Sydney Biddle Borrows

Biography

Perhaps better known to millions as the “Mayflower Madam,”
Sydney Biddle Barrows found herself moonlighting as a phone girl
at an escort service to supplement her unemployment check after
having been fired for refusing to participate in a kickback scheme. It
may have been the World’s Oldest Profession but it certainly was not being run very
professionally, and less than a year later she decided to open up her own agency.
Relatively small but very upscale, Cachet prospered for five and a half years until New
York’s Finest closed it down, only to later publicly concede that it was the most honest
and professionally run business of its kind ever operated in New York City.
Her first book, Mayflower Madam, went right to the top of the New York Times bestseller
list; Fortune Magazine named it one of The Ten Best Business Books of the Year and
business schools across the country, including Harvard, used it in their curriculum.
Her fourth book, Uncensored Sales Strategies, co-authored with the legendary Dan
Kennedy, was published in January of 2009.
