Great Lakes Sales, LLC was established in January 2006 by the merger of two premier rep organizations: Krumwiede & Associates and Motil-Wedel Associates. This merger created a combined legacy of over 80 years serving the office products and school supply markets in the Midwest.
COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Maller, President, who brings over a decade of experience and commitment to his responsibilities at Great Lakes Sales. We have a long track record for sales growth with both our established manufacturers and our new and emerging companies. We continue to build upon that legacy by adhering to several key business philosophies:
Organization Discipline
Major objectives and smaller details are managed and resolved both internally and through our sales direction.
The Highest Quality Personnel

to call upon. Collectively, our Territory Managers bring decades of sales experience to the representation of our manufacturers’ product lines at dealers and corporate end-users.

This is critically important to our manufacturers because they need to know that we have the time to accomplish their goals.
It is also important that our people have the time to do their very best.
We also review our manufacturers to make sure we are representing extremely high quality manufacturers with significant and/or unique growth opportunities.
