SMS Masterminds, Publicly Traded as SpendSmart Networks, Inc. announces the return of its United States Veteran’s Savings Initiative “Heroes Among Us”
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA – Today SMS Masterminds announced the return of its United States Veteran’s recruitment initiative called “Heroes Among Us.” In 2013, SMS Masterminds unveiled its first Veteran’s program providing financial discounts and incentives to current and discharged Veterans. One of that programs participants, Lt. Commander (Ret.) Patti Mitrowski of the United States Coast Guard recently celebrated her third anniversary of becoming a Mastermind and had this to say about the program, “SMS Masterminds is serious about its support and training and has always been there for me and Veteran’s like me in the network.”
SMS Masterminds, provides proprietary loyalty systems and a suite of digital engagement and marketing services that help local merchants build relationships with consumers and drive revenue. “We are excited about welcoming more Veterans into our family of employees and licensees,” said CEO Luke Wallace. The renewed program will offer financial incentives of up to $7,000 to qualified Veterans seeking to become a certified Mastermind in an exclusive territory. Participation in the program is limited to ten accepted applicants that will be recruited through various search initiatives. Hallmarks of the program are performance-based rewards that will help offset the initial investment of $28,800 paid by new licensees at the inception of their initial contract.
“The team at Masterminds is thrilled to welcome more heroes among us. Veterans bring incredible leadership and a mindfulness of service to our network, both of which are GREAT for business,” added SMS Masterminds Chief Revenue Officer Charles Neale Gerencser.
