Solving Small Business Challenges

Jesse From Jesse's Barbershop

Holy Crap what a great episode. Bob is humble and tells about his failures and how they brought him to this now 2 location successful coffee shops! "you pay and tip before you even taste the coffee so the experience better be amazing" This is what he empowers his staff to strive for. Would love your comments www.davidtabb.net

Interview #13 - Bob at Sip Java

Great story from a owner with a huge heart for her staff. The salon business is so much different than any other. Dealing with artists for staff is one thing, but they are controlling how people look! Wait till you hear how they handle customer expectations. Thank you so much for listening . www.davidtabb.net

Interview #12 - Debbie at Split Endz Salon

Listen to how many times he says the word fresh referring to his food and prepared on how he runs his business. The answer to the last question is amazing!! If you aren't doing it you are not happy with your business. Big thanks to our sponsor the Rob Nichols insurance group!! https://www.robertnicholsinsurancegroup.com/ davidtabb.net

Interview #11 - Jeff at Palm Shores Bistro

A straight shooter with an interesting take on how to make it in the pizza business. This one tested my interview skills (which I just make up as I go) I hope you enjoy this episode. Would love your thoughts on the delivery service concept...Good or Bad for restaurants?

Interview #10 - Alex at the Garlic Knot

What a great story. As an immigrant she worked hard and has an amazing thriving business. She has some interesting insights into today's market and her next evolution. Here advise for tomorrows business owners..."come back down to the ground." She got caught in that trap too.

Interview #9 - Naheed at the Griddle

Ron new that he had a winner when he bought the franchise...but he was a recruiter. To his surprise a lot of his skills were transferable. I love how he uses his social to not only acquire customer but to also recruit staff!!! Something can really be learned from his outside perspective.

Interview #8 - Ron at Sub Zero

One of my favorite people in the world. He was and still is a mentor of mine. When people ask me about how much time I give away and why....listen to how he drilled that culture into me. Jimi has some of the same obstacles but how he comes to the conclusion is much different than i have ever heard before. Hope you enjoy this. dtabb@welcomematservices.com www.welcomematservices.com

Interview #7 - Jimi at Best Boat Club & Rentals

What a great interview. Marco is a 2nd generation owner of a great PIZZA place. You know how I admire this industry. His mentality towards quality..many say they have it..he really does. He holds his staff to the same standard and doesn't put himself above doing any job in the restaurant. The it factor - striving for perfection knowing it is not possible. www.welcomematservices.com dtabb@welcomematservices.com 754-222-8261

After listening to small business owners for years complain about employees its time for change. The people who will listen to this and not get it are the ones that need it the most.

Interview #5 - Andy at Salon6

Holy crap this is amazing. If you don't get something out of this...stop listening. Joe is as genuine as they get. His customer first mentality has made him not only a business leader but also a community icon. There is real power in being able to step away from your business to network or go visit potential customers. So many business owners are fearful to let go.....because they don't empower their staff. At first it may be tough but it pays off in the long run. Watch the wrap up: http://bit.ly/1kcta6h
