Listen to what TAB Business Owners have to say about their key to success - Boards of trusted Advisors

1. What is the one common “Key to Success” with these 2010 Inc 5000 Recipients?<br />The Alternative Board® (TAB)<br />695% Growth in 3 years“Lucinda has helped me grow my business 695% in just 4 years. She challenged me to do projects differently. Without her I would have never accepted a project remote (500 miles away). This project has turned into a 10 year exclusive master contract worth approximately $10-15M and is opening doors to brand name customers. She has given us great ideas. By 2008, we could do all the measurements, pictures and collection of drawings at the customer site and have the estimate emailed to them prior to our driver getting back to the office. With changing the way we work to remote mobile office units, I can be the expert at the office and manage more projects at the same time.” Since this major change this has led to new customers and several major deals.Kimberly May, President & CEO, WnR, Inc., 2010 Inc 500 Recipient43% Growth in 2009,Despite the economy“I have a friend who tried to get me to visit his TAB meeting for several years. I finally attended a free TAB Luncheon which was filled with great information that was also “no pressure.” As president of a company with 25% growth per year over the last 3yrs and a staff increase from 6 to 23 over the last 2.5 yrs, the ideas, suggestions and time I have saved since I joined TAB in July 2008 has been invaluable. Since my company does not have a separate sales, marketing, or legal department, and my accountant and attorney only know certain aspects of my company, the sharing of issues and potential solutions with my peers has been invaluable. Additionally, several outside speakers invited to our TAB board monthly meetings have shared invaluable information regarding marketing, collections, and other topics. With TAB, my company has just achieved an outstanding record year of a 43% increase in revenue in 2009, 18% higher than the year before while only increasing staff by seven additional people in 2009!”Bill Bryan, President, Microconsult, Inc., 2010 Inc 5000 Recipient, 2009 North Texas TAB’s, “Embodiment of TAB’s Principles & Values” Recipient57% Growth,Since 2006 “The main value of TAB is in utilizing the collective experience of the 4 to 6 business owner-peers who act like your company’s very own Board of Directors. First and foremost is the realization that you are not alone, meaning that most business issues are common amongst business owners, regardless of what industry your company is in and whether or not you are selling a product or a service. Because of this, the various TAB members provide you with meaningful creative solutions to your business problems based on their collective experiences in ways that you may not have considered before. Also, as the CEO of an organization it is rare that someone will hold you accountable for implementation of these solutions, but your TAB member board and facilitator will.”Jeff Meisner, President, Skyline DFW Exhibits, 2010 Inc 5000 Recipient, “TAB Board Member of the Year” Recipient for DallasMetroWest in 2007<br />Out of 29.6M small businesses only 0.02% achieves Inc 500:5000, “Nation’s Fastest Growing Businesses”.
