5.0 out of 5 stars
A fun quick read with a great marketing perspective,
By
This review is from: Mayflower Madam: The Secret Life of Sydney Biddle Barrows (Hardcover)
I'll admit when this first came out, I wasn't interested. In my journey to become better at marketing, this book made learning about the importance of the sales process - from the second of the first customer contact to setting your company up for repeat business - fun and easy to understand. From phone scripts to "packaging," you get all of it.
Use your imagination to transfer the sales process Sydney details in her book to your product or service. Your bank account will be glad you did.

A True Insiders View of the World's Oldest Profession,
By ntnrocket (Las Vegas, NV, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mayflower Madam: The Secret Life of Sydney Biddle Barrows (Hardcover)
Sidney Biddle Barrows was groomed to be a people person all her life and, because of it, took the prostitution biz to the next level. She saw what was wrong with the industry and fixed it, big time. As I read through the descriptions of excellent client relations that her service, Cache, provided; I found myself wishing my name was in the little black book.In addition to reading about an interesting illegal business (which really shouldn't be), the book also fills the reader with vivid imagery of NYC in the early and mid 1980's. The best book on the interworkings of the flesh-trade I've ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars
future of prostitution,
This review is from: Mayflower Madam: The Secret Life of Sydney Biddle Barrows (Mass Market Paperback)
This book clearly etablishes that prostituion fgr women need not be a degrading profession. As the Madam has suggested women could beenift from being prosituites. They receive a crash course in dealing with the male sex without sacificing their sense of femininity. The book is written without a hint of apology.
Plus this book is brilliant in exploring reasons men use prostitutes. This book is a must for any woman who wants to understand men.
