Make no mistake...American Marketing is not a multi-level business. Let’s get that out in the open first!

Our structure may seem just as complex at first, but after a few minutes, you’ll see that we have a simple organization and that we are quite different than most companies. If you arrived here directly, you may want to explore some of our "history" before going any further.

The business hasn’t changed much in over twenty-three years. We've gotten a lot younger and it just gets more exciting every day!

Over the past 20 or so years,

 American Marketing has blossomed. Our proudest achievement is that we have grown enough to recognize and appreciate the freedom of having no employees, no management or supervisory structure, no expenses, and virtually no overhead.

You may have to read that again: No employees (everyone is an equity partner), no management or supervisory structure (no one looking over anyone's shoulder asking "What did you do for me today"), no expenses (no executive office, company cars and expensive address), and virtually no overhead (this makes all our competition very jealous).

Consider the source! American Marketing...where good ideas come from!

Quite simply, American Marketing shares in an assortment of "assignments" provided by corporate clients and internal projects. Each project is designed to generate a level of revenue or a degree of success that exceeds the project’s investment, therefore producing a profit, which is shared by the participating members of the project team.

Sometimes a client pays a fee for our services and the fee is shared by the team members participating in the production. Most project teams do not exceed six people. The average is four team members for each assignment and some require only two. The secret is..if you bring in the assignment...you are always on the "working team".

Breheny and Calarco met in 1990, when Calarco, then president of a public company, hired Breheny to run his favorite subsidiary, American Marketing. The two former executives (turned entrepreneurs) bring a wealth of corporate experience to the creative core of the group.

As executives, employed by a public corporation, the two men saw first-hand how much hard earned profits can be wasted away on needless and frivolous corporate expense or just mis-management of funds and spending. Their dream to develop a team of specialists that would not require the walls of an office to hold them in came true when Calarco and Breheny were left out to dry in a forced downsizing action by their former employer. It was the best thing that could ever have happened. The rest is history!

Never having been accused of standing still, they were back in business within two days of their exit from the corporate ties-that-bind. Pledging never to return!

Instead, each participating member of American Marketing has an equity share in the results of their efforts. A true profit share with all the fat shaved off. A dream come true!

Several web sites, currently under construction by American Marketing will require a daily, diligent effort of Internet activity. All equity partners are expected to have equipment, hardware, software and a place to work, before answering any of these posts:

Tech-Support Coordinator:

A Technical-Support Coordinator should have at least a year's experience administering and maintaining servers, websites and homepages and implementing programming languages and applications, including HTML, CGI, Java, and basic Unix. You should also be familiar with server software and very important, have the knowledge enough to maximize the usage of minimal resources. Many of the site assignments have tasks that require input that can only be attained by the application of genuine, original creativity.

If you have it, you may be the next partner in the group. Coming to the party with the equipment to make things happen is a definite plus! One of our projects may have as few as one and as many as three Technical Support Coordinators, depending on the volume of projects being managed.

In any other company this "job" would carry a handsome wage. However, as Calarco and Breheny profess; "whatever the pittance earned by salary, it would never match what a partner would earn in the same position, considering a similar successful result of the effort".

So, if it's a job you are looking for, you have come to the wrong place. There are no "jobs" at American Marketing. (no employees = no jobs) If you think you have what it takes, or if you have questions and you would like to become part of a profit sharing team of winners, you may e-mail Don Calarco

Marketing Resources Services:

Marketing Resources Services is a fancy name for digging and probing into the Internet, looking for opportunities that will enhance our site’s performance and our profitability. Most of the assignments given to our MRS's are very specific and easy to follow, however our best candidate spends a minimum of 3 hours (free-time) on-line a day right now!

Not just in Chatrooms, but in site development, Java, newsgroup scanning, e-mail, FTP and just browsing.

Bottom line, we are looking for the borderline "geek" here. And we say that word with extreme reverence. (Don Calarco is most proud to be called a geek) It was the geek that brought us this far and, afterall, the geeks will inherit the earth.

Join this exciting team and begin participating in the creative process from day one. The assignments relate to the sourcing of prospects that fit the interests offered in each individual site. Knowledge of E-mail extracting software such as Netcontact or Floodgate (or whatever you find most powerful to use) is required to make it to this team.

Each team project has a goal they wish to achieve. Net profits generated from successful efforts are shared by team members. Specific percentages for each assignment vary with each project. This one may look like a sleeper to most candidates, but the opportunity lies in the pure volume of contacts that you can generate.

If you know of a service that can save us a month of searching..come on in and make it easy..you know more than we do..that makes you a partner!

No real "jobs" like these exists in the corporate world. They have too much freedom for anyone to stand. Make your own time, work at your own pace, earn as much or as little as you like. Several sites are in need of team members with this important talent.

If it is a job you seek, you must seek it elsewhere. If it is security you are looking for, go away! If you wish to join a team of creative partners working toward a goal, who are absorbed in the fun of building a business and who create their own "security"...one of these spots may be for you!

Site Coordinator Services:

Site Coordination Services is a position that is not taken lightly around here! In the old days a project coordinator would work the hardest and make the smallest salary. Not here at American Marketing. We need someone who can "get it done"...and not just one project...all of them!

We are looking for Godzilla...Sales, marketing, customer service, project management, production schedules...the works! If you are the kind of person that can’t stand to be in a book store without organizing the books on the shelves by size...get your butt in here. Do we have an opportunity for you.

This candidate will join a team at the center of the creative core of American Marketing.

Taking direction and participating in the planning for each project, this partner will accept an assignment to take the project from start of plan to the very finish line. Along with that, she/he will manage the entire project budget, source and approve additional team partners, manage all production activities, and share in the net profits of the success of each of the projects under her/his control, as profits are generated.

Sorry Roscoe, there is no paycheck at the end of the week. Not here! Not ever! All the associates of American Marketing earn a portion of the profits generated from their successful efforts. We work hard, we play hard and we enjoy every minute of it!

This is a very full assignment which really requires full time attention. Not a part-time "job" by any means, this position will be filled by someone with a burning desire to achieve success as an independent entrepreneur.

A personal computer with Windows 95, Microsoft Office, Internet access and an e-mail account is required for consideration.

By teaming with the creative core of American Marketing, this opportunity may be what you were looking for, but if it’s a job you need, you need to keep looking. No jobs here! Just people working toward a goal.

If you think you can manage the menagerie, take a shot! 60% of all profits are controlled by the Project Coordinator.

Here's some math to think about: You would need to manage $2,000,000 in site revenue, earning a 30% margin to control $360,000 in earnings. In any corporate structure $2,000,000 in sales, after expenses and overhead could generate a healthy 10% in net profits or $200,000 .....and most of that would "fall to the bottom of the corporate line", never going to the working class!

The people who actually "did the work" to generate the profit...are part of the "expense" column in corporate accounting.

At American Marketing there are only two columns. How much did we make and what did it cost...the rest is profit, shared by the working team.

Sales and Marketing Services:

Sales and Marketing Services are provided by independant, outside, freelance sales specialists with the same equity interest in the project as the rest of the team. Target markets are determined by the current creative asignments. Someone once said "salesmen are a dime a dozen". Don't beleive it! There are alot of people who think they are in "sales". We are not looking for order takers. We are looking for talented "front-office" selling professionals, who can get in to see the important decision makers who provide us with the assignments that earn our livings.

The warm hand on the doorknob, belongs to one of the most important members of our team. Without a sale...nothing happens. What can we say! We’ll match and beat any commission structure that any company can ever offer. Do the math again..we have no "overhead", no "corporate expenses". We have simple cost of doing business and profit.

Average commission (which we call sales and marketing service fees) can range from 20% to 40% of the net profit.

Take a close look at American Marketing. We are not looking to build a broad sales team. One or two new faces in the group would be enough to do the trick.

If you value your contacts and you enjoy your freedom, this may be the smartest move you’ve made all year.

Send us an e-mail Mike Breheny or Don Calarco.

Let’s get together and talk about the possibilities.
