The DFC Network

Since its creation in 1930, the Dirigeants Commerciaux de France network brings together men and women whose main occupation is the commercial development of their business, the improvement of its results, and the performance and competitive spirit in the company. Present across the country, the network counts more than 2500 people in its membership, split over 75 local associations across France and the overseas territories. Whether they be small or medium-sized business owners, managers in international companies, commercial directors, sales directors, marketing education leaders or students in management programs, everyone shares the same philosophy. United around strong values (ethics, engagement, solidarity, sharing), the DCF put customer satisfaction at the heart of debate, as a part of their sustainable profit strategy. In order to be able to anticipate and develop projects that are linked to the reality of the market, the DCF also created the Observatoire Permanent de la Fonction Commerciale (OPFC) in 1998, a monitoring center for commercial occupations. .
