Business Machine 0044 - Tom Schwab

Today on the Business Machine we have Tom Schwab. Tom is a Michigander Navy Veteran who is a self-identified "Marketing Engineer." He is an author, speaker, and teacher who helps you get more traffic, leads, and raving customer fans by being interviewed on podcasts--like this one!

Mission:

He hopes to show people the importance of podcasts and how they can help spread the word of what you're doing as a business, and turning listeners into leads by connecting with them on more of an one-on-one basis.

Mistake: 

He wishes he didn't have such a strong case of "Superman Syndrome" when he first started out, and instead allowed others to do what he really couldn't do all the time.

Business Machine 0043 - Elizabeth Dukes

Today on Business Machine we have Elizabeth Dukes. Elizabeth is a partner and executive vice president of iOffice Incorporated. iOffice Inc. has provided innovative facilities, management, and solutions to hundreds of Fortune 1000 incorporations since 1989 and focuses on the marketing sales, customer solution implementation, and ongoing customer satisfaction. 

Mission:

She hopes to deliver software that helps the workspace become a more productive and engaging environment so workers will feel more comfortable moving around within their work environments.

Mistake:

In the beginning, she wishes she had asked more questions to those who are leaders within specific areas of the field so she could understand what to do more easily without relying on them so much. She also wishes she didn't go for a consulting deal thus couldn't produce much of anything for the software.
