MAKE YOUR BRAND, BOOK and BUSINESS POP!

 

Would you like to know how to:
  • Produce stop-em-in-their-tracks titles and taglines that get your company, creation, cause and ad campaign noticed  . . . for all the right reasons?
  • Capture and keep interest in what you have to say with "Jerry Maguire" openings?
  • Create a Tell ‘n Sell Elevator Speech so you have a compelling response to "What do you do?" or “Why should I work with you?”
  • Write attention-grabbing headlines and content for your articles, ezines, website, blogs and marketing copy?
  • Differentiate yourself from competitors by creating a one-of-a-kind niche that belongs to you and you alone?
  • Win buy-in for your projects, proposals, programs and products with approaches people haven't seen or heard before?
  • Turn your ideas into trademark-able terms, licensable methodologies and patented products so you build a business empire?
  • Lead your crowd (not follow it) so YOU are considered the #1 resource in your field?
  • Create memorable money phrases and sound-bites that customers repeat and want?
If so, you’ll love this fast-paced, fascinating workshop.  Sam doesn't waste time on abstract theories that don't work in the real world.  She shares real-life ideas you can use immediately to take your business to the next level.  Discover for yourself why Sam was the top-rated speaker at two International Platform Association conventions.  You'll love her "Intellectual Disneyland" style in which you receive dozens of original, thought-provoking approaches that help you break out instead of blend in.

Here’s a sampling of what today’s respected business minds are saying about her work: 
·         Seth Godin – “A third of the way through POP!, you’ll be begging to hire Sam Horn as your consultant.”
 
·         Ken Blanchard – “Lively, fun, inspiring guide to getting heard, getting remembered, and getting results.”
 
·         Edelman Senior VP Marilynn Mobley -  “If you liked Malcolm Gladwell's Blink, you'll love Sam Horn's POP!”

 
Want good news?  ANYONE can be more creative with Sam's pioneering step-by-step system.   As 4-time Pulitzer nominee Fawn Germer said, “You don’t have to be a creative genius to use Sam’s techniques; but using her techniques can make you a creative genius.”  Bring pen and paper and a priority project you want to brainstorm so you can "workshop" it in this hands-on program.

If you want a competitive edge, you owe it to yourself to participate in this program so you can get the visibility, respect and sales you and your business deserve.  As Sam says, "Blending in is for Cuisinarts, not for businesses.  If you want to break out, you've got to POP! out.  This program shows you how."

  • how to come up with truly original solutions for challenging issues?
  • how you can make the common uncommon and commond the attention of your target audience? 

You don't have to have an MBA or a multimillion-dollar budget to generate strategically smart innovations that capture market share, attract media attention, and drive sales which translate into increased profits for you and your organization.

 Find out for yourself why Marilynn Mobley, Senior Vice President of Edelman, the #1 public relations agency in America, says, "If you loved Malcolm Gladwell's Blink, you'll love Sam Horn's POP!"

Are You One-of-a-Kind or One-of-Many?

How to Stand Out in Any Crowd

 "It's not enough to be the best at what you do;

you must be perceived as the only one who does what you do."  - Jerry Garcia

 There are literally thousands of restaurants, consultants, dentists, attorneys, chiropractors, boutigques, contractors, hotels, and airlines to choose from.  How are you different? What are you offering that distinguishes you from others in your field?  Why would potential clients choose you over your competitors?

 The premise of this program is that we don't want to be one-of-many because we'll always be scrambling for business.  We want to be one-of-a-kind so there is no competition. 

 Find out for yourself why , John Jantsch, Jeffrey Gitomer, and Mark Sanborn all say that Sam's POP! Process is the key to generating the buzz, name recognition, and mass appeal that result in you and your organization being the first choice -- the only choice -- for clients and decision-makers
