Houston Sales Leadership Community

HOUSTON SALES LEADERSHIP COMMUNITY

The Houston Sales Leadership Community was co-founded by the University of Houston and SOAR Performance Group to create a forum for best practice sharing and executive networking within the greater Houston area.

The community is a cross industry organization of senior sales leaders focused on building a community within the Houston market for advancing best practices in sales leadership.
It also creates networking and mentoring opportunities for Houston senior sales executives with the University of Houston students participating in the Stephen Stagner Sales Excellence Institute.
The community is led by the advisory board with representatives from companies that represent different industries and go-to-market models.
In addition to the meetings that include panel discussions on sales leadership topics, the community also provides online options for participation.
Recordings from the panel discussion will be posted in the previous events section.
An online discussion group is available on LinkedIn.
