Customer Reviews

Laugh and Grow Rich

A friend suggested I read "Laugh and Grow Rich". I put it aside for about a week before I got around to reading it, and then I couldn't put it down. My mind was buzzing with ideas for meetings. I thought of ways that we could take some of the author's ideas and make our work more enjoyable-for both us and the customers. The chapter on how a printer made it enjoyable for people to be on hold made me rethink what we are doing. This was just one of the practical ideas that came from my first reading. I found the easy conversational tone took me a while to get used to, then it was just right. I guess that the best review I can give is that I purchased a second copy to give to a good friend who is in Wendy's upper management. A good book that is easy to follow and will help any manager to run better meetings and to deal with customer's and employees in a more effective manner.

An exceptional how-to book for outrageous profits & fun

This book is chuck full of ideas on how to have a dramatic and instant impact on your customers and employees. I learned how to turn my employees into fanatics about our business and our customers. I also learned how to turn our customers into relentlessly loyal patrons who are eager to do business with us. The secret is humor and LaCroix and Segel explain how to use it to gain a competitive advantage in today's cutthroat business environment. I was so impressed by the concepts and strategies explained in this book (along with the helpful examples) that I ordered a copy of it for all of our managers. We are already seeing results in both attitudes and profits. This book truly inspired us to think outside the box - and we had more laughs in generating and implementing these new initiatives then we've had in a long time! "Laugh and Grow Rich" has certainly earned my recommendation, hands down.

Life Changing

Laugh and Grow Rich opened my eyes to an entirely new way to do business. In the past I tried hard to separte the fun from the business. This created a business atmosphere that was unpleaseant and more importantly unproductive. After reading this book my perspective changed. I took the tools that this book taught me and applied it to my business. Well the results are tremendous. I give my full endorsment of this book, and urge business people to read and trust this book. I know that it will change your business if you are open minded and ready to laugh.

Fun and Informative

"Some people bring happiness wherever they go, some people whenever they go". These authors' unorthodox style of writing makes you feel that they are talking directly to you. When they discuss the "Funsucker" (somebody who sucks the fun out of everything) everyone can name a few acquaintances that fit into this category. A fast and fun read I learned from and enjoyed!
