1. What is POP?

Have you invested your heart, soul, and bank account into an idea or invention and the world didn’t beat a path to your door? Are you still searching for that defining business name that perfectly describes who you are and why people should do business with you? Do you want to narrow your niche – you just don’t know what that is right now? Have you been told you need to “brand” yourself but you’re just not sure how or where to start?

Well, you can start by attending this program! Sam Horn has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs create unique identities that catapulted their career and income.

Sam believes there ARE new things under the sun. She has developed a step-by-step methodology you can use to create one-of-a-kind titles, taglines, topics, and techniques that help you stand out from the crowd. She has shared her innovative techniques with international audiences at National Speakers Association, International coach Federation, Maui Writers Conference, and Young Presidents Organization.

In this fascinating certification program, you’ll not only have hands-on opportunities to develop your own unique positioning statement, you’ll learn how to apply Sam’s trademarked techniques to help you clients and audience members develop theirs.

You’ll learn how to win buy-in for yourself, your business, and your products by succinctly articulating the unique essence of your offering so it is one-of-a-kind instead of one-of-many because, face it, when you’re one-of-a-kind, there is no competition. Sam’s innovative methods will be featured in the upcoming book POP! The Art and Science of Getting Noticed, Getting Heard, Getting Bought from Perigee (Penguin-Putnam) in 2006.

Here’s a sample of the praise POP! has received:

I really don’t have the words to tell you how much I value your coaching.” – Stephanie Palmer, former Director of Creative Affairs for MGM in Hollywood, now director of www.GoodinaRoom.com

“My work with Sam has led to more clarity about my thinking than anyone I have ever met. She is a wizard at helping me (and everyone I have ever recommended to her) turn thoughts into high impact structure and well-organized content, as well as developing a highly compelling marketing message with impact. Do yourself a huge favor – work with the best of the best, and that means Sam Horn.” – Steve Lishansky, CEO of Success Dynamics

“Thanks you for making my project ‘sing.’ You were able, in just a few hours, to pull together things I’d been struggling with for weeks. My agent is thrilled because it flows beautifully now with intrigue and sparkle. What an amazing talent you have! And what a joy you are to work with.” – Cynthia Shapiro, PHR, author of “Corporate Confidential!”
