5 Stars quick read - great for enterprising types
I’m a senior in high school with my own personal shopping business. I began selling Avon at school, but wanted to branch out. So I started personal shopping at the end of my junior year with the help of my parents who read this book. they’re in business, but wanted to know a little more about personal shopping. I read the book, too. quick read. not bad since i’m doing well. I know how to put together outfits and I already know how to sell so this little book is all I need.
1 Star Personal shopping
Let me start with saying I have not read this item yet, so I do not know the worthiness of it’s content, but when I took it out if the box and it was printed backwards, it made me not too excited to dive right in and read.
Pay attention people, this has the makings of a HOME MADE booklet, it is unprofessionally put together, not stoked. And not worth the money I paid for it.
4 Stars Good Starting Point
A short, concise version of what personal shopping is all about. This is not the textbook version of personal shopping, but the “cliffnotes” version so that is why I’m giving this only 4 stars. If you want to train to become a personal shopper, then you should enroll in a course, if they have one. In most cases, you have to apply and get accepted into a personal shopper program at stores. That can be tough so this book comes in handy if you want to look at alternatives to the store programs.
5 Stars Good buy
What a find. I have a whole new appreciation for personal shoppers, knowing how much work goes into selecting an item. I liked how this book talks about corporate personal shopping and opening a personal shopping business. I love to shop. I just needed a good book that showed me the ropes on how to start my own business in it. At less than $5, this is one of the best business books I’ve found.
