great business book

this is a great business book for any business. very entertaining, and funny. MUST READ

Madam

Great story, and what's more it's true! I loved reading about her and her business. Easy to read, and pleasant.

A fun quick read with a great marketing perspective

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 fast read.

This was such an entertaining book and I couldn't put it down. It was so interesting to read about a life that most will never participate in, but are nonetheless curious about. The book was written while she was still single in the 1980s, and I can't help but wonder if some of Mrs. Barrows' views have changed a bit since she got married (and I assume still is).

future of prostitution

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.
