Feedback from some of the women who have attended ALIQUANTUM meetings

Just thought I’d write a quick note to say I found last night very interesting and informative, with lots of useful tips (as usual).  When new businesses set up they are given information/presentations on marketing, PR, self development, help from Inland Revenue, etc. but no guidance re cash flow.  I realised how important this was and ensure booking forms are completed in advance with T&Cs but last night made me look at invoicing terms in a different way i.e. until invoices are paid you are acting as a credit agency and it is important to have a strict invoicing procedure in place at the outset.  I will definitely be reviewing my own procedures!

As someone who is a great believer in networking I was delighted when Laura invited me to ALIQUANTUM. The meetings have fulfilled all my expectations, giving me the chance to meet like minded business women who are motivated and passionate about what they do. I have exchanged contact details and had follow up meetings. I have bought and sold to other members and I am building relationships for future business. Apart from the business aspect the meetings are always informative and enjoyable. What more could a girl ask for!

As a self employed professional I am pleased to have joined ALIQUANTUM, the vision of Laura Swetman, as it provides me and others with a positive environment for like minded business women to meet on a monthly basis, network and create successful business synergies/opportunities for each other. Thank you for creating this wonderful opportunity.

I have attended Business and Networking Clubs before, and have always found them rather dreary and disappointing. So it was with some trepidation that I went along to the first meeting of ALIQUANTUM and WOW - what a difference! The room was buzzing with enthusiasm; the lady attendees covered a very wide range of businesses and all were very friendly and happy to chat. No one felt awkward or left out, and it was a most enjoyable evening. The meetings are well structured, with a good balance been pure networking and informative presentations. Not only am I thoroughly enjoying ALIQUANTUM, but I have made some excellent business contacts as well, and would highly recommend the group to any business ladies out there who may be considering joining us.

ALIQUANTUM - a highly effective networking event for down to earth business women, it does as it says on the tin. My first event was last month and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have numerous business cards to keep in touch with other business ladies and plan one to ones to look at how we can work more closely together and pass business on.

ALIQUANTUM I am really proud to have been invited and I will definitely be attending future meetings. Laura makes everyone feel very comfortable, with a planned structure to each event.
Thank you for a fabulous first meeting.

For a start, it makes a nice change to be one of many! As a member of more than one other networking organisation, how pleasant it is at ALIQUANTUM meetings to be able to make idle chat for 5 mins, with someone from the same planet...and then to move swiftly on to the serious business of creating more business.

The 'speed' networking works very well.....No-one can remain tongue-tied or shy when they've said the same thing 10 times, and it serves a very good purpose as an effective ice-breaker....After half an hour or so everyone has introduced themselves to everyone else, so it's impossible to feel at all left out. Even if you can't possibly remember all the names, at least you can make a mental note to speak again to the lady in the red jacket because she might be useful to you & vice-versa.

I know networking works...I've been doing it for years on a formalised basis and it's helped me to grow my business in the way that I want it to. I'm convinced that women are the best networkers, not because we want to beat men at their game, but because it's our game too, the rules are a bit different that's all.

ALIQUANTUM is a fantastic way to meet like minded businesswomen! I have made some very interesting contacts and have benefited greatly through the contact made with members of ALIQUANTUM.

Well done Laura and Thank You!

I will most certainly do my best to attend further ALIQUANTUM meetings as I was most impressed by the May one. I had been playing with the idea of attending a women's only event for a long time and was always a little concerned that it would not be business focused. How wrong was I! I met dedicated and hardworking business professionals there for one reason only: move their businesses forward.
