Meet Doug Glassman, an industry leader
A Certified Lighting Consultant (the top design designation awarded by ALA), Doug started his career as manager of a lighting showroom in southern California. He then moved into outside sales for Fine Art Lamps before establishing Glassman Lighting.
“There is one fundamental fact about lighting:
Where there is no light, there is no beauty.”
~ Billy Baldwin
“Doug Glassman redefines going the extra mile. His vast experience in this industry gives him the edge in forecasting designer trends. His customers know he’s not simply making suggestions, he’s showing them the path to success.”
~ Robert J. LeFleur, Business Development, WAC Lighting
A “people” person, Doug loves to spend time on the sales floor. “Despite the value of ‘new’ technology, the most effective sales tool is still face-to-face communication,” he says.
He often lends a hand in the showroom, setting up a product gallery, assisting with product selection, opening boxes, painting, drilling … whatever it takes. He also does hands-on training with the staff, educating them about each line, and he ensures they have the right marketing tools to sell the product.
