Shane Melanson

President, Kalamoir Construction Management

When Shane started working one-on-one with Matthew, he realized that Matthew understood his business even better than he did! Shane was quickly able to get a clear vision of the exact path to business success. The feedback that Matthew offered throughout the process was invaluable in providing much needed clarity and focus to Shane. In particular, Shane nailed his ideal customer and honed his winning sales process. Thanks to Matthew, Shane has tripled his prices and increased his revenue to five figures per client.

Lisa Sretenovic

The Velocity Detective, Visionating, LLC

Like many talented corporate professionals who transition to entrepreneurship, Lisa found herself struggling with sales and marketing shortly after starting her own business. She reached out to Matthew for help, as she knew she wanted to quickly ramp up her success. Working one-on-one with Matthew allowed her to develop a unified message, identify what made her stand out from her competitors, and master the sales process, all through a simple step-by-step methodology. As a result, Lisa increased the price for her core service from $2,997 to $8,997 in just five months, and she is on track to exceed her corporate salary by 150% in her second year of business.

John McIntyre

Owner, Drop Dead Copy

John got into business for the same reasons a lot of us do: To have more money, more time, and more freedom. However, he quickly found himself working his fingers to the bone just to keep things running. Matthew helped him understand where his goals were misaligned, and how to better communicate the value of his brand. Within just two weeks, John landed a $45,000 client, and is on track to land one new client each month moving forward.

Anita Flejter

Director of Digital Marketing, NETINT Technologies

Anita came to Matthew because she was having trouble expressing her value and was therefore struggling in her job search. She realized she needed a better way to present herself to potential employers, and turned to Matthew for help through his Rapid Growth Intensive. With Matthew’s guidance, she was able to create a unified message that highlighted her unique strengths and helped her land multiple exciting job offers while negotiating her optimal terms. Anita highly recommends working with Matthew for anyone looking to supercharge the process of finding the perfect job and getting paid what they’re worth.

Angela Durrant

The Impact Strategist, Rapid Growth Mentor

When Matthew approached Angela with an offer to join his mentorship program, she was initially nervous, wondering if she would be able to replicate the success of Rapid Growth Academy. But Matthew encouraged her to integrate her own abilities into the framework, and it worked beautifully. She was able to help diverse businesses achieve the same success she’d attained with Matthew, as well as add further credibility to her coaching services. Not only did Angela see major financial growth, she also gained an even deeper understanding of Matthew’s business and sales principles. By teaching what she had learned, she was able to cement the knowledge for herself, resulting in continued growth and improvement.

Matthew recommended a strategy to launch the second season of my podcast. By implementing a simple strategy (it took a little time to build), I was able to get more downloads in one month that I had the entire previous season. It was fantastic. If you are considering working with Matthew, I would highly recommend it.

Jaime Jay,
Host, Stop Riding The Pine

The disconnect was horrible. I knew I had a winning solution, but I was failing at communicating my message in a compelling way. In fact, I was almost ready to give up when I met Matthew.

After working with him, I had people clamoring to get my card at conferences, and closed my first mentoring client, who signed up immediately after our first session. How? My custom messaging! My mentoring income increased 25% per client because of Matthew’s advice. And, there’s a steady stream.

Best of all is the experience of working with Matthew. Because of his amazing background, you want to bring your A+ game. It’s like getting Bette Midler as a voice coach. Matthew is a true teacher who finds the best in you and cultivates that. You will grow and have fun doing it.

Dina Eisenberg,
Executive Ombuds Consultant

I am naturally very sales oriented. Cold calling and speaking to executives is something I enjoy and that comes naturally. However, as a young guy in a tough, highly competitive industry, I was not having nearly the success I wanted as it related to prospecting.

We had Matthew come work with our team, and from the very start I was impressed by Matthew’s unique approach to sales. Matthew’s approach of selling via stories was not something I had ever done before, and admittedly I was skeptical of whether it would resonate with C-suite executives. What I found was that not only did my success rate on the phone skyrocket, but my entire approach to cold calling changed.

I was no longer the bulldog who needed to juice myself up to be ultra aggressive on the phone. Instead, I was able to use tangible stories/examples to side step rebuttals and open doors that otherwise would have been shut.

I now set meetings with the majority of decision makers I connect with, and I absolutely attribute that to the extensive work Matthew put in to help me adjust my approach. Aside from the tremendous value Matthew provided to my business, he was a pleasure to work with and be around, which made the experience that much better. I would HIGHLY recommend Matthew to anyone looking to improve their sales technique and make more money. He is extremely good at what he does, and is a classy guy.

Alex Durham,
Tenant Representation Broker, Colliers International

Matthew is a truly outstanding sales and marketing expert and has been an important part of my growth and development. Matt has great wisdom, knowledge and abilities, but more importantly, he is incredibly giving with these capabilities and with anything he creates.

It is this consistent willingness to share, help and enable others to achieve success that may be his greatest gift. He goes above and beyond to understand where you are and what you need, and partners closely to help you achieve your goals.

His advice around breaking down all the things I do in my business into creating a unified message and discovering my service’s unique point of difference has been invaluable in the evolution of my business.

Today I am able to clearly communicate what I do and the unique value I provide in a way that speaks to my chosen client segment. I highly recommend him as consultant, coach and speaker, as his guidance and insights are invaluable.

Rodney Smith,
Founder & President, Rodney Smith Global

Thank you to Matthew Pollard for succinctly saying back to me my exact brand! I have been struggling for over a year, have paid for business coaching, branding experts and content writing experts, for what Matthew accomplished in my office in two hours!

Matthew has helped me to clearly, concisely and concretely decipher my messaging and deliver it with valuable impact to my audience. He is gifted, talented and skilled at pulling you out of your own minutia and elevating your messaging. I’m empowered and excited about executing next steps to deliver an extraordinary experience for my clients! Thank you, Matthew!

Meshell Baker,
Congruency Catalyst, Meshell Baker Enterprises

I don’t write many testimonials unless I’ve been wowed. I live in a high value world where promises are easily made – and broken. Where expectations are set – and never met. I consider myself a positive-minded, yet sometimes cautious professional who has sometimes felt I’ve seen it all.

Expectations are such in our world today that when someone under-promises, then over-provides, it’s magical, because it’s so infrequent, so unique – but SO APPRECIATED. That describes Matthew Pollard. A leader with passion in his heart, caring in his persona, with a unique ability to talk straight and hold you accountable, but never overbearing.

Want examples of what wowed me?

I more than doubled my income in less than 2 weeks. He explained in detail how to generate over $5000 in additional PROFIT – with no additional work. Then I went out and did it! Matthew helped me charge what I was worth – and gave me a way of explaining why I was worth it. I’ve generated, through his teaching, massive return on my investment within a very short time. I’m no rookie either, having owned two prior businesses and been at the top of my game for over three decades.

And that was after only one session.

Richard McLemore,
Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Sales Elite LLC

Matthew Pollard is an excellent business coach. He has helped us to plan the statewide efforts for our non-profit, and his advice is always spot on. Whether Matthew is helping us with refining our strategic vision or coaching us on how to better manage volunteers, he is always clear in his guidance, and very insightful. I am consistently impressed by both the breadth and depth of Matthew’s knowledge. He will help you approach your work in a smarter, more effective manner.

Nicholas Baker,
Texas Chapter Director, fwd.us

Matthew’s business acumen spans across all aspects of business needs. My business partner and I found his valuable feedback immediately helpful to get us through several sticking points in our presentations. It’s true, his enthusiasm is wildly contagious! It’s refreshing to get real-world, actionable advice in a straightforward, easy-to-understand-and-implement kind of way. Thanks, Matt!

Amy Looper,
Co-Founder & COO, One | Seventeen Media, Inc.

Mr. Pollard is a great advisor, because he is a true expert in his field. Unlike many other coaches, he offers advice that is relevant and practicable for a business’s specific needs, rather than a blanket approach. Mr. Pollard has helped our company immensely, particularly in the area of niche marketing. Since working with him to define our niche, we have not only improved our sales process and our marketing and PR efforts, we have also been able to improve the level of service that we give our clients and streamline our processes. One thing that came as a surprise to us was that it has even made more sense to media contacts than our previous, scattered message.

Brittany Walters-Bearden,
Co-Founder, At Large PR

No one knows and understands the Sales and Marketing side of business like Matthew. His experience and drive are second to none. Anyone who wants to move away from linear growth and align it to exponential growth should work with Matthew.

Juan Gonzalez,
Co-Founder, The Growth Institute

I had the very fortunate opportunity to work with Matthew, and I was startled by how fast and how well he was able to pinpoint exactly what changes I needed to make. His intuitive nature bordered on magic. Beyond fluff, beyond promises, Matthew was able to deliver solid and lasting results. For my money, his results are worth it and much much more.

Larunce Pipkin,
NLP Coach and Trainer

Matthew Pollard was a delight and genius to work with, effervescent and confidence-instilling.

Andrew Finch,
General Counsel & Company Secretary, Qantas

Matthew’s ability to show insight and create change in even the most experienced individuals, such as myself, is a skill not many people possess. Matthew’s advice and feedback were of vital assistance to me, and under his guidance I honed and critiqued my future training sessions. I was very impressed by Matthew’s invaluable advice. His business experience coupled with personal empathy and his ability to understand individual needs in order to help his client’s gain that edge is rare and highly commendable.

Christopher Teo,
MBA Program Facilitator, Australian Graduate School of Management

Matthew is a highly driven and focused individual. He has many strengths when it comes to building a successful business from the ground up. I was lucky enough to work with him while he took one of these ventures, Choice Mobiles, from a small telecommunications outfit, to a genuine B2B competitor to the likes of Telstra and Optus. Matthew is an old hand when it comes to entrepreneurial experience, while paired with what seems limitless fresh and innovative ideas.

Brent Sweerts,
Resource Planning Analyst, Mercer

Matthew is the best sales coach and mentor I have worked with. His energy, enthusiasm and attitude affects the people around him. He has had a tremendous impact on my business life. If you get the opportunity to work with Matthew, do it; you will definitely learn something.

Jeppe Langfeldt,
Sales and Marketing Manager, Terminalen

I have been working with Matthew for a year. I have achieved tremendous clarity and confidence. I feel more comfortable to approach my niche with my unique message and a story that’s relevant to them, a package of service that adds value and offer what they need. He is an inspiration. 

Lily G,
Rapid Growth Mentee

I recently set up a life coach business and I went from being £5k in debt to debt free in just 2 months, thanks to Matthew Pollard’s system. Thanks, it is amazing.

Claire Davey,
Life Coach

I got a lot of good feedback from Matthew. Listened to my problem and was actively thinking with me. Gave me next steps to make with my team to take us to the next level. Really good insights. I highly recommend.

Indrek Poldvee,
Customer Developer, Sorry as a Service

Before working with Matthew, I was missing parts to level up my 30-year book coaching business. Matthew pointed out that every day, I should reach out to business influencers and ask them to collaborate with me (after I established rapport). I ended up getting two well-known speakers to join me in my upcoming program, “Nonfiction Master Course.” This one tip takes little time or effort, and results in lots of income.

Judy Cullins,
Owner, BookCoaching.com

Matthew is a driven individual. His ability to engage clients and staff to take them to the next level is inspiring and shows genuine care. He has a unique ability to take any product or service provided by a business, find a prosperous new niche for it, and then differentiate it to propel the business into rapid growth. More amazingly, he seems to be able to scale a business to handle this growth seamlessly.
