About Our Guest:
Sydney Barrows ran New York’s first upscale escort services, introducing business management practices and integrity to this industry. Today, she is a sales choreography guru who collaborated with Dan Kennedy in authoring the book, Uncensored Sales Strategies.
Managing An Unconventional Enterprise
Sydney’s Beginnings
- She started in retail as part of the executive training program of Abraham and Straus, now known as Macy’s.
- She transitioned to working at a resident buying office.
- Her coworker, who answered phones for an escort service, introduced her to the industry.
- With her background in business, she saw the flaws and missed opportunities of the enterprise she joined, prompting her to start a new escort service with her friend.
Common Mistakes in Escort Services
- Male business owners mistakenly think that they like in women are the same things that their clients want.
- Some businesses outright lie to their clients, making it harder to establish trust.
Niche Marketing
- Sydney decided to target a more upscale niche since she observed that businesses underserved this demographic at that time.
- When selecting a new niche, you need to be brave to go against typical practices, such as how Sydney raised prices and changed her advertising tactics.
Dealing with Fallout
- Sydney eventually got caught by the New York police, and her business became front-page news for weeks.
- However, she was able to use the publicity to her advantage. Best business practices speak for themselves and will help you weather even the worst publicity.
- By bringing integrity to an industry that lacked it, Sydney was eventually praised by the police for her top-notch operations.
Caring For Employees
- Sydney wanted to attract refined, well-educated women to work for her.
- She gave them more freedom to choose their work schedule.
- She also allowed them to leave clients if they didn’t like them without any penalties.
- By taking care of your employees and training them extensively, you help ensure that your clients receive exemplary service.
Education For Businesspeople
- You don’t necessarily need a degree, as long as you know the things you can do well.
Outsourcing and Onboarding
- You can outsource the parts of the business that you’re not good at, which is why self-awareness is crucial.
- It can be challenging to rely on other people for work you can do yourself, but it’s a necessary step to grow as a leader.
- Onboarding people doesn’t have to cost much; you can offer experience and knowledge to people like interns in exchange for their services.
Mentors
- Sydney calls Dan Kennedy a mentor, having written a book with him on marketing and sales strategies.
- Mentors are an excellent way to learn more about fields you’re curious to learn.
Common Sales and Marketing Mistakes
- Some websites look and perform well, but are ultimately useless if they don’t lead to sales.
- Many people fail to see scenarios from their customers’ viewpoint.
- Other businesses don’t care about their clients or their people once they get the money.
- Forgetting to capitalize on your niche’s common pain points can lead to missed opportunities.
Sales Copy
- Invest in a good sales copy, as they tell who you are and which audiences you serve.

Too good to miss! I was listening to the episode with Daryl Urbanski & Jermaine Griggs in my office yesterday. It was so good that a woman who works for me she didn’t want to leave when it was time for her to get off of work because she didn’t want to miss anything! Yes it is really that good. Do yourself a favor and Press play! I’m excited because I plan on being one of the 200!
