Merrill,

The other outstanding thing about Steve is that while he is very well educated and extremley knowledgable, he is always approachable and very down to earth. Thank you Steve!

I’m proud to be a loyal Schlesinger client and happy to consider Steve, Debbie, Alan and many of the facility directors to be among my closest and most valued friends in the profession. Their sincerity, attention to detail and client focus set them apart from other qualitative facility companies and assure a consistent experience no matter where in the country (I haven’t used the London facilities yet!) my qualitative adventures take me.

Steve’s smarts, tireless energy and dedication towards continuous improvement for both his company and the industry are a unique combination in any business. But beyond that, he’s a lot of fun to hang out with…even if he can whip my butt in tennis, and also in golf!

I started out in this industry over 25years ago working as an interviewer for Steve’s mom Sarah Schlesinger. I loved working for her and got to know the family, they are all great. It is wonderful to have such dedicated professionals in our industry.

Hi Merrill and Steve,
I had an occasion to meet with Steve and his Operations Director in their NJ office over this past fall. From the moment we begun our meeting I could not help but be impressed by Steve’s sincerity and frankness about the indursty we’re all involved with. He was as kind and generous with his time and to this day greets me as warmly as he did on the first day I met him.
I would concur that Steve is a genunine great guy and thank you Merrill for pointing your spot light on Steve!

Steve is a superb professional who I have the good fortune of working for and with over the past 25 years. From Salsa Casara to City’s Best - Steve and his team of professionals (I have worked with several facilities in the past few years) have set the standard for the research industry - and have elevated it with their hard work, sense of professionalism and accountability. A quality that is often too rare in the industry. Thank you for highlighting Steve, his great work and that of this company. Cheers! Chet

Even though I don’t work for Steve and Debby I feel like that have adopted me. They are so warm and so genuine. I am thankful to call them my friends. They also have teriffic people working for them. Stephenie Gordon is on the Atlanta/SE Board with me and she is THE BEST.
Thanks for celebrating the Schlesingers, Merrill.

I would agree with Stephenie 100 %. Since I walked in the door just a few shorts months ago, I felt like part of the family. Steve’s a great boss with lots of great ideas and I am excited about what’s to come!

Merrill Dubrow, not Debrow. SORRY! I like to add extra “e”’s to everything.

You forgot to mention, that on top of all of his powerful business skills and interpersonal skills, he’s one good looking man…

In all seriousness, Merrill Debrow, you speak the truth; when you work for Schlesinger Associates, you are a part of the family. It also helps that most of our clients think all of the directors are brothers and sisters or at least cousins of Steve and Debby. I love the “so how are you related to Steve” phone calls! i just say “2nd cousin” and move forward.
