Poe, Gallegos & Company - Our Journey
At the age of 12, I was selling Christmas cards door-to-door in my neighborhood on the East Side of Houston. I learned then that selling is the greatest way to make a whole lot of money by being nice to people and giving them what they want. At 18, I was running my family's automobile company. And by age 25, with a finance degree in hand from the University of Texas in Austin, I was the up-and-coming sales executive in the environmental services industry ultimately responsible for the Western division of a $100 million company. I was 29 and the youngest Vice President to hold this position.
In 1993, I began providing sales management consulting and training, product development and marketing to various clients, ranging from food manufacturers, commercial printers, non-profit organizations, restaurants, to HVAC and remodeling contractors.
In 1998, I invited Carol Gallegos to become the first Managing Partner of our firm. Using her degrees in Mathmatics and Computer Information Systems, Carol has been instrumental in designing and delivering solutions to our Global high-tech clients.
Today, Carol and I continue traveling the U.S and abroad sharing our knowledge and experience, helping salespeople, sales managers, and business executives improve their selling skills. Our corporate motto, "Envision Yourself at a Higher Level" embodies the core of our vision and mission statements. Our desire and life's mission is to help corporations and individuals achieve a higher level of success.
