Feedback from some of the business women who have attended ALIQUANTUM meetings.
I've been a member of Aliquantum since its inception & through it have made numerous useful contacts, helping me to grow my business. The networking sessions are relaxed, less pressured than many others, friendly and ultimately and most importantly a very cost-effective means of reaching potential new clients. In addition, Aliquantum sessions feature guest speakers who are often inspirational & occasionally challenging. I believe that Aliquantum networking events are an integral part of my plans for business growth.

I have attended Business Networking events before, and have always found them rather dreary and disappointing. So it was with some trepidation that I went along to my 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.

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!
Just a quick note to say that I thoroughly enjoyed last night. The structure was good and I really liked the relaxed atmosphere of it all.

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.
Sue Banks, PurSUE A New You.
Have to say that we really enjoyed ourselves at the last meeting and are looking forward to attending the next one.

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!

The atmosphere at Aliquantum is always relaxed, warm and friendly yet structured, well organised and professionally presented. What it most certainly isn’t is stressful, political, pressurised and a competitively charged atmosphere.
From my own perspective, Aliquantum gave me the opportunity to network far more effectively and with much more confidence at a time when I was new to networking scene, let alone having just launched my own business. The guidance given, together with copious notes taken at presentations from guest speakers, all amazing experts in their fields but, more importantly, pertinent to most every business let alone mine, were like gold dust to me.
I have made both friends and received business from having been a member of Aliquantum, but it’s like any good networking group, you need to be in it for the long haul to build knowledge and trust and, to my mind, who better to recommend and do business with than those you know and trust!
Aliquantum is, for me, an extension of my virtual and often lonely office. Meeting with the ladies in Aliquantum, I feel I’m going out to meet with my friends from work ~ and that’s effectively what I do each month with Aliquantum. I love it and continually and wholeheartedly recommend it to business women (only quality business women mind!) as an integral and ongoing part of their marketing ethos. Congratulations, Laura, and thank you for providing the medium from which I can both promote and market my virtual office and make friends too.

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.
