“Having hired and worked with Deborah Flate for her role of Mid West Regional Sales Director for Larsen, I cannot say enough about her good qualifications, and great success in this position. Because she so well understood the product, sales and the dynamics of managing both staff and clientele, she was able to turn around an ailing organization, and make it a profitable one. She did this with hard work and humor, two essential elements of success in sales.”
