Company Overview

VMI, founded in 1999, continues to expand as a premier marketing company. We have over 30 locations nationwide and we average a yearly growth rate of over 24 percent. We attribute this tremendous growth to 2 ideals. The first is our innovative marketing and sales strategies. The second is our underlying value of caring for the security, growth, and well being of our employees.

Our clients are looking for an edge in marketing, advertising, and sales. They must outshine their competitors in each of these categories. Our client acquisition team offers an extremely effective approach to marketing and client relationship management. In our experience, the most effective way to market one's services is through a live, personal presentation. On behalf of our clients, we personally introduce ourselves to their customers in order to establish relationships with them. The power of a live representative is unparalleled. Our approach enables us to educate the consumer about changes in the industry, sell our client's services, answer questions, and personally thank them for their business.

VMI's personal technique has enabled us to generate huge success for our clients. Our professionals have the ability to represent our clients in the best way possible: face to face. Our reps are trained to interact with customers in a friendly, courteous, and professional manner while responding to their questions or concerns. The clients we work with have found it to be the best possible way to acquire and retain new customers.

MISSION STATEMENT: We are committed to promoting the growth of our clients by representing them with the highest standards of integrity and professionalism. Our company will expand by promoting an environment of hard work, dedication, tenacity, and organization. We will develop our employees and empower them to grow professionally and personally. By maintaining our standards as a leader in our industry, we will continuously grow the size of our organization.

COMPANY GOALS: To continue to provide unlimited professional and personal growth for our employees. This allows us to continue to grow at the same rate or better year after year. This perpetuates the expansion of our portfolio, thus allowing more Fortune 500 clients and the further expansion of operations on a domestic and international level.

OUR PEOPLE: VMI consists of account executives that are currently increasing and retaining the customer volume of our clients' campaigns. In addition to these account executives, our management and administration team is dedicated to fostering the growth and success of the organization and its people. Our team comes from various backgrounds and cities around the world. The common link, however, is their incredible energy, enthusiasm, and ability to work with one another to accomplish their own personal career goals.

Executive and Management Backgrounds:

Our Directors/Executive Team carry Bachelor Degrees ranging from Business Administration (Virginia Tech) to Broadcast/Communications (Michigan State University). Our Management Team possesses Bachelor Degrees from St. Xavier-Chicago (Business Administration) and the University of Wisconsin (Social Work). The Director of Human Resources carries a triple major from Elmhurst College in Biology, Political Science, and Urban Studies. While we do not require a four year degree, we are adamant about continuing education for ourselves and our employees. Our management team has attended such classes as The Franklin Covey Training Courses and the Wharton School of Business to provide and be provided with the best tools for ultimate success.

Experiencing great success over the past nine years has allowed us to give back to our local communities and favorite charities. We have and have had the privelage to work with such charities as:

* United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation
* The Marone MS 150 Bike Tour
* Autism Speaks
* Red Cross
* Starlight Starbright
* THASC (The Handicapped And Senior Citizens)

CAREERS:

VMI is committed to being the best at every level of what we do: for our clients, for our employees, and for the community in general. We are looking for people who share those same ideals. We are somewhat old fashioned: we value work ethic over a certain level of experience, and an optimistic attitude over a specific degree. We know that success is not guaranteed by just knowledge alone; we look for people who are concerned about their futures and who desire success for themselves.

VMI is hiring for Entry Level Team Members to assist with our Fortune 500 client portfolio. In the beginning, our employees learn the fundamentals of marketing, consulting, and sales. The consulting that we do is for small to mid-size target markets. We do not handle telemarketing, direct mail, billboards, broadcasting, and/or market research. As technology increases, the demand from our clients never goes away to build and maintain those personal relationships with their present and potential small business customers. As our team members prosper with the presentations, marketing, sales, and consulting skills, they then are able to rapidly advance into other areas of the company.

Our philosophies are simple, but strong:

* We strive to create an environment that is conducive to developing a strong leadership core. We provide hands-on training at every level of the company.
* We promote only from within our own company, and we reward employees based on their effort and dedication, not on seniority.
* We advocate the principles of leadership and action over the title of management.
* We encourage personal development, because we know that the growth of our company will only occur if we endeavor to develop our employees to their fullest potential.
* We train the senior level management staff ourselves, from the ground up - beginning at the entry level position. Learning our business from the inside out increases the effectiveness of the management team.
