I found the rebuttal posted by the Realistic Entrepreneur particularly entertaining. It didn't take me long to draw the conclusion that Mr. Realistic was actually Mr. Dorfman spewing his venom at those that have called him out. This is really transparent and probably shows the true colors of the owner of this company.
There is nothing innately unethical about this business practice, but it is highly manipulative. I worked for a business equipment company in the mid-eighties that used similar business practices. We looked for kids right out of college hungry for that first job. We particularly liked to hire former athletes because of their competitive edge. More importantly, it gave us credibility with prospective candidates. Our interview process was similar in that we sent people on day long field interviews where they made calls with our representatives.
This opportunity is for someone that really can't find anything else. Success is more predicated on timing and good fortune than it is hard work and business acumen. There is exponentially more failure than success. It is a young person's game because anyone with any significant experience can see through the facade.
In my career, I was fortunate to have some highlights, but I was a drain on my family. I made some money, but for the most part I could not survive month to month on my income. The best thing that came out of it was that I met my wife. Other than that, I would say that my time as a direct marketing representative was a mistake that I would not want to relive.

Adam:
Shame on you. I for some reason today searched on the internet and found several complaints on your company. You for some reason felt compelled to respond to the young lady that told as far as I am concerned probably most of the truth.
For you to suggest that you do not send people at least 1.5 hours from the office and make them pay for their own gas is less than the truth. You would send me to Gainsville Georgia from Atlanta on a daily basis. So let me respond to your statements as best as I can remember.
1. On my interview I told you I use to make a six figure salary. YOU told me I could do that in less than two years.
2. You never told anyone that being promoted meant you had to stay at the office and enter your daily orders in the data base computer. Wow- I get to stay for 14 hours on commission and do your work.
3. To suggest that you don't put six people in a room is not the truth. How DARE you respond with that ! I never in my proffessional life had been forced to sleep in the same BED with someone I did not know. I rented at my expense a rollaway cot !

As President of Dynamic Marketing Concepts, Inc. I take these reports extremely seriously and have taken the time to thoroughly research the posted accusations. I am posting my reply with my name and phone number attached not anonymously. These comments have damaged my company's reputation. I encourage anyone considering working with or doing business with our company to meet us in person and make decisions about us for yourself. Each person's experience is their own, and, for every one person who has had a negative experience with any company, there are many whose positive experiences will never be heard. Please see the information below in regards to stay away's posting about our company. Facts: 1. We keep meticulous territory records and have never assigned the territory of Blue Ridge, Georgia to a female member of our staff. The only representative that has ever worked Blue Ridge as a daily territory was a male assistant manager who specifically requested it as his territory. 2. While we do put multiple people in company-provided hotel rooms during business trips, we have never and will never sleep five or six individuals in one hotel room. As a company, we pay for the hotel rooms for all business-related travel. 3. In regards to our interviewing practices, we receive several hundred resumes per week. As with any position, many people who apply tend to embellish on their resumes. We conduct short introductory interviews with a high number of people to validate the information that applicants provide on their resumes. Additionally, as a company that specializes in face to face customer interaction, it is critical that we meet each potential candidate face to face to determine their fitness for the position. 4. At no point in time do we ever tell any of our applicants or representatives that a high level of income is guaranteed. We provide our people with the opportunity to earn and advance based on personal performance and merit. At no point in time will we ever try to force someone to stay with our company. Not everyone picks up on the sales side of our business immediately, and if, after receiving extra training, someone is unable to meet their personal financial goals, we encourage them to move on to another position with our full support and a high level of recommendation. 5. We do provide people with the opportunity to advance from an entry-level position into a position of management and full partnership. That being said, we never promise everyone who works with us that they will definitely become a manager or partner. As with any company, not everyone who works with us will become C.E.O. of the company. We stress to all of our employees that our business requires a tremendous amount of hard work, a high level of confidence, and a degree of emotional and mental toughness that many people do not possess. While it is true that not every person who joins our company chooses to complete the management training program, the experience they gain while working with us is invaluable to their long term success and career advancement. Additionally, since opening in 2003, we have promoted several successful managers and provided many people the opportunity to become financially successful and independent. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and please feel free to contact me directly with any further questions about any information you may find online about our company. Some of the information may be true, but, as you know, the internet is an open forum, and you cannot believe everything you read online. Respectfully, Adam Dorfman President Dynamic Marketing Concepts, Inc. 770-817-4646
