Growth from Leveraging OPP Other People’s Platforms | Tom Schwab
We have today’s edition of Live With Bottleneck Mr. Tom Schwab. He is the Founder and Chief Evangelist Officer of Interview Valet, which helps business owners connect with their ideal audience through other people’s platforms. He shares ideas on how businesses can further grow through other people’s platforms.
Right Way to Break in the Noise
Tom starts off by telling that the best way to grow business is to grow your brand. He shares that one of the best ways to grow your brand is to personally introduce it to ideal customers. He elaborates that business owners can join the conversation that their customers are already in even on other people’s platforms.
“Targeted podcast interviews is a great way to go out there to get your message heard, to get trust and to really build that relationship with customers.” – Tom Schwab
Power of Digital Platform
Tom says that during this pandemic, digital stages are powerful now more than ever. He adds that this has also become a substitute for the people who have stage fright but need to get their messages out there. Tom also discusses that in podcasts, there are various people whom you can come across.
“There are three types of people in podcasts: the first one says ‘Tom is an idiot.’ The other ones are those who say, ‘well that was interesting but maybe I can share that with somebody but I don’t need it right now really.’ The last ones that you talked to were the ones that go ‘wow.’” – Tom Schwab
Beyond the Ceiling
Tom says that business often hit the limit of their engagement with their usual audience. He mentions a phenomenon called “obscurity” wherein owners have this product or service that can help others but people don’t know its existence. He elaborates that when the upper ceiling has been hit, the need to tap into other people’s audiences arises. Tom shares that it is during this time that the services of his company are tapped.
“Podcasters want to have three types of people on their podcast: their friends, their friends of friends, and people they want to be their friends. We really help in that second one – friends of friends. We’ve got those relationships.” – Tom Schwab

Meet Jaime Jay – a man who wears many hats, and wears them all admirably. He's a master connector, an entrepreneur extraordinaire, and a published author who knows how to get things done.
Before he found his way to the business world, Jaime served his country as a brave paratrooper in the U.S. Army. But that's just the beginning of his many accomplishments.
He's the founder of the renowned Bottleneck Distant Assistant Services firm, and his book "Quit Repeating Yourself" has become a must-read for entrepreneurs everywhere.
When he's not busy building his empire, you can find him on his beloved Harley Davidson, cruising through the countryside and taking in the invigorating effects of Uitwaaien – a Dutch practice that involves facing the wind to boost health and relieve stress.
He enjoys spending his free time outside building stuff with his wife, Nikita the dog and their two kittens (for now at least) Tommy and Tater.
He is ‘over-the-moon’ happily married to his wonderful wife Sara, his amazing daughter, Jessica, who is serving our country as a United States Army soldier. Jaime and Sara are the proud grand parents of two beautiful little girls.

Jeff Peñaflor2022-09-14I started last March 24, 2021 as a Dedicated Distant Assistant and it was an awesome experience. In this new journey, as Security Administrator of Bottleneck Distant Assistants, I have been supported by the team, A LOT !!!! All help that I need, the whole team is there to support me. I know that there are a lot of room for improvements with my skills and what I know, but because of BNDA, I became equipped with all the weapons I need to conquer the daily challenges especially with my tasks. With BNDA, they will not just help you to aim high, but soar the skies!

Ma. Edeliza Silot2022-09-07Aside from the knowledge gained, the trainers are highly commendable.
Sara Knox2022-09-07What an awesome business! Finally, a way to hire the RIGHT person for my administrative tasks and they are remote! No office space to consider, W2's, 1099's or payroll. Jaime and his team of remote workers are top-notch! I hired my first assistant in May. I recently suffered a motorcycle accident and it left me unable to work for 2 weeks. But my assistant stepped right in to guide our CEO on all matters financial. It’s so nice to have that stress eliminated from my life!
