Book Review: Pop! Stand Out In Any Crowd

Book Review: Pop! Stand Out In Any Crowd

In her latest book, Sam Horn's describes some great creative business marketing wordplay techniques for getting your product or service to be noticed and stand out from the crowd. Her book is focused on creating a less than 60 second "opening" that will start a dialogue with prospective customers.

"Pop" stands for purposeful, original, and pithy. The wordplay is based around filling out the following "W9 questionnaire":

W1. What am I offering?
W2. What problem does my idea or offering solve?
W3. Why is it worth trying and buying?
W4. Who is my target audience?
W5. Who am I and what are my credentials?
W6. Who are my competitors and how am I different from them?
W7. What resistance or objections will people have to this?
W8. What is the purpose of my pitch?
W9. When, where, and how do I want people to take action?

The (core) words that you choose to answer these questions are used to help you create a message that is uniquely yours. She gives over twenty different techniques (including rearranging cliches, inventing new words, rhyming, etc.).

Leanne Hoagland-Smith
Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website
