- Steve Baker, President, Business Technology Associates (BTA)
"With TAB my fellow board member's livelihood doesn't depend on their relationship to me, so they are very free to speak their mind. With company meetings you don't have the same freedom. I like the results that come out of TAB."
- Mark McCooey, President, S.E.I. Industries
"At first when I was approached to join TAB, I felt like it was going to be "too expensive" since my business was struggling financially. After I joined, however, it became apparent that I couldn't afford NOT to be a member. In fact, within just a couple of months, I got one tip that saved me an immediate $16,000 and a lot of headaches. Each meeting and coaching session produces new awareness and keeps me on the path that is taking me in the direction I finally need to be on. It's like the MasterCard commercial: Cost of TAB sign up—$X, Cost of monthly membership—$X, Going to sleep each night feeling assured that my business is on the right track, and I have a great support system to back me up—priceless!"
- Catherine Turner, President/CEO, Success Concepts Online
