The GC-US principals’ and representatives’ Biographies speak for themselves. They are attached for your quick reference. Upon review, you will note that we are unique in that we are not just your typical consulting or sales organization. Our members are skilled in all of the areas necessary to help you achieve your goals.

As a current Success Spotlight

Manufacturer’s Rep Clients enjoy the benefits of our Global network for: 1) Steel distribution/export expanding upon their extensive experience in the mining and metallurgical sector that has executed important projects in both the private sector and the public worldwide; and 2) Renewable Energy/ Solar power that produced $450 Million in annual revenues in the most recent year with a magnitude of 50 million kilowatts over the last 4-5 years.

We offer more than just sales

With our broad experience and talent described above, we are able to offer advice and guidance on every area of your business. We want to see your business grow. Not that you will require all of these services, but it’s good to know you have an organization that knows the intricacies (and yes, idiosyncrasies) of your particular management/business/office/operation and can provide you with suggestions and advice if and when you need it. These additional talents and services are part of our value-add on top of our sales rep service. You will not be charged additional for these services in many instances (unless you agreed in advance to be a part of our ala carte consulting menu or equity partner option). This is one of the many items that separates us from a typical sales representative.

We build a relationship with you: We want and will get to know you and your business to the fullest extent possible. Our approach is that we are a part of your business. We want to see you grow and be successful. Our passion isn’t the money as much as seeing our clients and their members succeed and fulfill their goals and dreams.

Expectations and Communications: The most important part of our relationship will be to understand your expectations. We take the time, at our expense, to go over this with you in great detail. This lays the foundation for a successful relationship. We need to know precisely what you are looking for so we can deliver that and more. Also, communication is key. We love to work and are available 24/7.

We have worked with reps: Throughout our careers, we have worked and interacted with many sales/manufacturer’s reps. We know what makes a good rep and what makes a bad rep and we keep that in mind when dealing with our clients and our client’s clients. For instance, many reps only care about their commissions. They will bring you reckless deals and convince you to sign them. We look out for the best interest of the company and negotiate good deals that benefit all of us.

We are Selective: We only take on a limited amount of clients, based upon strategic directions and synergy of opportunity. We also do this to ensure our clients have the attention and accessibility that is needed to work together successfully.

Professional and Easy to Work With: We pride ourselves in being very professional, both in our dealings with your clients as well as within your organization. Although we are very professional, we are also very personable and generally get along well with everyone. A client shouldn’t have to battle or argue with his or her sales representative. In our minds, they should be friends. As evidenced in our biographies, all our consultants have served in C‐Suite executive level positions, so we know professionalism. We treat customers with respect and always make sure they are getting top-notch services and immediate attention. We go out of our way to do the little things that help close deals and keep clients. For instance, being located in beautiful Florida, we have an open invitation for boating, sailing, fishing and enjoying the world-class beaches and sunsets here in our neighborhood. These little things go a long way to establish long term relationships and conveniently repeat business.

Fun: We love what we do and always have a positive attitude. Frankly, we are often told, We are a pleasure to work with. We believe there is no reason we can’t do good business and all have fun at the same time.
