This review is from: Do It Right! The New Book of Business Etiquette (Perfect Paperback)
Do It Right! is so much more than an etiquette book - it really is a powerful management and leadership tool. An easy-to-navigate guide for everyday etiquette in business as well as social settings, Ms. Sokolosky provides keys to building relationships by putting into practice a professional and courteous presence reminiscent of days gone by. This book illustrates that it in the dog-eat-dog world in which business is conducted these days, it is indeed possible to forge business relationships with class, sophistication and style. And Leticia Baldridge's endorsement seals the deal!

This review is from: Do It Right! The New Book of Business Etiquette (Perfect Paperback)
Wow, Valerie really knows what she's talking about! This book has really helped me with the techno-etiquette chapter - phone mail, e-mails, mobile phones, PDAs. And, there is an incredible section in the book on observing foreign customs when doing business globally. In this business world, that is so very important. This is definitely The Business Reference Book of the year. - LeAnn Huffman
