Detroit Business Consulting Supports Toys for Tots

Detroit Business Consulting is in the Christmas spirit!  The Christmas tree is up in the lobby, decorations are hung, and we did our first charity donation of the season.  The Michigan State Police have teamed up with Toys for Tots to "Stuff a Blue Goose".  The police department is helping to promote donations for Toys for Tots and when donors purchase toys, they stuff them into the blue police cars designated for the charitable giving.  Detroit Business Consulting CEO Michael Rosenberg commented that the police car was so full, they literally had to "stuff" their toys inside.

Let the season of giving begin!

Detroit Business Consulting will be celebrating its 6 year anniversary on October 27th!  Six years ago, the president of DBC, Michael Rosenberg, opened his sales and marketing firm, representing one Fortune 100 company.  Since then, Michael Rosenberg has been contracted with eight major clients and expanded his company's portfolio to include a charity division.  Throughout the years, he has received numerous awards and nominations both personally and professionally, including Promoting Owner of the Year, a Power 30 Under 30 Nomination, and his company was named a Top Workplace in Metro Detroit in 2011 and 2012.

When asked what he is most excited about for the upcoming year, Michael elaborated on the growth that is on track for the charity campaign with Children International and Comcast Business Class.  "These are two major clients that we have built a strong partnership with," Michael explained.  "The charity division allows us to make a difference with our work on an international level on a daily basis, and provide a business opportunity with growth for the team we have working at our Troy office."  Michael also spoke positively about the team of people working at Detroit Business Consulting and the growth he sees for them in 2014.  "We have international expansions happening, especially with the Australia market that just opened, and we are going to capitalize on these business opportunities."

Detroit Business Consulting Promotes Kyle Norman to Assistant Management

Detroit Business Consulting celebrated a special promotion last week; Kyle Norman was promoted to assistant management!  Kyle excelled in the sales and marketing from day one at Detroit Business Consulting.  He joined the team with sales experience and a competitive drive that was formed through his sports background. Kyle was able to redirect that competitiveness in a healthy way to his work and saw consistent results.

In order the achieve this promotion, Kyle had to prove that he could excel in the sales and marketing, but also in training others.  To be a true leader, one has to be able to pass knowledge on to others, and that is one of Kyle's biggest strengths.  Working on the Comcast Business campaign, Kyle is known for being the go-to guy if anyone has a question about product knowledge, promotions or a technical question.

.  In his promotion speech, Kyle explained that it's imperative to know where you are going and what you are going to accomplish. He advised to work harder every single day than you did the previous day because if you're working towards a goal, it only makes sense to get there faster rather than slower. This was Kyle's second promotion within the company, and we are sure there will be many more to come. We are looking forward to that!

The conference included speakers from Australia, the UK, South Africa and Canada.  There were also representatives there from Spain and several European countries. Each of these individuals has been extremely successful entrepreneurs and they shared their stories and advice with everyone there.

Several awards were also distributed during the conference.  Our office took home seven awards! Brian Olley received an award that recognized the growth and improvement he has had since joining our company.  Christian Swanson, Nicole Lysak, Jessica Hoopfer, Aaron Redmond and Kyle Norman all received awards to recognize their leadership skills, sales ability, and coaching talent.  Elizabeth Reichert also took home an award for Administrator of the Year.  It was an amazing conference and it seems that everyone came back with a renewed perspective on business and what their goals are.

As always, we are excited for the next one!

Detroit Business Consulting President, Michael Rosenberg, just returned from The Big Apple where he was speaking at a conference for sales, marketing and nonprofit professionals from around the country.

Detroit Business Consulting, Inc. Supports Camp Quality

Detroit Business Consulting, Inc. helped support Camp Quality last week at their event at Buffalo Wild Wings in Troy.  Upon request, a portion of the sales from last Wednesday went toward Camp Quality.  Camp Quality helps provide children with cancer with year-round programs, experiences and companionship at no cost to the families.

Detroit Business Consulting's account manager, Jessica Hoopfer, is involved with Camp Quality and she initiated Detroit Business Consulting's involvement in the non-profit organization.  Detroit Business Consulting is also launching their first charity campaign in 3 weeks and Jessica will be helping to lead that campaign.

Thanks to everyone who came out Wednesday to support Camp Quality!

Detroit Business Consulting, Inc. Promotes Laura Bolter to Assistant Management

Detroit Business Consulting, Inc. promoted Laura Bolter to assistant management yesterday!  This is an impressive accomplishment within the company because it requires the mastery of many skills, including training, interviewing, sales and personal development.  Laura's path to assistant management was very short, considering she only started working with the company in late August of 2012.  Since Detroit Business Consulting, Inc. operates on a merit-based system of advancement, Laura's determination and natural ease with working with the public helped her hit her goal of assistant management very quickly.

Laura had little experience in sales and marketing before taking on her position as an Account Manager with Detroit Business Consulting, Inc. She received her degree in communication from Oakland University and was able to apply her communication skills to her new position at our company.  Since being promoted, Laura will learn more of the office management side of the business and continue to develop her skills in the sales and marketing field.  After her promotion, Laura said, "I'm most excited about the next step and continued growth and I'm going to have with the company, as well as having a direct hand in helping other people reach their own personal and professional goals."  We are all excited for your next step too Laura!

 

Detroit Business Consulting Attends Lions Game for Office Competition

Detroit Business Consulting's president Michael Rosenberg had a competition for the office last week for a chance to go to the Detroit Lions game.  Among the winners of the competition was Jesse Foley. Jesse said, "The game was really fun and it was a great experience for me to bond with my boss and my coworkers!"

Detroit Business Consulting also just wrapped up their 12 Days of Turkeys and Trees competition which encompassed the Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays.  Prizes for this competition included an iPad, a 42" TV, a new suit or pair of shoes, a day in the office with the management team, and of course a cardboard cut-out was in the mix of prizes too. Office competitions give us a chance to work hard, be rewarded, and have some fun while doing it!
