We all love comfort zones, don’t we?
We go along, business as usual, utilizing our knowledge and experience in ways that have always served us quite well, thank you very much. But here’s the problem with inhabiting our comfort zones a bit too long. They become like those notorious beanbag chairs of the ‘70’s. Almost impossible to get out of – gracefully, anyway. Then, surprise! someone tips us over and suddenly, we find ourselves flat on our backs.

The Interior Design
Industry has been
an all-consuming
passion of mine for
over two decades.
Working in its trenches, I’ve been observing a sea change that has been developing into a tsunami: Too many companies in the Industry have become complacent. Their comfort zones are being “tipped over” by a myriad of influences they didn’t see coming. Regardless of how sublime their products may be, they’re now finding themselves flat on their backs. And falling behind.
I’m just guessing…but could that be you?

“I can’t say enough!! I just can’t!! Thank you, Deborah. I had a great July because after our first week I began implementing “Intentional Selling” techniques".
Gwen..Kravet Showrooms
“After 20 years of doing this, I thought I was doing everything right. Just doing techniques in session 1 opened the floodgates! Thanks so much”.
Mike..Kravet
“Your techniques are certainly helping to uncover some business that I may not have found before. So, thank you!!!”
Scott..Baker Furniture
“I absolutely have been applying the program and definitely feel it has had a positive effect on my sales, thank you for that! I am up in total YOY 40% and up in textiles 80% YOY”
Kristin..Holly Hunt
“Your talk was the perfect ending to Brentano’s sale meeting. It was refreshing to see and hear your take on the industry and presentations… I will be following you on your sales blog so I can continue to learn, be inspired and implement those great ways of growing my sales”.
Jill Brookover - Paul+ Atlanta, Georgia
In the last decade, so many factors have been upending the Interior Design arena.
Once considered a hassle, purchasing products directly online has become the incredibly convenient norm, offering clients an endless supply of stores, product choices, virtual demonstrations, friendly “chat” support, competitive pricing — even next-day delivery. The explosion of social media? Don’t get me started. The competition coming at you from rapidly changing trends and technology is relentless.
My point is, whether you’re a CEO, Sales Manager or Sales Representative in the Interior Design Industry, no doubt you’re feeling the heat. “Business as usual” is no longer cutting it — and could even be causing you to lose more business than you may realize. So. How do you cut through? Obviously, something has to change. But what changes can you make that your Sales force is willing to embrace, organically execute and that will lead to increased revenues – and profits?
Hello. I’m Deborah Flate. Welcome to my website!
I can’t wait to show you around. To tell you about my revolutionary – yes, revolutionary, proven sales training and business strategies that have helped hundreds of my clients make the changes that have grown their businesses beyond expectations. I’ve got powerful secrets. I’m eager to spill.
The future belongs to those who adapt, my friends. That being the case, grab a chair (anything but a beanbag) and let’s explore all the ways I can get your business not just back on its feet. But running ahead of whatever curve the unpredictable future may throw.
