“You don’t have to be great to get started, but you do have to get started to be great.”
– Debbie Mrazek

Debbie Mrazek loves sales. That's why she named her highly successful consulting practice The Sales Company. What Debbie loves even more than sales is empowering people to sell and achieve more!

Debbie knows her craft and combines it with insightful business knowledge. This dynamic combination allows her to offer keen insight and to pinpoint gaps in performance. Her down-to-earth approach hits a home run with entrepreneurs and front-line salespeople and c-level executives from Fortune 500 companies. She and her team help companies turn around sales - and profits - in record time.

A learning session with Debbie is an experience highlighted by energy, enthusiasm and passion. She turns sales training into a sales celebration. In her top-rated presentations, she provides insights gleaned from her 20-year career that started with technology giant Texas Instruments and continued through the technology outsourcing revolution, and included the newly formed Compaq Computers as well as others like Abbott Laboratories, Tandy Electronics, Motorola and Alcatel, just to name a few.

Her unmistakable warmth and nurturing manner provide a safe haven for those who proclaim, "I HATE SALES!" And, her one dose kick-in-the-butt attitude combined with three parts nurturing is what veterans say is “just what they needed to get the selling fire burning again.”

Debbie’s clients include foreign governments, Fortune 500 companies, family-owned businesses and solopreneurs from around the world. Her client list includes technology giants Texas Instruments, Alcatel, State Farm, Merrill Lynch, and Chevron. She has spoken to many organizations, including eWomenNetwork, The Metroplex Technology Business Council, Sales and Marketing Executives International, Moore Stephens North America, and Office Depot Women's Conference Series.

Debbie’s passion for giving back is the cornerstone of who she is. A passion for the technology community in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex led Debbie to become a member of The Metroplex Technology Business Council, where she worked with others to develop the highly successful Third Friday Lunch Series. From there, the Business Council built a Texas-size technology awards event, Tech Titans, which honors the area's fastest growing tech companies. In 2006, after a dedicated 5-year term as the event chairman, Debbie was awarded the Tech Titan Community Hero Award for her volunteer effort not only with Tech Titans, but also with other technology community efforts.
Debbie has been recognized and nominated for awards by Altrusa International - Richardson Chapter, YWCA - Richardson Chapter, Tech Titans and many others. A local and national speaker, Debbie has spoken at blockbuster conferences such as IEEE, Profiles In Power and CISA. She also has emceed STARTech's STARTCamps and has moderated the company's stakeholder advisory boards for the past two years.

Debbie will publish her first book, The Field Guide to Sales, July 2007. She is dedicating it to all of those individuals who know they are a top 10% sales professional and just haven’t collected enough evidence to prove it yet!

Debbie holds a degree in Management with a specialization in Organizational Behavior from the University of Houston.

Aside from her busy professional life, Debbie has been married to husband Tommy for 28 years. They have two children, Jason and Jennifer, two beagles, Happy and Hayley, Season the cat and a three-legged wonder cat named Fluffy.
