- Gary Brusa, Frey Gaede Brusa Sales and 2008 OPRA president

Global Sales and Event Management, LLC is a team of experienced, customer-oriented professionals of whom I had the privilege of working with to design and coordinate a pilot program for our Association. I personally found the team very easy to work with through their flexibility and responsiveness, commitment to customer service, excellent communications, and task-oriented attention to detail. We received many positive comments about the pilot program from our members due in large part to the hard work and support of the dedicated staff at Global Sales and Event Management, LLC.

Global Sales and Event Management, LLC has been an indispensable resource in managing the ongoing operational and logistical tasks of the School, Home, and Office Products Association. Without this talented and seasoned staff at our disposal, our association would certainly not be able to deliver value to our members. I would highly recommend the GSEM team to any organization looking to maximize their event outcome.

Press Releases

Global Sales & Event Management LLC (GSEM) is launching a new network for suppliers in the school and office products industry. Called the School and Office Products Network, it is meant to provide members with business services, as well as research on industry and consumer trends. Members will also have the ability to promote product introductions on the network web site (schoolandofficenetwork. org). The network is seen as needed because of the suspension of the School and Home Office Products Association and its SHOPA Buyer-to-Seller (SBTS) marketplace. "Since SHOPA and SBTS have effectively ceased operations, a void was created in the industry for relevant and actionable research," says GSEM partner Carm Crawford. "There are also limited options for companies looking for international trade programs, information on the school marketplace and opportunities to network. GSEM can and will fill this void."
