Houston businessman Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale as
our keynote speaker for 2009!A one-man whirlwind of the “ready, fire, aim” variety, Mack is a retail force like no other. In 1981, with a failed business and a bankruptcy behind him, he arrived in Houston with just $5,000 and a nothing-will-stop-me determination to open a furniture store. During the next 28 years, Gallery Furniture sold more per square foot of retail space than any store in the world, ringing up sales of more than $200 million per year. That’s BIG!
The core of this keynote will be The Seven Principles of Marketing and Management, and they’re the compass points that can guide you, too, in solving problems, making decisions, and delighting customers. Mack’s lessons are applicable to work, career, community involvement, and life. They are specific, practical, and powerful.
