Using her prior experience in management and sales, her insightful recommendations and follow through helped us to increase our market share during difficult economic times.

- Traveled to each territory on a consistent basis to support, train and motivate showrooms and outside sales forces.
- Indentified showroom and representative sales goals that resulted in SALES INCREASE”.

“Deborah is very knowledgeable about the interior design business. Her multifaceted experiences and insights enable her to wisely advise clients. She has proven right many times with her direction of our product, sales and branding strategy”. Iris Wang (Vice President of Design and Marketing for Brentano Fabrics)
“Deborah’s input was remarkable for my business. I learned to let go of my old ideas and approach my clients with an “expert” attitude. Becoming a perceived expert around the products I sell puts me steps ahead of my competing vendors and instills a subtle confidence in the minds of my clients. She also taught me how to arrange my appointments in such a way that I wasn’t “spinning my wheels” ~ Time really is money. Knowing which clients are truly an A or B account is subject to the amount of orders they produce each year – not because a certain client may be reputable and therefore would “seem” to be a time-worthy appointment. Working with Deborah was indeed thought provoking and instrumental in the way I conduct business. She really does have this down to a science”

“Deborah Flate is someone I had worked with when I was designing textiles for Jack Lenor Larsen. She was a great person to work with and she always had great ideas outside the box which really helped move Larsen forward. If you do find you need someone with her specific talents, I would highly recommend her”.
