Experienced Fundraising Sales Professionals:
Are you interested in growing your business with an innovative, dynamic partner company as you look to the future? We are currently seeking 20 experienced fundraising professionals.
Exciting things are happening here at Great American Opportunities! Please allow us to take a moment to share some of those things that might surprise you!
We have developed a product line that is second to none including:
- Magazines - New to Great American in 2003... but we are already the second largest magazine company in the fundraising industry! Publishers are pleased with our success... and the rapid growth is expected to continue in the coming years! In our first year schools experienced a 23% increase in profit over their previous fundraising company! We welcome new magazine fundraisers.
- Gift Brochures - Always a leader in quality products, Great American continues to offer an array of outstanding products for groups of all sizes. Dedicated to being the leader in quality, Great American pays more to the manufacturer to assure top materials, the best packaging and the best value to the customer. In fact customers who typically speak of gift products in fundraising as "Wal-Mart quality", speak of Great American product as "Hallmark quality" We are so proud of our product quality that we place our 800 number on every box!
- Cookie Dough - by owning our own manufacturing company, "Tasty Batters", we have a great competitive advantage in this rapidly growing product segment, and the cookies are great!
- Discount Cards - again by owning our own marketing company, Great American has taken the discount card business by storm! We are growing this very profitable segment of the business quickly. Discount Cards are a great program for both the school and the representatives!
- Chocolate - Great American has both private label and national brand candies available for schools and groups.
These are but a few of the reasons why so many fund raising professionals, averaging 15+ years experience in the industry, are choosing to make Great American their home for the remainder of their careers. We would love to visit with you, if you might be considering a change.
Our parent company, Southwestern/Great American Inc., employs over 1000 people in 12 different, yet related, companies. The Southwestern Company was founded in 1855 and is one of Nashville’s oldest, largest, and most respected companies.
- Southwestern recently celebrated our 150th birthday this year, and the Great American division turned 30 in 2005!
- Our company has assisted groups in raising over $750,000,000 in profits!
- Our company has added more than 50 long time fundraising industry veterans to our sales and management team from a variety of companies in the past few years!
- The SW/GA Inc. company stock plan, owned only by employees of the company, has enjoyed outstanding growth over the past 20 year period, far exceeding major market averages!
- Our management team, at every level, began their careers as salespeople. In fact, our Executive Chairman’s business card to this day maintains the title of "Salesman". In his words, "the profession of sales is the most honorable profession".
- Every SW/GA company is built on the same critical principal: "Salespeople, the customers they serve, and the relationships they develop are the key to success in our business. Every level of the organization should be structured to support those relationships."
As a result of these philosophies...
- The sales commissions and other compensation plans paid to our sales force are some of the richest in the industry.
- Our insurance plans and company profit sharing plans and contributions exceed those offered by our competitors.
- Our stock plan is unrivaled in its accessibility to all employees, and the opportunity for accumulation of wealth.
