Why Join TAB?

In today’s rapidly changing world it’s more important than ever for business owners and leaders to free themselves from day-to-day tasks to spend time working "on" rather than "in" their business. But so many are held back by apprehensions about delegating leadership and losing control of important parts of their business. This is a typical example of how business leaders can find themselves stuck in a flat sales cycle with no clear path to grow.

TAB helps business owners and leaders to apply best practices to their specific challenges and opportunities. With our support, business owners create strategic and tactical plans that align to their business and personal visions, with metrics, actions, and clear accountability to see goals through to fruition. Addressing these areas taps the potential of businesses so they can grow unhindered, while enabling business owners and leaders to stay true to their personal vision.

TAB's Approach:

We offer a powerful, streamlined program that includes peer advisory boards, one-on-one coaching, workshops, robust tools, and connectivity to thousands of like-minded business owners and leaders.

Advisory Board Meetings with business leaders from non-competing industries provides a wealth of input, expertise, and perspectives for solving business problems and leveraging business opportunities, as well as the accountability to take action and get results.
Executive Coaching with an expert business coach focuses more deeply on the business challenges and opportunities discussed at advisory board meetings, the implementation of strategic action plans and the mapping of the path forward.
Cloud-Based Business Strategic Planning Tools provide cutting edge technology to capture, track and support business vision, planning, strategy, marketing, organizational design, team member accountabilities, business analysis, and KPI measures to help assess progress.

About Ted:

For over 30 years my passion has been helping people achieve their business and personal development goals.

I’ve had the good fortune to work with hundreds of business leaders and their teams to bring new products to market, exploit competitive advantage, strengthen employee engagement, and ultimately improve their bottom line.

Everything I bring to my clients comes from years of experience working and leading both large and small businesses across multiple industries. As the Canada Country Manager for Philips Lighting, I gained an appreciation for the challenges business owners face each day. And as the North American Head of Marketing, my experience orchestrating the transition of a billion traditional light bulbs to emerging LED solid state products helped me develop a strategic mindset.

I most enjoy working with small and medium-sized businesses, helping them to optimize the ideas and practices widely used by big business to best suit their needs. Marketing is just one example of where new technology can make any company appear bigger to their prospects.

I graduated from Bucknell University, and I have multiple certificates including coaching and training, project management, stage gate innovation process, and Design for Six Sigma. I’m also active in my church and community as a volunteer for a job-training program for recently incarcerated people and as an English tutor for Literacy NJ.

As a TAB member, through the regular coaching sessions and monthly Board meetings, I gain invaluable mentor and peer support. The TAB ethos and coaching approach has helped me to plan personal and business goals and set direction. This is supported by the wealth of knowledge, skills, experience and support that is shared by the board who provide Impartial, informed and considered guidance and advice on all types of business issues, that enable me to gain fresh perspectives, identify blind spots and fill my skill gaps. Over the last twelve months TAB has effectively become my company’s non-executive board and its members my trusted colleagues.

There is no silver bullet to becoming successful, you just have to stay focused on your goals. TAB has helped my business grow significantly by encouraging me to take a step back and identify the basics I need.

TAB helped me to focus on the things that have made my business scalable. I was tempted to divert my attention to another endeavor, but TAB helped me determine that was not prudent. The economy, and specifically new building starts, have helped, but the degree of capitalization would not have been possible were it not for TAB. I compare my situation with another franchise owner who was in my shoes several years ago and I am way ahead, in fact we just bought him out. My revenues have doubled, and my capacity has increased four times from what it was three years ago. I have time to be with my girls, work on my hobbies and enjoy life.

We have an excellent group of professional business owners. I learn something from them each month. Hearing and seeing what they are doing in their business is motivational for me. And they are not "yes" people. They tell me when I should be doing something differently.

My TAB coach has gotten me on track and kept me on track since 2005 toward the goals I’d originally stated," says Perlmeter. "I’m totally confident that we’ll continue to realize the vision that I have for the company in our second decade.

16 yrs. in business. Company was run like mom and pop shop for 14 years. Since joining TAB we have been able to identify our niche in the market and now the company is being run like a real company with focus and clarity as to where we are going and an actual plan on how we’re going to get there. Our company is poised to grow in size and wealth beyond my expectations and with TAB I will be able to sleep at night in the process.
