Hi, I’m Alison!

Welcome to Abambyh (uh-BAM-bee) Business Coaching. My name is Alison Hartrum, and I am so excited that you’re here! Early in my childhood, I developed a strong passion for sales. In fact, I won my first sales competition in the first grade! Since those younger years, I’ve had an array of formal training — both in and out of the classroom. While at the University of Louisville, I was a proud member of their national sales competition team which helped prepare me for a future in sales. Immediately following graduation, I dove headfirst into the corporate world. Working my way up the ladder, I received several accolades including Partner of the Year, and subsequently, Top 20 Partner, nationally. I have hired, trained, and developed hundreds of sales professionals throughout my career who have also gone on to receive prestigious awards and admirable promotions. After retiring from the corporate world, there was an influx of women entrepreneurs who approached me for help with their own businesses. They were tenacious business leaders working in different industries at different phases of their career, but they had one thing in common — a desire for exponential growth. Question by question, queen by queen, Abambyh Business Coaching was born. The purpose of Abambyh Business Coaching is to bring small business owners to the next level. Through proper planning, organization, time management, accountability, and a deep understanding of the sales process, my clients will acquire the skillset and confidence necessary to thrive within their respected industries. I am beyond grateful to be given the platform where I can share my knowledge with you. Let’s make some magic happen!
