B2BTexasResource is the brainchild of Tom Langland. The company's mission is to put the most valuable information into the hands of fresh entrepreneurial business owners. As the original concept began to form, Tom met Sarah Morin, CEO of Houston's Daily Court Review. Tom's years of printing experience and Sarah's experience in journalism and publication combined to create the B2BTexasResource Information Pack.

Web experience was the only missing piece from this strong team. After considering and interviewing a number of Web Development companies Tom and Sarah met with Chris Burres. Chris' proven track record as a quality website consultant and his abundant enthusiasm complemented the group perfectly.

Now B2BTexasResource is the only entity providing the most valuable information to fresh entrepreneurial business owners as they embark on the journey that is their entrepreneurial dream.

Tom started his post college career as a grocery store manager, which was a great opportunity but working weekends and holidays was not the life for Tom. Next Tom went into copier sales for about five years where he was very successful. While working in copier sales he came up with the idea for ImagePro, Inc.
Tom and his ImagePro partner Larry Skiles met 14 years prior when Larry was in the market for a color copier. Larry had no idea what he was getting into, Tom and Larry hit it off and instead of just selling him a copier Tom sold him on a business idea which was to become ImagePro, Inc. Now, 13 years later things are going great!!
B2B Texas Resource was born out of Toms new marketing idea for ImagePro. Tom was looking for a way to reduce his marketing costs and improve his marketing effectivness. This quest was a direct result of the significant costs associated with yellow page advertising.
The B2BTexasResource idea keeps growing and growing. Toms unwavering belief in the concept of helping businesses help them selves and helping businesses market directly to other business owners has caused Tom to sell his portion of ImagePro and devote his entire time and attention to B2BTexasResource. If you have ever spoken with Tom, even over the phone, you have an idea of how confident and enthustic Tom is regarding the B2BTexasResource concept.
