to the concept that the higher the level of collaboration that takes place between companies, the greater the returns will be. There is a focus on a “go to” source for your customer service base to provide a consolidated informational network. This group meets bi-weekly for one hour with the hosts rotating each meeting. The host is the focus of the meeting with a ten minute presentation to demonstrate the function and capacity of their respective company to other network members. The group has final say on who is accepted and once accepted your competitors are not able to join that particular Chapter, however, guests are always welcome, and if there is already a competitor in the Chapter, they are encouraged to begin a new Chapter following the same model. The group is currently seeking charter members.
