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.

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!!!

"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.

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.

After
my private session with you, and listening your CD "Networking
- The Rights, the Wrongs, the Reasons & the Results",
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.

Biba,
your "Power of Networking Secrets" 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.

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
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.

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,

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!

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,

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,

“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.”

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 at the Biba4Network-Mixer,
last night. 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!"

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.

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

she’s a pleasure to work with. I will definitely continue
to use her services.”

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.

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.

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.

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

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
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
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
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
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
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,

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.

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
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.

Diane Ragsdale, President, Paradox Productions,
Inc,NY
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.
