The Personal Touch, contributes to Terrie William's encouragement of establishing and maintaining relationships. Professionally, or personally, this book suggests practical methods and opportunites to enhance relationships. She shares experiences that enable new business owners to avoid mistakes commonly and frequently made, or neglected.

I recently reread the book to prepare for a networking event. My confidence was heightened, and my preparedness to meet my objectives was concisley manuevered.

It's simple, basic and easy to read, yet filled with a wealth of constructive information that will enhance lives in regard to appreciating others . Apply her recommendations, and the results are clearly and immediately noticed.

I had the opportunity to meet and hear her speak recently in New Orleans. Her personality and speech demonstrated the etiquette of professionalism with a friendly and personalable touch.

I really enjoyed the book written by Terrie Williams. Ms. Williams brought out much needed things that we humans of today seem to have forgotten.

If more people would adhere to the principles of personal touch, the world would be a better place to live and we as humans would not be under so much stress.

One of my Teachers once wrote in my autograph book upon graduation the saying,"To suceed, you must proceed to exceed". I think Ms. Williams said that many times in her book in many different ways.

She made me think back to basics, and that "Common sense is no longer common. Personal Touch could be sub titled "Good News". Which means Gospel.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who strives to be sucessful.

Easy reading at its best. The whole time I was reading this book, it felt more like sitting around talking with a "sister friend" in my living room or kitchen having a friendly informative conversation. The writing and flow of the book was done in such a way that you felt like Terri was in the room with you.

From the moment I received this book, I had it with me everyday to read (during my lunch break, traveling to and from work). I could not, nor did I want to put it down. This book is a valuable business reference guide for both women and men. And for those individuals considering becoming future entrepreneurs, a definite must to add to your reading list. I enjoyed reading the contents of this book more so then any career workshop or college business course I've had to sit through for three hours!

This is a must read. Your money will not be wasted with the purchase of this book. It is indeed a smart and worthwhile investment.

Thank you Terri for sharing and giving back to others.

This is interesting to read if you want to read about someone else's success. It is a very general book and doesnt really give you any advice or insite on how to get ahead in life or business. Its worth checking out in the library but not much more.

This is a great book, full of common-sense advice that is crucial for success in today's business world. I read this book years ago (as an assistant manager), and return to it time and again as a touchstone, as I move up the corporate ladder (now a VP). I've found her sound, wisdom-filled tactics essential in making a mark in my industry. Since my colleagues and clients speak very highly of me, I know Terrie's suggestions worked!

This book was a gift from Ms. Williams to attendees at my university's 1998 Mass Media Symposium. One year later, I finally read the book and it restored my confidence. It was so difficult to put down that I was trying to read it while my dentist gave me a check up. I tried the simplest suggestion made by Ms. Williams and had instant results. This book is my career Bible. Terrie Williams is phenomenal!

What a book for millions!, If you are in the people business (who's not?)--I Think we all can relate; without people there would be no business; the book "The Personal Touch", is the only book you need to survive in a fast-paced business enviroment when personality could break or make your success!

This book is highly recommended: * Easy to read; * Informative; * Great for people starting out in life and is a refresher for those who have been around for a while. * A great gift for someone who deals w/the public!

The Personal Touch is a pratical and easy to read book about connecting with others in the world of Business. My hats is off to this fine author who decided to share her secrets of sucess with the world.

I was so dissappointed with this book. There is nothing new or remotely original. In fact, if your mother ever taught you the rules of basic etiquette then you have more useful knowlege than this book gives. Also, the book is now rather dated. The names she drops are either now out of favor or have been forgotten. If you are still curious go to the library and read it for free.
