Thank God for Karen Salmansohn & her Branding Program! To say she got me 'unstuck' is an understatement! I went to her with what I thought was my 'big idea' but after a 3 hour Brand Inventory and Upgrade Consultation, she uncovered my true passion, my true mission and steered me in a new and far more exciting direction. Without her, my message and expertise would still be stuck in my head all in a jumble. Instead I am now ready to change the world and empower a whole host of women to energize their wealth!

You can have the best content in the world, but without the right packaging it will go undiscovered. Bringing my book idea to Karen was a life changing experience that just continues to snowball in an amazing direction. She helped me get my message out there and as a result people all over the world are telling me that their lives are forever changed. I came to Karen with a book I was originally calling 10 Practices to a Happy Healthy Life. After hearing the premise of the book and reading part of my early introduction, she suggested I change my title to The Snowball Effect. Karen not only helped me with my title, she designed my logo, my book’s cover, and the banners for my website and Facebook page. She helped me narrow my focus into one singular prong and my brand, The Snowball Effect, was born.

I have been an admirer of Karen’s work for many years, first as an author and then as a super positive and inspiring thought leader and coach. I decided to go all in and take Karen’s 3 Hour Brand Inventory and Upgrade Consultation. It was nothing short of BRILLIANT — all caps intentional! Honestly the entire process and Karen’s dedication to my success as well as her pure genius just blew me away. We took action steps right then and there to take my coaching and education business through the roof, and she gave me pages and pages of suggestions, tips, actionable advice, and valuable insights for me to absorb and implement. She also helped me write website copy that is passionate and full of life that speaks directly to my audience. I would recommend working with Karen to anyone who is truly serious about taking their business to the next level. She is absolutely amazing and a business and marketing guru! Just awesome!

Self-help needs help. It can be tedious. It can be preachy. It can be dull and holier than thou. Its an embarrassing part of the book store to be caught in. Unless you're with Karen Salmansohn. She is a former copywriter (in fact she named the Burger King Croissanwich®) and she has great knack for reducing wisdom to memorable words.

Karen Salmansohn's writing is bold, playful, insightful with powerful metaphors that provoke and inspire. In The Bounce Back Book, her kinetic images amplify her message and take the book to a new level of literary experience.

Over the years I have spent a lot of money on hot shot marketing pros--or so they say! Karen Salmansohn is the first person I've ever worked with that actually improved my traffic and monetization on my website - as well as upgraded my branding. I tell people--you should invest in your website as if you want to be seen on Park Avenue in New York City. Karen can help you brand and market yourself and your business in the way you want to be seen--Park Avenue style.
