About Debbie
Allen, CSP
Debbie Allen, CSP has
built and sold numerous highly successful companies in diverse
industries. At the young age of 19 she became a built and successful
entrepreneur and part owner of a car rental business in northwest
Indiana. The rental company expanded into multiple businesses
including mini-storage facilities, used car lot, camper sales, towing
company, car wash, body shop and a towing company.
After learning how to
build multiple businesses from the ground floor up, she sold her
shares of the family business at age 30 and purchased her first retail
clothing store. Buying a small fledgling retail business with no
retail experience is not a wise move for most people, yet Debbie was
determined to make it work. Within three years she turned her new
passion for retail into a highly successful company, growing it 10
times over to a multi-million dollar business with multiple locations.
After 15 years in the retail industry she sold her successful stores
to three different owners, all for full asking price without a
business broker.
Debbie was honored by
the US Chamber of Commerce with the prestigious Blue Chip Enterprise
Award for overcoming business obstacles and achieving fast business
growth for her retail success in 1997. She now teaches the lessons of
'shameless' success with her innovative business-building strategies.
Her contagious enthusiasm for business and professional speaking began
in 1995. She started her speaking career as a retail expert and
quickly became one of world's top professional speakers to the retail
industry.
For the past 14 years
Debbie has presented keynotes, seminars and workshops for diverse
industries before thousands of people in 16 countries around the
world. She presents motivational sales and marketing presentations for
