Everyday Letters for Busy People.......2000-03-12
This book is an excellent source to have handy. In my profession, it is expected of me to formulate all types of letters. My supervisor depends on my expertise for writing all forms of business and personal letters. A copy of this book should be in your home or office. Believe me when I say it is an excellent reference tool. I highly recommend this book to those who are letter writers and those who have never written a letter (personal or business) before.

Fairly complete beginners guide.......2002-10-16
While this book seems fairly complete as a guide, it certainly is for total novices, not only to B&Bs but to those running their own business as well. Much of its information is common business sense in its foundation and offers little that one would not realize on one's own-unless they had never run any sort of business in the past. Even an individual who has operated a business for someone else, especially if that business were in the service industry, would know much of the basics found here. Most obviously lacking is any discussion of the value or how-to of Internet marketing, research, promotions, reservations or purchasing. Secondary to that is a lack is discussion on yield management, rate versus occupancy managment and adapting one's room rates to current occupancy and market room-availability and other market forces. The author also provides no discussion of purchasing principles or the advantages of economies of scale that can be gained with co-oped or group purchasing ventures.
Describes the business well.......2000-06-18
Tells the nitty gritty of running the business aspect of a B&B without going into the details of how someone should decorate. With running one so hard it was nice to see the bery clear and well laid plans to help keep an inn running smoothly from taking care of guests to taking care of yourself at the same time. I would recommend this book before someone lays out any money and gets themselves neck deep in trouble from inexperiance.
excellent and fact filled.......1999-02-06
I just read a library copy of this book, and now I'm buying my own copy for future reference. It was filled with essential information about innkeeping, and not just for those who want to start a two to three bedroom B&B in their house. Most of the information was applicable to small inns and hotels, as well. It is definitely the best book I've read on the subject so far (out of about six books).

The Best I've Read on the Subject.......2003-11-13
With this book, Ms. Zadrozny has answered all of the questions I have had on the topic of Home Shows. The attention to detail is wonderful, and she delivers her information in an extremely reader-friendly format. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book. It's wonderful.
Good Advice.......2002-03-23
Simple, straightforward advice for those who want to do home shows. Everything from naming your show and printing invitations to what to do with your pets. Brings up some things that first-timers might not think about, such as proper lighting; finding out about any necessary permits; having helpers to greet people while you show off your work; and many others. If you've never done a home show and want to, this is a very good step-by-step guide.

Customer Reviews:
save the few bucks!.......2007-09-03
This book is totally useless. It doesn't include any information that isn't available for free on the internet. Most students/clients know a lot more about occupations than this book can offer, anyway. It provides only general information which is not applicable to clients in specific regions of the country. An overview of customer service jobs, for example, is totally useless- it doesn't differentiate between high-end customer service and low-end retail. Anybody who has ever had a job already knows the difference. And the median salary is meaningless to clients- it's just an average of what one makes in NYC vs., say, Florida.
This is a waste of (albeit very little) money.

The Job Hunting Handbook.......2006-03-27
This book is great for learning or refreshing your resume and interviewing skills. Even thought the book is small I have learned a lot.
The BEST - brief, straight forward, and effective!.......1999-07-29
This straight to the point, step-by-step guide helped me land my first job at America Online. After reading it, I felt more comfortable, knowledgeable and ready to pursue a sometimes intimidating job search. I then bought copies for each of my friends also looking for jobs because I found it so useful!
Excellent , sequential outline for job search procedures.......1998-11-07
This book contains an excellent overview of all aspects of job hunting and presents a sequential guide for the person seeking employment. The outlines for writing a resume, listing employers, and networking are valuable tools. Each section contains key words that are vital, such as reminding people to network with friends or use the library as a resouce. This book is arranged by sections that are easy to use and to edit for individual needs.

African American Success .......2005-10-08
Brooke Stephens is a valued member in the African American community, her contributions are culturally constructive, professionally progressive, and economically empowering.
We support her because her goal is to empower us.
BTW, those who gave Brooke's book a rating of 4 or more, we clicked `yes' for the question "Was this review helpful to you?" Even in this little way we empower one another.
Making Sense of Our Dollars.......2002-11-10

This is a timely work. This resource is packed with information from cover to cover. I appreciate all that the author intended to do and accomplish with this work.

Very good book for novice investors.......2002-03-27
While some of the information in this book is outdated, it gives the new investor some good knowledge to build on.
A Must for Anyone and race should not matter.......2001-07-19
I read this book about three years ago when I was deeply in debt always borrowing from one credit card to pay another credit card. After reading this book I stopped making Tommy Hilfiger, Perry Ellis and Ralph Lauren so rich and started paying myself and it has paid off in ways I could not imagine. I don't have ten credit cards anymore and I don't bounce checks anymore either, but instead I am reading Black Enterprise and the Wall Street Journal looking for the best investment opportunities.
Required Reading.......2000-12-28
This book should be read by every african-american. While I was reading I thought she was talking about me. We seem to spend more money on unnecessary things and worry and complain about how we are going to pay those high interest credit cards. I now look at life and living a whole lot different. I have passed the book on to other family members in hopes that it changes their lives like it has changed mine.

Book Description
This book follows Bickerton's successful "Cybermarketing" which advised marketing managers on how to create a site and start using the net to sell products and services. The new book offers advice at the next level up to senior executives/directors about using nets as part of a corporate communications and marketing strategy.
This book delivers a no-nonsense and pragmatic view on the use of these technologies within an organization as both a private and public communication channel. It is designed to show senior executives how to use the technology in a range of activities from straight selling through to sophisticated corporate communications. To demonstrate how to integrate nets with broader marketing strategy the key features of this book are:
* A powerful model for explaining the strategic uses and strengths of the Internet, Extranets and Intranets. The authors have created a matrix showing the features of each, and the potential linkages between them, to demonstrate how to use them individually or in a "mix".
* Clear guidance on how to bridge the gap between IT and Marketing to exploit the technology rather than getting bogged down in it.
* Copious exercises and real life examples accompanied by worksheets in each chapter so that real campaigns can be put together from the book.

Make Sure You Read This One!.......2000-07-12
If you're looking for a book that uses a non-technical approach to address really difficult issues, this is one you must read. Anyone that is starting a new project or contemplating a major update should look at these lessons carefully.
Very well layed out book.......1999-06-17
I read this book and believe it is very useful in providing a review of the strategies and application of Electronic Commerce and the Internet phenomen into the modern business environment.
It also analyses the benefits of Intranets and Extranets. There are some very good tables and diagrams which summarise information neatly. Definitely worth reading for any business person or student of business.

Book Description
This book aims to fulfil two objectives: to contribute to the state of knowledge in the broad area of relationship marketing and to provide readers with an insight into the antecedents and roots of the current "fashionable" interest in relationship marketing.
The first part of this book presents ideas on our current understanding of networks, relationships, and interaction. The second part contains contributions which will be of interest to all those undertaking research in the area of business-to-business marketing. Part three, containing contributions with a strategic orientation, aims to give readers an indication of how broad the scope of the subject matter really is.
The contributions represent some of the most current and interesting thinking and empirical research in the field, and have been chosen to reflect the way in which the theme of relationship marketing has matured and developed. They cover the three areas of interactions, networks, and relationships, but this book goes further by the way in which these topics are covered. The chapters include theoretical developments in the area, practical case studies, and also new methodologies that can be applied to the study of relationship marketing.
