Isn’t it curious how our paths cross different people’s path unexpectedly?

This happened to me earlier this year when Ms. Sydney Biddle Barrows contacted me and ask that I be a contributing editor of her new book, “Uncensored Sales Strategies.”

Sydney is a business expert who consults companies all around the nation about how they can choreograph their business to create an experience for their clients. She has developed a lot of expertise at choreographing other people’s “experiences” in her previous life.

She became one of the most famous and talked about madams that ever graced the front pages of the New York tabloids under the nickname, “Mayflower Madam.”

Later, she has been a guest on various talk shows including Larry King and has written a bestselling book that Fortune magazine named as one of the Top Ten Best Business Books of the Year. Her books have also been on the required reading list for courses at Harvard.

So, go to Barnes and Noble, Borders, Amazon.com or any other major book seller and get your copy of this new book, “Uncensored Sales Strategies.” On pages 99-100, you will find out how experiences are created in architecture by yours truly.
