TAB Pittsburgh Member Experiences

“I have been a TAB member for three years now.  I have grown my business significantly and become profitable over that time and I give much credit to my Board and my coach.  The Board has given me several ideas for growing my revenues and has helped me with some tough decisions along the way.  My coach has held my feet to the fire on things that I probably would have let slip on my own.  He has also taken me through a strategic planning process that has really helped me focus my activities.  I continue to get value from TAB and I appreciate what it has done for me.  I highly recommend it.”

            Ken Doerbecker, Perfection Services Inc, Wexford, PA

“I feel that focusing on specific issues (which I choose) with a dedicated group of experienced and smart business owners has been very beneficial to my business.  In a very good way, I feel accountable (reporting back to our board) to take steps to resolve these issues.”

            Jim Carmody, The A588 & A572 Steel Company, Sewickley, PA

“TAB has been an enlightening experience for me. After 20 years in my own business, I now see business from a grander perspective through my coach and my Board. TAB has given me many ideas to grow our business and to massage operating areas for greater profitability. Wish I had had this opportunity years earlier.”

            Randy Abramovic, ProSource Integrated Marketing, Cranberry Twp., PA

“Since joining TAB I have been able to look at business issues through the eyes of others who have faced the same issues in their business. TAB provides a priceless wealth of information that enables me as a business owner to make informed decisions.  TAB has given me a group of peers that hold me accountable for the tasks I commit to within my business.”

            Bob Knochel, Quality Computer Services, Inc., Pittsburgh, PA

 “TAB is one of the best investments I have ever made.  The Return on Investment has been tremendous.  As the Master Card commercial says, "Priceless".  My coach has assembled a board that communicates well with one another, helps each other, and trusts one another in only three meetings.  I have reached out for help several times and the TAB board has responded beyond my expectations.  If you are fortunate enough to be offered a Board seat, do not pass it by.”

            Joe Nocito, Jr., Castle Mortgage Company, Pittsburgh, PA

“I tend to focus on what needs to be done in my business today, and TAB has greatly assisted me in stepping back from my day-to-day focus to manage my law firm for long term objectives.   The time I spend listening and learning during TAB meetings helps me be a better business advisor to my corporate clients.”

            Joe Weis, Lynch Weis, LLC, Cranberry Township, PA

“Having a group of business people dedicated to support my goals is one of the key reasons I’m a member of TAB.  We are there for each other and give some very direct counsel and direction to each other.  My Board and my coach have given me confidence and business perspective to move ahead in business areas; I might not have been as sure of myself or gotten the results so quickly without TAB.”
