A terrific book from a world class professional speaker. This book is all about possibilities. . . and if you follow Fripp's no-nonsense guidelines, the possibilities are endless! I love this book!

I like Patricia Fripp. I sense she is a smart, genuine person with real heart, and has lots of valuable experience to share with other people who meet the public for a living. I'm sure she'd be great fun to have dinner with. That said, nothing in this short book runs very deep, centered as it is around business anecdotes and focusing on sales, but if you want some idea of how this little English hairdresser achieved success in the American business world as a public speaker and sales coach, this is a quick, painless way to get that idea. Though she quotes her brother a few times (guitar legend Robert), I wouldn't expect this book to give you much insight into his thinking.

Very easy read (definitely in 1 sitting for me). Personally, I like books that get to the point quickly and does not ramble on and on. Great anecdotes that make the point. Patricia has a very friendly tone and her cheerleader personality comes through without sounding fake. She is a true believer in herself and shares with her reader SPECIFIC WAYS to do the same. The book does not apply only to people in the sales profession. If you are just waiting around to get recognized or promoted, this book is definitely for you.
