Parissa Behnia
“I have known Parissa for several years now in a few different professional capacities. I have had her provide valuable input into business plans and marketing strategies of some of my smaller start-up clients. She is clearly a thought leader in social and digital marketing strategies. At 678 Partners, she has been a great client to Paradigm Legal Group, providing me with interesting projects to work on in a collaberative environment. Additionally, she has provided me with access to her great referral network, allowing me to find future clients and partners for my practice, She really takes the time to consider who the best fits would be for each resource she brings together. I strongly recommend Parissa as a strategist, marketeer and business contact. She is a visionary as a trend watcher and a futurist!”
“Parissa is a talented listener, understanding the needs of the customer and skilled in asking the Socratic questions that get to the heart of a challenge quickly, insightfully and with a consumer perspective. As a problem solver, she’s motivated to make recommendations and suggestions that satisfy the needs of the challenge, not by the need to be “right.” As a connector, she brings new ideas and the “right” people together, creating value and driving innovative ideas.
Our partnership with Parissa is an asset that Binary Artists is happy to have. We’ve found real value by including her in our planning, new business and referral initiatives. Bottom line: she’s helped our bottom line.”
“Parissa has quickly become a valued member of our firm’s network. Because she is a creative and strategic thinker, she has helped generate new business for our firm in a very short period of time. How? She’s connected us with referral sources we had not considered previously that are part of her large and diverse group of highly networked strategic connections. She continuously offers creative ideas and solutions to help us grow our business and is a very valuable resource.”
“I met Parissa earlier this year thanks to LinkedIn. 2010 is coming to a close; she definitely has locked up the number spot on my new connections list. 1.) A great sustainable networker understands the value of connecting people, but more importantly sharing information. This past year, social media has been an area of interests. She continually kept me in the loop based on her research. Together we have explored the new world of social media. 2.) My company launched a new service concept (Buzz Marketing Plus) earlier in the year. In September, we landed our first client. Since my company is a virtual company, I decided to outsource part of the project to Parissa since she really has a feel for social media and how it is being utilized by major Retailers. Our task was to listen and develop some marketing concepts for my client. Parissa did a stellar job. In addition to meeting all deliverables on a timely basis, she went the extra mile by providing some insight on new areas of technology that were being introduced during the tenure of the project. To me, she provided some great support, thus exhibited that she is the consummate team player.”
“Parissa is an extremely intelligent, talented and experienced business executive that keeps a keen eye on detail while managing with a big picture perspective. Her ability to develop and maintain highly effective and honest relationships with her colleagues and business partners epitomizes her personalized approach to managing impactful and rewarding relationships. Parissa works tirelessly to secure and reinforce a positive work environment and is diligent in her pursuit of exceeding stated objectives and goals.”
“I found Parissa’s enthusiasm for and dedication to a project absolutely contagious. Parissa is a true relationship builder; she has a knack for getting all parties involved in a project to collaborate. She always had a deep understanding of the project at hand, plans a detailed approach, and consistently shows the drive to execute a job in the most efficient possible way. She is also a very creative person. Parissa’s energy, focus, professionalism and positive attitude make her a great addition to any organization. Her proactive and supportive style make it easy for her to get others to follow.”
“She is an entrepreneurial person with a wonderful “outside-the-box” vision and approach. On a more personal basis I got to know Parissa as a humane, conscientious, helpful and worldly person. I am confident that any company and individual who will have the pleasure of working and interacting with Parissa will agree that she’s a wonderful, hardworking, vivacious person.”
Amir Rafizadeh
“In the brief time that I have know Amir, I have discovered that the titles “Chief Connector” and “Problem Solver” are understatements. Amir brilliantly manages two business models. The first is helping very wealthy executives, families and corporations liquidate multi-million dollar, illiquid assets. Using the skills learned and honed over two decades, he uses every legal, “trick in the book” to help solve the problems of loss of value from forced liquidation. In addition, he has built a highly collaborative team to show companies how to dramatically increase revenues and earnings in a recessionary economy. But as, if not more important, Amir is a pro-active “Introducer.” Amir proactively looks for opportunities to professionally collaborate, and to connect executives who should collaborate. If you have the need for Amir’s skills, or would like to meet one of the better collaborators, I would be happy to make the introduction.”
“Amir , has been a wonderful business partner. He is a fantastic networker and has given me some valueable advice for my business. In my opinion, Amir is a hard-working self-starter who invariably understands exactly what a project is all about. Amir consistently produces high quality work in a timely fashion. I am therefore very pleased to be able to recommend Amir for any financial project that you are working on. Based on my time working with Amir, I recommend him very highly for business projections or financial advice or networking that you might need some assistance with.”
“When I need objective advice, I turn to Amir. When I need creative and innovative advice, I turn to Amir. When peers and friends ask me, is Amir the real deal, I emphatically answer yes! Amir has gone out of his way to guide me through some challenging decisions and focused me on on approaches I would not have known otherwise. He has done this often with complete goodwill as I sorted through the issues before me. Because of this, I wholeheartedly recommend Amir for his keen insight and multiple set of solutions to achieve financial goals in an ever changing economy. Amir has the highest sense of integrity and his professional yet personable demeanor is a breath of fresh air.”
“Amir has a razor sharp intellect and astute business sense. He is a very driven, creative and focused businessperson who understands money and investment. He is not persuaded by the talking heads on TV and Radio; he does his own research and analysis and comes to his own reasoned and logical conclusions. Amir’s opinions about business and money investments are sound, baaed in fact and reality and are trustworthy. I highly recommend Amir when it comes to investment, and planning on managing your money and investments.”
