- Purpose of The Alternative Board TAB Is to provide affordable, practical business advice to its members. It’s a sounding board for your ideas. A brain-trust is another word. The TAB Board is the place you can rely on for help and answers. TAB is a great place to share resources. You can toss your yellow pages out the window. If you are looking for a network system for your computers or a new accountant, someone in your board can give you a recommendation so you don’t have to experiment by dialing up strangers.It’s a think tank environment. It’s a place where you can bring your new ideas, products and plans for the board to help you work through. Many of our members use TAB as a focus group. Say you have a new brochure you are coming out with…bring it to your board for them to analyze before you actually use it to attract potential customers.Use you board as a focus group whether you are marketing to B to B or B to C your board can give you insight to all your sales and marketing concepts. We have an expression in TAB “You Don’t Know What You don’t know” will come alive to you, when you hear ideas that can make a difference in your business that you had no concept of. TAB is not actually a networking organization, but because of our bonding process you will make close friends and develop additional business through your fellow members and the contacts they have. But that is not the reason to join TAB.You all have the God given right to procrastinate. If we give you a solution to a problem and you come back to your board a couple of months later and have not addressed the problem yet, a few things will happen: First, you will get plenty of lip from your fellow members. Next, we won’t let you bring up another problem until you have taken care of the original one. Last but not least, we will make you pay for the donuts, and we eat about a thousand donuts at each meeting.Just one good idea from any one of your board meetings could change your life for the better.
- Typical Member Issues Speaking of problems and issues, you probably can’t bring up a topic that hasn’t been covered in a TAB Board at one time or another. (you should refer to issues that the prospect mentioned if they appear in this slide)Cash flow is always an important issue. If you are a Family business you probably have issues other than just the business type. Developing marketing and sales plans. Let me stop for a minute, I would like to ask you all a question. I recall that increasing sales is a major issue for most of you and thus marketing becomes a key challenge. The question I have for you is how do you differentiate yourself from the competition? Or, to put it another way , why would I do business with you vs. your competitors? Many of you do not have a clear differentiation, except service. (Ask up to five people what their answer would be) (Typically almost none will really have a difference that their competitors probably don’t have or would say) Let them know that. Go over the definition of service…Deliver the product or service on time - at a fair price - standup for the product or service you delivered if faulty (Tell the Rose Story:)Succession-planning: How do you bring your children into your business, or how do you even get your children interested in your business? If you are not planning to pass your business on to family or a partner, what is the exit strategy for your business? You have put a lot of effort, time and money into your business. One of the only ways you may achieve financial income is by the sale of your business.Dealing with an uncooperative partner. That’s never a problem. Is it?
