Glenn Gustke, Regional Sales Representative
Q&A: Glenn Gustke
- Q: How long have you’ve been at Diversified Woodcrafts?
- I’ve been with DWI since September 30th, so about 7 months.
- Q: What experience do you have in the industry?
- I’ve been in the industry for over 20 years. Began working with an Independent Rep Organization in the Chicago area, then moved on to become the National Sales Manager at Correll.
- Q: What makes you & DW a good fit?
- In my short time with DWI, you see the work ethic, attention to detail, and dedication in servicing our customers. Those are all qualities that I value and feel that I also possess. Also, my responsibilities are very similar to those I’ve held for the past 16 years, and I have familiarity with just about all of the Reps that we have in place. It’s a great group, the best in the business!
- Q: What has been the biggest surprise or your best moment so far?
- I knew DWI had a great reputation, but after announcing my hiring, all the congratulatory comments from Reps and Customers evolved around how great a company DWI is to work for. And the plant is unbelievable. I’ve never seen a cleaner plant than Diversified Woodcrafts.
- Q: What has been the biggest challenge?
- Nothing like being 7 months into a new job and having a pandemic hit. Other than that, I would say learning the DWI product line has been the most challenging part—because it is so vast. And also, coming from a company that I was with for 16 years, then starting with a new company always presents some challenges.
