This conference is focused on 3 main stages in your TAB journey
Caterpillar

Where it all begins. Are you hungry for members and learning the TAB systems and processes or maybe you want to learn best practice being taught to the newbies? This stream will help you to launch new boards, having meaningful conversations with prospects in the early stages and grow your business with a clear vision and achievable strategy.

Chrysalis

This is not a stage to stop and hibernate... you've done some great work to build momentum and get your business going - now is the time to make sure that hard work continues to pay off. Decisions around adding more boards, adding more people, thinking about additional training and offerings - you're ready to ask - what's next?

Butterfly

You've got the right support, the right members, the right pipeline, the right mindset - you're ready to think about the emerging opportunities available to you. What will your next evolution look like: building additional value in your business, raising your fees, doing more consultancy, or maybe even thinking about your legacy and what's next.

In addition, we'll have 3 great TAB basics to offer:

Acquisition
 

Everything related to member acquisition from finding and engaging with the right prospects through the sales process of turning cold/warm prospects into members.

Retention
 

How to retain the right members and troubleshoot when things aren't quite going to plan in board meetings and 1-2-1s. How to make sure members continue to get great value.

Running your
TAB business

Running a business needs processes that work and enable you to be as efficient as you are effective. Learn what your colleagues do to manage the day-to-day while planning ahead.

Amazing Guest Speakers

Andy Bounds – Sexy pricing: Quote it. Win it.

Andy Bounds
Charge more… in ways that customers like, agree with… and accept

Our members’ businesses buy things. Often paying a lot of money for them. So how we can help them want to give us lots of money too?! Andy will show you simple, new ways to build your confidence, skills and motivation to charge – and get – the price you’re worth (spoiler alert: he’ll probably mention ‘AFTERs’ … and how critical they are, when agreeing price)

 

Key Reasons To Attend This Session:

How often do you think ‘we’re about to negotiate price… oh good. I love this bit’?
 
Not often? Never?
 
Pricing is a critical skill. What to charge. How to say it. When to say it. Discount or not. How to build confidence.
 
Andy actually enjoys discussing price! He’s developed simple techniques for stating prices in a way that customers think is fair. And, more importantly, like. Such that they buy into – and buy from – us.
 
This presentation will teach new ways to do this, how to get great at it, the mistakes to avoid… the end result being: you’ll charge more than you do now, feeling more confident when you do – and more customers will say ‘yes’, more often

Mark Lewis – Performance management that doesn't suck

Graeme Codrington – Anti-Fragility
Graeme Codrington-1Anti-Fragility - thinking differently about the future for you and your members

One of the most important skills to develop in order to respond to disruption, to respond to deep structural change is adaptability - the ability to be responsive when our environment changes.  

Many people have been struggling with this, and Covid has shone a massive spotlight on many organizations that have been incapable of responding quickly enough to the changing world around them.

This session is designed to help you and your team upgrade your thinking to improve the way that you see the world around you, to improve the way that you think about your strategies, your plans, your targets, your goals, your projects and all the things that you need to do to be more responsive to change.

During this session you will learn:

  • Understand how the world is changing, and the many ways - big and small - that will never go 'back to normal'
  • Engage in sense-making, with which you can build strategies and plans for the rest of the 2020s and beyond
  • Grow in confidence in your ability to respond to change.
  • Reimagine what a new, exciting & different future might be.

Jamie Squires – The power of a weekly review
Jamie Squires-1Relax with a weekly review

You meet with others throughout the week to help get things done. But do you make time for what could be your most important meeting of the week?….A meeting with yourself!

By doing a Weekly Review you gain better sense of control over your work, nothing falls through the cracks, there’s less stress, and a clearer perspective for the days ahead.

 

AFTER this session you will:

  • Know what to include in your own Review
  • Have experience of doing a review (as part of the session)
  • Be ready to build your personal checklist to use in your own Weekly Review
