Last month, I received the honor of a promotion to a Senior Executive Consultant role. I'm not big on fancy titles, but I am big on passing along opporunity to others. Over the last decade (trying not to reveal my age here), I have learned that helping others reach their goals will naturally help you reach your own goals. Zig Ziglar says it much better than I do: “You will get all you want in life, if you help enough other people get what they want.” Thank you to the colleagues, team members, friends, and family who helped us reach this accomplishment.  -Adam Dorfman

DMC Atlanta President Adam Dorfman Responds to the ALS #icebucketchallenge Throughout the two weeks leading up to August 16th, I received several "nomination" (i.e. dares/bets/challenges/bechawontdoits) to take on the #IceBucketChallenge to raise awareness and money for the ALS Association. The challenge is simple - someone dumps a bucket of ice water on their head and nominates a few other people either to do the dare or donate money to the ALS Association. The concept seemed like a pretty cool idea, and I had all intentions of donating - and said I would accept the challenge when I had time.  I was traveling a good bit, didn't make it a priority, and, quite frankly, REALLY did not want to dump a bucket of ice water on my head.  My thought was - if I donate, I don't have to do the dare, right? My mind changed on Friday August 15th.  I was invited to speak at a leadership development conference in Toronto, Canada, along with some good friends I have made over...

DMC Atlanta President, Adam Dorfman, with Jen and her team moving to Tampa On Monday, March 17th, 2014, DMC Atlanta proudly promoted  Jen Hemelgarn  from Assistant Management to Management - a major milestone and one of the highest levels one can reach in the DMC Atlanta  Management Development Program . Jen joined the DMC Atlanta team as a  sales and marketing account manager  in November of 2010, earned Assistant Management in 2013, and will be relocating with a team to Tampa, Florida as a senior partner. Jen will be running her own office, representing Verizon on DMC Atlanta's expanding retail program.  As with any management promotion that involves a relocation, the moment was bittersweet. Since DMC Atlanta is a people-centered program where strong personal relationships among coworkers is highly encouraged, the friendships Jen has formed over the last three years make it difficult to see her leave - but the team could not be happier for ...

Since we opened DMC Atlanta in July of 2003, we have had a strong commitment to charitable organizations and giving back to our community. DMC Atlanta is part of several direct marketing, sales, and advertising networking groups and organizations. In 2011, we partnered several other organizations to support Operation Smile – an organization that funds mission trips throughout the world for doctors and volunteers to provide safe, effective reconstructive surgery for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate. Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft — often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In some places these children are shunned and rejected. And in too many cases, their parents can't afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a normal life. The cost of each surgery is right around $250. Because the doctors volunteer their time and pay their own way to the missions, the money raised goes directly to the cost of me...

In all aspects of life, there are times of self-reflection - those moments where we finally stop running, take a breath, look around, and see where we are. Now is one of those moments. We have some major changes afoot in the DMC world (of the REALLY exciting variety), and I wanted to take a moment to share them with everyone. HR Manager Ainsley Linus First and foremost, we are excited to welcome Ainsley Linus to the DMC Family as our new head of recruitment and HR. Ainsley is a graduate of Auburn University and brings a strong background of administration, training, and recruiting to the DMC team. Welcome aboard! Since our inception nine years ago, DMC Atlanta has worked to become a major force in the direct marketing/direct sales industry. Because of our membership in outsourcing groups, we are one of many companies brought together annually to celebrate achievements and milestones and to award peak performance. This year, four members of our manageme...

In the spirit of the season, we're moving some of our eggs to a new basket. One of my mentors told me, repeatedly, that "if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten."  I guess she had to repeat it because my skull is 99% concrete, about 3 inches thick, and houses a tiny little brain that, by design, doesn't particularly care for change. I'll start by saying that I'm extremely happy with what we've always gotten, but I want more. Lots more. Well, for the last (almost) nine years, I have run a company that does B2B Marketing & Sales on an outsourced basis for large Office Supply and Telecommunications companies.  We've even managed to get pretty darn good at it - acquiring over 75000 new accounts and expanding to have offices all over the US. Because of our track record, we've been approached over the years to take on new clients.  We have succeeded with some, failed with other, an...
