Sphere Management Group Expansions in 2011

admin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:50:24 +0000

2011 was a successful year for Sphere Management Group, as the organization saw expansion into seven new markets. The company expanded its reach as far west as Spokane, Wash and as far east as Pittsburgh. Sphere Management Group also aided in the expansion into other locations including Flint, Mich., Jonesboro, Ark., Little Rock, Ark., Birmingham, Ala. and Cape Girardeau, Mo.

“The amount of growth and expansion we had in 2011 is extremely promising and a testament to how hard our team is working,” states Sphere Management Group Owner Joe Eckhart. Eckhart also notes, “We want to continue this trend in 2012 and give hundreds of people, not only in San Antonio, but throughout the nation, an opportunity for a successful career.”

The expansion into new markets is a promising sign for both Sphere Management Group and the struggling markets the organization is moving into, like Flint, Mich. Eckhart states that “Despite Michigan’s struggling economy, our in store marketing services are flourishing.” Eckhart continued by stating that the expansion is mutually beneficial for both the company and the Flint area. “Expanding into the Flint market has benefited our organization and the city’s economy by allowing our business to thrive all while we bring new jobs to the city.”

While 2011 was a positive year for Sphere Management Group, 2012 is shaping up to be just as fruitful. Both Sphere Management Group and Reign Management Group plan to expand into multiple regions in Texas within the next eight weeks.

Providing Opportunity in a Tough Economy

The United States fell into a recession almost four years ago and millions of Americans are dipping into savings and retirement accounts in order to make ends meet (Reuters, UK January 17, 2012). Despite the signs of a waning economy, both Sphere Management Group and Reign Marketing Group are providing San Antonioans with the opportunity to both work and thrive in this economy.

“No matter how tough the economy has been, our objective has always been to give people the chance to get fiscal independence”, says Sphere Management Group owner Joe Eckhart. Eckhart continued stating, “Times are hard for people and we understand that, so giving our team the tools to succeed in the in-store marketing and management fields is our number one goal.”

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 8.5% of Americans are unemployed, as of December 2011. While this is not as high as it has been in previous months, there are still millions of Americans searching for viable job opportunities to earn a reasonable wage. Sphere Management Group and Reign Marketing Group provide more than a reasonable wage, but the potential to gain critical career skills.

“We are training individuals who want to take command of their career, become their own boss and thrive in these difficult times,” says Reign Marketing Group owner David Overstreet. Overstreet also notes that, “Beyond providing lucrative job opportunities, we are offering employees a chance to have more control over their future and the money they earn.”

Sphere Management Employee Spotlight

Ben Defibaugh has been in the Marketing and Management fields for close to four years and his experience has allowed him to build businesses in both Pittsburgh and Louisville. Defibaugh is now in San Antonio working with Sphere Management Group, hoping to find more success.

Defibaugh is from a small town in Pennsylvania and started his career working in blue collar careers. Despite his ability to thrive in that environment, he had the passion and desire to do something more. “I felt that I had the potential for so much more in my life,” said Defibaugh. “I couldn’t quite put my finger on it but I knew is was not my calling.”

Defibaugh’s next career move was to the Mental Health field. After working in that field for five years, Defibaugh felt there was no more growth potential for him and he was ready for another fresh start. He started working in marketing and management in September of 2008 and within eight months Defibaugh found great success working with the nation’s leading satellite provider, DIRECTV®. Despite his lack of experience in the field, Defibaugh had the intangibles he needed to flourish.

Soon after helping to expand the business into Louisville, KY, Defibaugh was promoted to upper management and was given the chance to manage the entire Pittsburgh office. Not long after, he expanded the office and trained his account managers to take over the office.

Defibaugh is currently managing a team with Sphere Management Group and is poised to open an office in the Dallas/Fort Worth area later this year. “I plan want to continue to find and train the right qualitypeople and continue expanding into more offices.” Defibaugh continued by saying “my family is my motivation. I want to help my parents retire with no financial worries and I want the family I am raising to have the best of everything.”

Sphere Management Group Internship Offers Invaluable Experience

The summer of 2011 has been a very busy one for both Sphere Management Group and Reign Marketing Group. Regardless, the summer break means one things: internships. Sphere Management Group provides local students who are on summer break with work experience that they cannot get on any college campus or in any large lecture hall.

Owner Joe Eckhart is more than aware of the important fundamentals learned while participating in an internship. “Everyone did an internship while in school. Most internships involve running errands, getting coffee or picking up the mail.” Eckhart continued, “we give our internship participants real-world marketing experience. They leave here with business savvy and the skills to work for any large company promoting that brand and creating tangible results.”

Sphere Management Group Intern Paulina Roman

One of Sphere Management Group’s top internship participants is Paulina Roman. Roman is starting her Sophomore year at Southern Methodist University in the fall. Her work ethic and ability to excel in in-store marketing have made her a great success during her short tenure at Sphere Management Group. Nonetheless, she knows more is required to maintain her progress. “I have gotten incredible experience that will give me great advantages when I apply for jobs in the future, but I know coming back next summer will help me further develop great leadership skills.” Roman went on to say, “I have had a wonderful time working at Sphere Marketing Group this summer. I don’t feel like a traditional ‘intern’, I feel like a peer.”

Roman and the other participants in the Sphere Management Group paid internship program will continue to work this summer until the program ends on August 10th.
