Hear from our Glasgow members
You don’t know what you don’t know but when you bring topics into the board you get a lot of experience shared. I didn’t know things about acquisitions, raising capital, buying companies and the culture of a company - because I hadn’t done that before. That business experience, the wealth of experience in the room, is probably the biggest advantage that you get from the board.
It’s having an ear to call on. Speaking to other business owners and understanding how they solved problems. Be it recruitment, growing your business or just managing your staff.
FAQ's
TAB's business support in Glasgow is an excellent choice for you and your business. Here are just three reasons why business owners would benefit from TAB:
- Our Glasgow business coach has experience
Campbell has over two decades worth of business experience throughout many industries. His success in working in both operational and commercial roles makes him a great asset and support for any business owner. He is ultimately passionate about helping business owners in Glasgow lead better lives and run stronger businesses. - TAB's business support starts with you
Rather than focusing on your strategic or recruitment problems straight away, our services start with you, the business owner. We want to help you identify what you want from life, and then we can work with you to grow your business so you achieve that personal vision. - A combination of complementary services
At TAB in Glasgow, you don't just get business coaching, but those sessions are complemented really well with our advisory boards and our exclusive online strategic planning platform. This means through our support services, you'll have every avenue covered to grow your business and become a better leader.
Unlike traditional business meetings that many of us have experienced, a TAB board gives everyone equal time - equal time to discuss and seek help on their own challenge or opportunity. There is a structured process for the running of the meeting which means everyone also has the opportunity to give their own advice and opinion. We don't allow one person to 'hog' a meeting!
In combination with the TAB meeting, members also get access to our business coaching services.
The other business owners and leaders on your board will be very experienced and will have no vested interest in your business, other than a desire to help you. As a result, they'll give you impartial business advice based on real-world experience because often they will have faced similar challenges themselves. What's even greater is you get to do the same for them. Not only does the board provide accountability and expert advice, it becomes a mechanism for developing valuable friendships.
If you have decided you want to improve yourself and your business, but feel like you don't have the time, how will that change if you don't take action?
TAB encourages you to take time away from your business and benefit from the insight, experience, and wisdom of your TAB facilitator and your fellow board members. It's a chance to take a step back. This way, you can actually save time by making better decisions and learning from others.
Whilst all businesses are unique in some way, they still face many of the same major issues with time, people, strategy, money, vision and exit.
You are an expert in your sector, but we are all experts in business. The advantage of working with fellow business owners and leaders from diverse backgrounds is their ability to provide new perspectives and different ways to handle the same situation based on real world experience.
You will also get the opportunity to help others with their business growth, by offering your perspective and advice. It's a win-win!
We are confident you will get a return on investment for your monthly TAB membership fee. As we offer personalised business support services, a conversation with your nearest TAB facilitator will guide you through the process and allow them to provide you with your bespoke quote.
We’re so confident in our service that we offer a money-back guarantee - if you don’t feel you’ve received value after three months of TAB membership, we’ll give your money straight back.
Put simply, no – a competitor cannot join your board. We have a comprehensive process which makes sure that you do not sit on a board with potential competitors. A key part of our screening process allows existing members to prevent new members from joining their board where they feel a conflict of interest could exist. This will guarantee no competitors join your group.
Some of our TAB facilitators offer the opportunity to attend a TAB Taster Board Meeting, giving you the chance to experience how TAB works and the value it can provide for you and your business. Equally, if there are places on an existing board and your facilitator thinks you'd be a good fit, they may invite you as a guest. Contact Campbell to find out more.
