Biba,
your "Power of Networking" program is well developed, organized and presented in
a friendly, safe and helpful manner. Even though I have been in the Life Coach
group, your information clarified even more how all of the marketing pieces fit
together. I will definitely be making some adjustments right away to my business
cards and website based on the information you shared. I would highly
recommend your training to any business owner who is just starting out. I can
see how clarifying and knowing how to present yourself before launching a new
business can save a lot of time, money, energy and frustration. Definitely
having a clear plan and vision and making sure all of your marketing support
that vision is invaluable. Colleen Russell, www.soulore.com -
Sandpoint, Idaho
After my
private session with you, I felt much more confident in how to approach
networking for my business. The strategies and tactics presented during this
program were EXCELLENT! I am very grateful for having contacted you about how to
realize the power of networking and to bring about the financial results that I
want. Thanks for your help to improve my networking results. Laura Morales,
www.EnergizeYourOutlook.com, Houston, Texas
I wanted to take a minute to tell
you how great your Power of Networking Secrets program is. I learned how to
properly design my business card, write my elevator speech and design my 7-step
follow-up system. I will be recommending the program to everyone. Also, thank
you for taking the time to answer my questions. I would also like to tell you
how much I enjoyed the monthly mastermind calls. I always learn something
new. Julie Barnes Let’s Coordinate, LLC Overland Park,
KS
Before I met Biba about 7 months
ago, I was attending about every networking event and was not getting much
results. So I decided to sign up for the "15 Ways to Maximize Your
Networking Results" and then join Teamup4Success Mastermind, this has helped me tremendously.
Biba is always their to answer my questions and offer any good advice. Thank
you. Jay Bennett, Personalized Services 1on1, Casselberry,
Florida
After 10 years as an Account
Manager at Hewlett Packard, SAS and Business Objects in Paris, and after selling
solutions to several large accounts in France, I decided to move to the US. My
priority was to start my own business. Surfing the web, I discovered Biba’s
website, read her articles and bought her book "Start Your Dream Business
today". After several sessions with Biba, I realized that I wasn’t totally ready
to jump and start my own business and decided to join UCLA to pursue an Award
Certificate in General Business Studies. I also realized that I desperately
needed to join her networking program: "The Power of Networking". During this
three weeks program, amount other things, I was able to learn how to make the
1st impression count, with both my business card and my elevator pitch, and
learnt the American way of business. Before I left Paris, I actually attended my
1st Networking, one of Biba’s events and implemented everything I learnt in the
program. I was able to introduce myself in such a clear and concise way that
people were not only impressed, but also said that I had made a memorable
impact. Jean Marc
Dedeyne, Los Angeles,
I just wanted to thank you. I did
not know anything about ‘Networking’ when I arrived in New York. The first time
I attended a Networking event, I was so scared! I have read with great interest
your free report “15
Ways to Maximize Your Networking Results” and have followed your advice. Now
I attend Networking events twice a month and I always meet interesting people!
What I like in your events is that you really create good connections. I totally
agree with you when you say that, the quality of the contacts is much more
valuable than the number of people you meet with. Furthermore, it is true to say
that “the more you see people, the more they know you. The more they know you,
the more they trust you and want to do business with you!” I really believe that
Networking is the only way to increase our own business.
Thanks again for all your great
advice. I am really glad to be a Biba4Network member. Laetitia Balboux,
Actimailusa.com,
NY
Hi Biba! I just wanted to write
you a quick thank you for the amazing article you wrote on
Creative Latitude about "15 Ways to Maximize your Marketing
Results". I just started revamping my business last year and joined
a local chamber this past December. To be honest the only meeting I went to I
was scared to death and it went horrible. I just found your article tonight and
read it. Tonight is my second meeting for the chamber. I am getting honored for
redesigning their logo so I'm excited yet dreading it, but now that I've read
your article feel a bit more confident I am going to be able to network better.
I don't think people hear enough about the good things they do every day and
this article is not just good, it's AMAZING!!!
Maryann Little, Owner/Designer, NH
"Biba goes out of her way not just
to educate people about networking, marketing, and growing their businesses
through word-of-mouth marketing and referrals, but she takes the extra
step of directly connecting you with the other key players in her contact
sphere, and follows up to ensure that the connection is
made. She really is a networking expert!" Yvahn Martin,
Business Development Manager, Rappos,
NY
Last year, I have met Biba4Network
while in New York City. I can still remember sharply our meeting in the
AXA-Building, and how the Members of Biba introduced themselves, each with a
perfect 'Elevator Pitch', while enjoying our Lunch. As the matter of fact, we
are still in touch. And...... I now want to help people become better in their
Networking Skills too. I just send them to Biba or help them in my own
country. You see..... Networking Really Works! Also
international. Sylvie van Tilburg - The
Netherlands - Europe
Before meeting with Biba, people
compared my business card to a shopping list. It is an awful comparison when you
understand how important this tool is for the image of your business. Then last
year, I met Biba, she helped me create an attractive, eye-catch business
card. I am now proud to give it out as it is a true representation of
my business. I experienced the same “make-over” with my elevator pitch.
Biba helped me transform it into a clear, dynamic and efficient message
that now helps me now “stand out from the crowd” wherever I go. Using her
system, I also learnt how to publish a newsletter to attract potential clients
and promote my services. More importantly how to make money with my newsletter
and convert prospects into clients. I am more confident than ever in the success
of my business. I really would like to thank Biba for her valuable advice,
insights and support. Nicolas Corbin, , President & Sound
Engineer, NIKOSTUDIO,
"How
to get a six-figure boost" was an AMAZING class!
What an extra-ordinary person!!! Much of what Adam said I intuitively
knew but I have never heard anyone say it in such clear terms. I mean if every
entrepreneur realized that we are on a 3 month marketing cycle, it would be a
different world! I will be accessing the recording again to take it all
in. Maria Goodridge
Pisterzi, Specialist, Merrill Lynch
Biba, I want to thank
you for all the help that you have given me in the 2 years that I have been a
member of Biba4Network. You have provided guidance and
positive references to your members encouraging them to attend my seminars and
allowed me to make 3 presentations to your members. Through these
meetings, I have made a number of business connections that have led to dozens
of meetings and new clients. It was through your network that I
made the connection with the people that have brought me my largest
client. I feel that your approach is very unique and successful. The
small groups allow people to meet and get to know each other. I think that your
format is the best and that you are the only group that I have come across that
provides these services. Steve Helfand, WSI, Internet Business
Consultant
I've gotten halfway thru the
recording, Biba. "The 7 Deadly Marketing Mistakes & How to Fix Them..." with
Adam Urbanski. I LOVE WHAT I'M HEARING! I love you and Adam
too. You have no idea what a great help you have been to me these past
few months. I see a mistake I've made already and that is-- not keeping
on top of what Biba and Adam are doing! Working on it! I look forward to
seeing you again soon. I'll get back and finish listening to Adam's presentation
in a few. Thank you soooo much for this. It is very encouraging and
helpful. Brenda J. Wyche, Winning Strategies & Associates, NY
High level people gather around you
and attend your events. I’ve made wonderful connections and am proud to be part
of your network..you are a breath of fresh air. Eileen Lichtenstein,
MS. Ed., Balance and Power , New York
Thank you for arranging the
teleclass with Wendy Weiss, about Cold Calling. It was well worth
listening. The call made my lunch, a power lunch, by providing me valuable
information. Thanks again for making the
arrangements for this call! Respectfully, Stan
Balkema, Heartland Payment Systems,
Michigan
You will be happy to
know, I recently landed a lucrative technology consulting assignment with
Moet-Hennesy in Paris, France. Reading your articles on networking, helped me
fine tune my networking skills. Using your networking advice, my technology
consulting company, NetTECH Systems, was awarded a 12-15 week consulting
contract which will generate $50,000-$60,000 in profit. Thank you so much for
caring and sharing, Biba. C. E. Reid, CEO &
President, NetTECH Systems - Jersey City, NJ
I joined Biba4Network
in the Fall of 2005. I had no idea the return on my investment would be as quick
and powerful as it turned out to be. In early November, I presented to one of
Biba's groups. First, the distinct difference with Biba's programs is she limits
each meeting to 15 people. This means that each of us gets to connect with the
other attendees. This vastly differs from other networking groups I've
participated in over the years.
Second, I landed 3
new clients that night! Wow. That means that Biba attracts the entrepreneurs and
go-getters I'm seeking. As a sole practitioner copywriter, I spend a significant
amount of time trying to originate new business, and any time I can meet 15
interested people in one shot, that's Hugely valuable.
Third, one of the
attendees was a nutritionist and I was in need of [let's say] a diet upgrade. I
hired Floriana Betti and she's now discussing a marketing project with me.
Win-win All the Way Around.
If you want to
expand your business, meet people like you, learn new topics and gather new
information, and have fun, then Biba4Network is for you. Hope to meet you
soon." Eric Gelb, MBA & CPA Copywriter and Editor,
www.PublishingGold.com, NY
I just wanted to write and tell you
what a great benefit I have received in coming to your networking events. It has
been extremely good for my business. I have met many people that I continue to
work with. The contacts have been varied and positive - and have often led to
other contacts and business. All very successfully. I like the way you put
the events together. You are charming and yet business-like, and you make it
easy to network. Thank you. Susan Neri-Friedwald, Founder, The
New Behavior Institute, NY
I enjoyed meeting you
at your Mixer in September. I have made a very good connection with a woman I
met there, so I thank you for making that possible! Melanie
Morris Katin, L.Ac. Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs, NY
When you join
Biba4Network's Group your business is no longer a small business. You now have
the resources of a large company. Your fellow members help you with Research and
Development, Marketing, Promotions, and Public Relations, all for a very nominal
fee.
Networking is about building
relationships and each others businesses. Biba is the catalyst that makes it all
happen. Her personality and her business skills have helped me think and do
things at a much higher level.
Biba has helped me increase my
business by 30%. She has also made me realize the vast potential of
networking. Jack Halpern,
Myelderadvocate.com, NY
My experience with
Biba4Network has been excellent. You "walk the talk", you really build
valuable relationships with different kind of professionals and you can take
full advantage of their services or recommend them to your clients with
confidence because you meet them in person and you understand their goals and
style and you can guess if there is a possible match there or
not.
I met Biba only a
couple of months ago but I already acquired 2 new clients from the meetings and
made some good connection with professionals that work in field related to
Holistic Health, PR, and organization and administration of small
business. Floriana Betti, Holistic Health
Counselor, NY
“Biba’s networking
events are amazing. You never know who you’ll meet or what will develop. At the
last meeting I met someone new for whom focusing ON her business was very
timely. She signed up for my Save-Your-Business Tele-Boot Camp as her next step.
I’m confident it will be a win-win. Thanks, Biba, for creating such an intimate
and personal way to meet other small business
people.” Marian Banker, MBA, Business
Leadership Coach President, Prime Strategie , NY
I would like to thanks
Biba for what she did for me and my business. I was almost ready to give up on
my project. I tried to start it on my own and very quickly I faced
administratives problems I was not prepared for. While I was stuck in the
process, I met Biba and she immediatly solved all my problems, helping me pursue
my American Dream. With her professionalism, kindness and disponibility, she
doesn’t hesitate to open all the doors for you. She is 100% invested in your
projet. She never takes NO for an answer and never gives up until you get
satisfaction. I definitely recommend to use her services if you also plan to
start your business in the US. Kevin Kouassi, Brussels (Belgium)
– President, Emod Trading, NY
Starting a business in
the US, Dream or Reality No matter how motivated we are, how well we prepared
our project, no matter how experienced and bold we are, to start a business in
the US as a foreigner requires much more than that. We need to find the right
and indispensable person who will help us walk through the starting process and
the American administrative maze, the person who will help us step by step make
our dream a reality, who will always serve our best interest, who will be there
for us to find solutions to our problems. We were lucky, we met Biba and our
dream came true. There are many ways to venture to Manhattan Island, but the
most reliable is Biba, without any doubt ». Luc Sola -
President, Welcomecheck.com, NY
A short email to tell
you that it was nice to hear or/and talk to you guys last week at
Biba4Network. It is nice to see a group of people devoted to a such
creativity to build up businesses or relationships. Thank you to Biba and
good luck to everyone. Gregory Zammit, Co-founder, Ubatuba, Inc,
NY
Again, thank you for
the introduction. You create terrific environments for building fruitful
relationships! It will be a pleasure to work with you to create a co-sponsored
event in the future!" Sharon Lee Ritchie, President ,
Humanscapes, LLC, NY
Talented, Organized & Efficient
is the three words that come to mind when I think of Biba! Allow me to introduce
myself; my name is Camelia Robinson, President of the Kelvin Robinson
Foundation. Biba has worked with our organization coordinating & assisting
many of our events.
Each time Biba, President of
Biba4Network worked with our PR & Fundraising committee our goals were met
beyond expectations. She has proved her skills to be talented with our events
and thoroughly organized & always efficient with our time line. What more
can I say! Other than I truly recommend her quality of service for any endeavor
she may seek to pursue. Camelia Robinson, President -the Kelvin
Robinson Foundation, NY
My name is Allie Matthews. I am an
Event Planner/Fund Raiser. When I left my twenty-year position at AT&T I
considered starting my own event planning business but did not make the proper
connections. I went to Biba4Network in the hopes of meeting some contacts to
find a job. After the first meeting Biba and some of the members called me the
next day and gave me some contacts. I am pleased to say by the third week I had
my first client. I am now in business for myself as I had originally planned. I
wish I had met Biba4Network sooner. Thank you for your encouragement and
support. Allie Matthews, President, AlliEvents, LLC,
NY
Biba Pédron, founder and driving
force behind Biba4Network, has been a great marketing resource and alliance in
helping me build the Brain Exchange Roundtable. She’s not only a true
professional, she’s a pleasure to work with. I will definitely continue to use
her services.” Marian
Banker, MBA, Business Leadership Coach President, Prime
Strategies,
NY
Biba’s networking groups provide
the benefits of having a core group of people that allows us to get to know and
trust each other, while at the same time offering the flexibility of letting me
pick and choose from a selection of evening and lunch time meetings and the
opportunity to meet new people. I highly recommend Biba4Network to
everyone. Steve
Helfand, WSI Internet Consulting
and Education ,
NY
Biba4Network events are well
organized and professionally conducted. The small groups maximize personal
networking and business development opportunities. I have made several excellent
contacts for my business, and I intend to do my best to route business to those
who I have gotten to know at Biba4Network meetings throughout the New York
metropolitan area. Bill Hancock, Numeria
Inc.,
NY
Thank you very much
for the Biba4Network-Mixer last night. It was a great evening! The presentation
was very interesting and I really enjoyed meeting everyone. Please keep me
on your mailing list for future events... Julie, New
York
Thank you very much
for hosting the Holiday Party last night. The event and venue did provide a
comfortable atmosphere to foster valuable business relationships. I really
enjoyed it and your guests were delightful. As a resolution, I will endeavor to
attend your monthly events on a regular basis.The event, as usual, provided a
unique networking atmosphere for relationship building. I congratulate you on
your drive and dedication. Innocent B. Enaye -
Financial Consultant / AXA Advisors,
NY
The Biba4Network group
is small but powerful. The more intimate than usual setting made it much easier
for me to connect with people I enjoyed speaking with while finding people I
needed to meet. Lydia Bisanti, who is a pleasure to work with, was able to
quickly and economically upgrade my promotional material -- other graphcis
designers have been scaring me off for about a year. The friendly atmosphere
also made it easy for me to meet colleagues with whom I have been able to
develop mutually beneficial strategic alliances. Biba is a caring hostess who
helps her guests interact. I encourage anyone who is reading this to join and
come to the next event. Rachel Lurie, Financial
Services Professional,New York Life Insurance Company, New York
Biba
provides exceptional value in her friendly and relaxed, but high-quality
networking events. She takes a personal interest in members and goes the extra
mile to make sure that they make connections that can most help them, whether it
be by making an introduction, providing a forum for members to "show their
stuff," or by encouraging people to contact specific participants who may be
helpful. I really enjoy working with her. Jim Fell, JBFell
Consulting,
NY
Biba
Pedron has created events through biba4network for the English and French
speaking community to do business networking. I attended this event at
Independence Bank and was glad to see the 20 people who attended sincerely
wanted to network and know about other people’s businesses. About 45 minutes was
allotted to network and then Jim Fell, a business coach, gave a lecture about
being able effective in making a good impression and creating strong
relationships with the prospects and employees. Having a smaller group of people
to network was great to actually have a more intimate contact than what I
normally experience. Henry Pierre, Massage,
NY
I
thoroughly enjoyed your networking group. I, too, believe in establishing
long-term relationships with people, and prefer the in-depth style of your
meeting to the superficial, mob scene of other groups. I plan to follow-up with
most of the other attendees. Roberta Kuehl, Save it
Now,
NY
I really enjoyed your event. It
most appealed to me by the fact that it was a small group of participants, so we
didn't lose our personalities, felt comfortable to freely express our opinions
and were able to truly meet people instead of just exchanging business cards.
Thank you very much! I would be happy to participate in your events in the
future. Natasha, NY
Last
night was my third networking meeting and I enjoyed it as much as the others. I
love that you make everybody feel comfortable by creating a friendly atmosphere.
Each of these meetings was very informative for me since it is my first attempt
at networking. Working at home alone, I feel very isolated, and this has changed
since I met you. I am now part of a group and I can share my experiences and
learn from the experience of others. Thank you for your good work!
Lydia Bisanti, Graphic Designer,
NY
The event last night
was a huge success! I had a wonderful time. I saw some people I already know
that it was very good to see, and I believe some business will be generated
because of it. And I met some new people. And, as always, the people you attract
to your parties are very nice and very interesting. I like that you'll be
following up with a list of attendees so that we can follow up. A great
idea! Susan Nery, Teatcher & Certified
Hypnotherapist,
NY
Dear Ms.
Pedron, I really enjoyed last week's seminar. The speakers really knew what
they were talking about, and they provided some valuable information on the
topics being covered. The fact that they were American was a good thing: I doubt
a person from France would've known as much as a person from here on these
particular topics. Also, thanks to the fact that we were such a small group, all
the questions asked were thoroughly answered. The most important part of the
seminar for me was the first half (the visa part). The second half was very
interesting too, but I've already attended similar seminars on employment in my
school. However the guide on how to prepare for an interview is very useful and
will definately help me for future job interviews. Thanks to this seminar I now
have the phone number of an immigration attorney, which can be very important if
anything comes up. I'm not sure if there was a need for any additional
information on these topics. It seems like everyone's questions were answered. I
was personally hoping to hear from Cynthia that G4 Visas are easily transferable
into greencards, but unfortunately it's not the case. I want to thank you
for having allowed me to attend this
seminar... Sincerely, Nick Tillet,
NY
I’ve been to nearly every
networking event in New York. And let me tell you, Biba4Network events are
something DIFFERENT. Unlike a lot of other events I’ve been to, I didn’t
exchange business cards with 40 random people that I’ll never do business with.
Instead, I met several great people who all had excellent ideas for my business
and high quality referrals for me. If you are looking for exceptional contacts,
this is the network for you. If you are looking to meet a bunch of random
people, you’ll need to go to one of those other networking
groups." Laura Allen, Co-Founder, 15SecondPitch.com,
NY
I'm finding that networking events,
such as Biba4Network, that are small and focused on making a quality
connection with others work much better for me. It is easier to share
information and to make working friendships, which is what it's all
about." Margaret T. Wright, Wright Marketing Blueprint, Marketing
Consultant, NY
Dear Biba, I really enjoyed your
event the other night. I met some very nice, knowledgeable people who provide
valuable services. Thank you for creating a comfortable, intimate environment in
which to exchange ideas and information about our professions. I felt the
experience was very positive and I am already forming new relationships. I wish
you continued success and I look forward to attending more of your events in the
future. Denise Turner, Business and Life Success Coach,
NY
The two Biba4Network events I
attended were held in comfortable, relaxed environments -- perfect for
holding meaningful conversations with other business people. But, what's
really great about Biba Pedron's events is that she personally makes sure
that I get to know others. I feel that she has a genuine interest in helping
me succeed professionally. Rebecca St Martin, Omni Station, MN
Dear
Biba, BibaNetwork is a great networking venue for any business owners who are
looking to network and grow their business. Your networking events bring people
together in unique friendly places such as art galleries, French cafés and
various restaurants... a great way to meet people in a non-office
environment. Regards, Kethrin Prakuson, Ink On Pixels,
NY
Dear Biba, Thank
YOU for putting together a very nice event as usual. I like the small size and I
always seem to meet great people. I like your mission for this group and wish
you much success. Again, thank you for last night. I met so many quality
people. Sincerely, Linda K. Swanger,
lksassociates.unfranchise.com, NY
Hi Biba, The networking event
was very enjoyable, and I've met some very interesting people in which I am sure
I will be meeting with in the near future. Regards, Brenda
Alderman, BA Computer Consulting Services, Brooklyn,NY
Hi Biba, It was great meeting
you as well. I found most of the people I was able to speak to very dedicated
and serious about theirs goals. I have been passing the word around re: how
great your networking event was and the great people I met. I’m looking forward
to the next meeting. Elizabeth Irigoyen, eidesign,
NY
Dear Biba, I want to commend you
on your networking events. You have created a unique way to do business. As an
entrepreneur since 1994, I have participated in many networking groups over the
years. The Biba4Network approach to connecting business people is the most
enjoyable and effective method I have experienced. You are providing a
much-needed environment for interactions between people.
You
are providing an opportunity an opportunity for varied business and creative
people to meet each other, gain exposure and form alliances. Since giving a
presentation at one of your events, I look forward to further collaboration with
you, specifically the combination networking ans sales training evening we are
currently developing. Regards, Diane Ragsdale, President,
Paradox Productions, Inc,NY
Dear Biba, I am a
psychologist, working both for the Fire Department of New York City and in
private practice. My practice is small, and I am trying to build it. I attended
two of your events. Your welcoming and engaging manner made me feel comfortable
and at ease in presenting myself among other professionals who are trying to
form and build a business. My first event was the brunch where you encouraged us
to each speak to the group, presenting our business and telling about ourselves.
The smaller, more intimate group enabled us to make connections with each other,
both for business and for friendship. My second event was the Monthly
Networking, with a larger group of people, affording us to mingle and present
ourselves in an atmosphere that was again, made very approachable by
you.
It is
often difficult to seek out others to make appropriate contacts to obtain new
referrals and resources. In the relaxed, but professional, atmosphere in which
you create, I feel comfortable discussing with others the aspirations I have for
my business. Biba you have the ability to make the event stylish, chic, and fun
choosing interesting and contemporary venues, and inviting similarly interesting
guests. Sincerely, Joanne O’Connor, Ph, D,
NY
