Greg
Dawson & Associates
is the largest brokerage organization in the Professional
Beauty Supply Industry, and covers 38 states inclusive
of 4 territories. The firm has 19 salespeople on the
road full time along with an inside office staff of 6.
The company has the fewest number of manufacturers of
any similar entity yet maintains by far the highest sales
volume in the industry. This is especially important for
manufacturers, as the firm is able to effectively promote
their respective merchandise and does not dilute effort
by representing an excess amount of clientele.
The company was formed in 1954 to represent manufacturers
seeking coverage within the Midwest territory in the Beauty
and Barber Supply Industry. In 1973 Greg Dawson, bringing
experience from a Fortune 500 company, joined the firm
and assumed ownership in 1976.
During the next few years the sales force was gradually
upgraded to become the youngest and most professional sales
and marketing team within the industry. New manufacturers
were carefully selected to give the company the growth
needed to successfully address the changing market.
In January 1986 the company was expanded to provide its
manufacturers with coverage in the Southwest portion of
the United States. Then, to better accommodate manufacturer's
needs, Dawson and Associates expanded into the Southeast
during the Spring of 1992. To further address a rapidly
changing industry climate, in November 1997, Greg Dawson
purchased two West Coast brokerage groups and integrated
them into one core company.
As we enter the new millennium, it becomes apparent that
rapid consolidation of distribution has changed our industry
dramatically. Old boundary lines have effectively become
obsolete. The new breed of distribution demands coverage,
sales meetings, and education in territories ranging from
California to the East Coast.
ONLY DAWSON & ASSOCIATES IS CAPABLE OF OFFERING THESE SERVICES IN A
THOROUGH, FREQUENT AND SYSTEMATIC MANNER.
