Phil is a TAB Business Owner, business coach, and peer group facilitator (TAB Northern Colorado, Partner), as well as a member of the franchise development team with The Alternative Board (Worldwide). His mission is to help local business owners and qualified franchise candidates make fully informed decisions about whether TAB is the right vehicle to achieve their personal vision of success – whether as a local TAB advisory board member or as a new TAB Business Owner.
Phil’s passion for business and people has taken him to more than 15 countries to conduct sales training and to help others launch new business ventures. His strengths include training and consulting in sales process, sales skills, and sales acceleration, along with team leadership, performance coaching, and team conflict mitigation. His extensive experience brought him to TAB in 2014, initially as a sales trainer, then as Director of Membership Acquisition. He personally supported the on-site launch of more than 50 TAB business units in the US, as well as 9 master franchisees in Mexico, Spain, France, Austria, South Africa, and India. His recent partnership in TAB Northern Colorado will allow him to bring his passion and experience to serve business owners of Boulder County and Northern Colorado.
Phil joined the private sector in 2004, after a 20-year public agency and non-profit organization career to launch Flame Communications, LLC., a business development consulting firm. From 2010 to early 2014, Phil led business development for Novo Energy and Oilfield Distributing, where he helped develop energy projects and managed equipment and professional service sales throughout their US and international markets.
My biggest financial win so far with TAB is generating over $50K in new revenue from existing clients based on applying wisdom from my fellow board members. What really fires me up though is the greater client impact I've been able to have as a direct result of deepening and expanding these consulting engagements.
