Matthew Pollard is masterful! In two short hours Matthew synthesized my life’s work. He curated decades of my career as an explorer then created a map on how to make this knowledge relevant to the modern world. I have spent more years and more money than I care to admit on courses and training to accomplish what Matthew and I have achieved in just our first session.

At Oracle’s annual sales kickoff, I was surprised when Matthew was introduced and then told us about the power of storytelling. He walked us through the components of a good story as well as the science behind the benefits of using it in a sales context. As a content marketer at heart, I believe in the importance of the quality of your messaging. Whether that’s your ad copy or opening on a cold call, the quality of your message will make all the difference. Matthew’s speech nailed it! It was inspiring, empowering and actionable.

He made me curious so I went a bit deeper. I saw his book, the Introvert’s Edge, was a top seller so I read it. I got so much out of it from a sales perspective! I studied his structure for storytelling and felt it was attainable, even for a big company like ours, to adopt. Credit goes to our sales leader, Chris, but I’m proud to say that our division at Oracle has led the way in using Matthew’s framework for storytelling. Our customer win stories are now more than just a list of cold facts. We’re crafting rich, descriptive language that is not only enjoyable to read but also effective at educating other sales people.

I didn’t stop there. I caught him as a guest on a podcast, signed up for his newsletter and read many of his blogs. His Rapid Growth Academy seemed perfect for my wife’s leadership coaching business. We only recently signed up but I can see there’s a lot of value in following his process. In fact, we dropped our marketing agency in favor of the Rapid Growth Academy. The technology he uses, the quality of his materials and the process he takes us through is top-notch and just what we needed.

Matthew is relevant to salespeople, marketers, business developers, entrepreneurs and anyone in the business of convincing others to take action. Matthew is special. He has really thought through sales, branding, and storytelling and he has a way of communicating that is down-to-earth, inspiring and easy to act on.

I attended Matthew Pollard’s Selling With Stories training at a sales kickoff meeting two weeks ago. It was relevant, gripping, and paradigm shifting. I have not seen another sales training hold the audience’s attention like this one and I am applying the lessons I took away from it already.

I am a huge fan of the Rapid Growth Academy. The training led me to be able to differentiate T-Werx, my co-working space, from all our competitors and allow us to grow our revenue over 50% last year. I loved the training so much that I began to coach people at T-Werx through the program, and it has become a mainstay of our training programs for entrepreneurs.

If it wasn’t for Matthew I wouldn’t be where I am at today in my business, or even in my life. Matthew is the real deal and working with him directly in his Rapid Growth Academy was the game changer that catapulted me to success. 

Hands down, he is the best coach I have ever had in my life. I will forever be grateful.

Matthew was a perfect fit to kick off our sales rally! His wealth of experience, captivating presentation style, and genuine commitment to leaving a lasting impact on our team set him apart. Matthew comes from the door-to-door world, giving him a unique and authentic understanding of our industry. His personal journey of knocking on 93 doors to secure his first sale, and then systemizing the process to become a top-performing salesperson was a motivation to our team while equipping them with valuable tools they could implement immediately.

If you’re seeking to inspire your team at an upcoming event, Matthew is a great choice. He will motivate, inspire, and unleash potential in your entire sales team.

Matthew provided a great mix of learning and doing. With a group of entrepreneurs, this is always a great combination, as it keeps them engaged. Pre- and post-event communications were awesome, with Matthew and his team providing everything we needed to plan and market our event.

Matthew delivered an amazing keynote to our members, and he and his team were flexible and easy to work with. I appreciated the level of information they provided (headshots, promo videos, short and long bios, etc.) as well as the ease of payment options. They were responsive, ahead of schedule in providing the slide deck, and flexible with our room set-up in the venue. We’d love to have Matthew back in the future for a longer workshop!

Matthew, I wanted to take a minute to thank you for your work with Colliers here in Austin. I found your teaching style and objectives to be geared towards helping us find what works best for us as opposed to the “hard sell” sales trainers I have used before. On top of enjoying working with you, I have to say the results have been fantastic. Your technique of engaging the prospect through storytelling has been outstanding.

One of my employees had this to say regarding your training: “It doesn’t matter what they say, I just tell them a story and they say yes. I no longer have to be a bulldog. I used to have to get juiced up to make cold calls and be ready to push through objections. Now I can just stroll in, tell stories and make appointments.”

Our success on setting meetings has quadrupled thanks to your help, with over a million dollars of potential income associated with those meetings in just the short time since your training finished. Also, bookings have gone up not just in number but quality, as one of your trainees booked the largest meeting he has ever set.

Lastly, the employee that was struggling to make calls has gone from potentially on his way out with little hope of survival without some change to suddenly obtaining the confidence he needs to set meetings. His prospect sheet has doubled and that is definitely a feel good story from my perspective.

Your training was absolutely one of the best investments I have ever made in my employees and my company.

Matthew came into my life at a time where I had lost focus and direction within my business. I wasn’t even sure how to define myself or what differentiated me from others working in the field.

Matthew coached me for a total of six hours over three appointments. I cannot begin to explain the feeling I got when it all came together, when I realized what had been holding me back and what differentiated me in my field.

Matthew is an amazing coach, I recommend him highly. No matter what it is you need help with, he is your guy. He is focused on you and your outcomes and works with you until you achieve them. You will move forward with the knowledge and tools, understanding and confidence that will help you take your business to the next level.

Since working with Matthew, my life has turned around and my business is on track. He went above and beyond what I expected. Matthew, thank you for challenging me and helping me to find my niche.

Matthew Pollard gave a compelling presentation at the Sales 2.0 conference in Philadelphia. It was my first time to hear him and I gained many great ideas from him. His talk was filled with valuable, useful ideas, and his delivery was highly motivating, powerful, and fun. No wonder he’s been so successful! I recommend you get into his audience as soon as you can. Learn from Matthew.

Matthew Pollard has been a godsend. His advice is counterintuitive, brilliant, and effective. When we started, I hadn’t had a major sale in so long I was getting ready to quit my business and get a 9-to-5 job. After just two hours of coaching, his insights changed my whole approach. On my very next sales call, I followed his advice to the letter–and landed a $40,000 project in just 40 minutes. Within 6 weeks, I had closed a total of $80,000 in sales. He is a miracle worker!

Before meeting Matthew, I had tried several different business programs, all stating they were THE solution to my problems. However, I found myself continually disappointed, as they only addressed part of my issue and left me with more questions than answers.

I originally heard of Matthew on a podcast and immediately resonated with his message, as he described his story of overcoming difficulties and ultimately achieving a great deal of success. Matthew is also an introvert, which I can definitely relate to! As an introvert, I always thought that I would need to put on my “extroverted mask” to achieve success in sales and marketing; however, this was never authentic to me, so I struggled to really see growth in my business.

After hearing of Matthew on the podcast, I booked a free consultation call. He provided an accurate and quick assessment of my business problems and gave me straightforward and actionable solutions. So I invested in his Rapid Growth Academy, and have been a true fan and advocate for his work ever since. It has been about 4 years now since that first call, and I’ve only received more and more value from Matthew and his Rapid Growth process.

My strategy for attracting clients feels authentic (never salesy) and I have a structured process for all my business strategies. I’ve made thousands of dollars as a result of implementing Matthew’s systems and continue to see growth and progress to this day. I can’t say enough about the positive impact Matthew has had on my life, both personally and professionally. He’s helped me see my own potential and believe in myself, even when I’ve had doubts. He’s continued to encourage me to pursue my goals and always goes above and beyond to provide helpful, compassionate advice.

I honestly don’t know where I would be if it wasn’t for meeting Matthew and gaining a clear direction for my business. He’s truly changed my life!

I was fairly pleased with the messaging for my business in its current state. However, participating in Matthew’s workshop talk triggered a higher level of clarity. I must confess I found myself rushing ahead – using the worksheet – feverishly wanting to dig deeper. I ended up not just polishing my messaging, but enhancing my target audience. It’s the day after, and I am already improving my business. Matthew is the real deal, and he made our conference better because of it.

Well known and successful as a marketing, PR, and social media strategist, I recently recognized that my firm’s sales pipeline was dry. In fact, I was losing confidence in my ability to find more clients when I needed them most. After investing in Matthew’s Rapid Growth program, and putting to use his logical sales systemization approach, within two weeks I generated several leads and tripled my investment by landing a $9,500 contract, which includes a potential bonus of 30% in the next 30 days.

Better yet, using Matthew’s sage advice, this new sale is poised to become a $60,000-plus client over the next 12 months, and more bonuses to come. Matthew is “The Rapid Growth Guy,” and I would add that he is a “Champion Sales Coach” with unique talents to bring out the best in anyone by showing you how to get your new sales approach up and running like never before. Looking ahead, I have a whole new outlook on sales, and I now know how to ensure that my new business pipeline will always be full.

Through Matthew’s guidance in strategic growth, my social following increased by over 3,500 in two months, with just half his recommendations implemented! The numbers continue to grow! I cannot recommend him enough.

Matt Pollard is a sales GENIUS and easily the best salesperson I’ve come across. I went from charging $1,000 per client, to signing 3 deals worth a total of $35,000 in less than 2 weeks. The breakthrough came in refining my sales approach: Talking about outcomes, like profits, instead of features, like deliverables of services rendered. 

Matt knows how to get results, fast. He’s a brilliant coach and mentor, and knows exactly how to find the limiting factor in a system, or someone’s life, and help them move through it. If you get a chance to work with him, do it.

Matthew’s Rapid Growth process works. When I started with Matthew, I was all over the place with my business and I didn’t have set processes in place…not to mention that I was terrible at selling. As a result, I was starting to lose clients without any new ones to replace them.

Matthew and I worked together one-on-one over the course of six weeks to fix my business model and find the growth strategies that would work for me, and then I spent about 90 days implementing those strategies into my business. Those 90 days felt really long, because even though I was getting prospects on sales calls, it still seemed like no one was buying.

But then, almost overnight it, it all turned around. I started landing deals for the consulting package that Matthew helped me create, and in addition, I landed a $124,000 project from an inbound lead…a lead I never would have gotten if I hadn’t been following the Rapid Growth model. The Rapid Growth strategy takes time and energy, sure, but now my business is on a trajectory that is sustainable and profitable, thanks to Matthew!

Brilliant… Matt can hit a nail on the head with a hammer throw. I have done a huge variety of things in my life and want to do so many things. That is a common problem. Yet I knew that I needed to find that anchor or beach head around which everything coalesces. In a flat two hours he had a solution that fit perfectly, one I had struggled with for a long time. It is not easy to define a statistician, a psychometrician, a database marketer, a strategist, a P/L F500 leader, a pricing specialist, a publisher, a show host, and so many other attributes in three words that resonate. He did it.

Put simply, Matthew is the best sales and niche marketing coach/trainer I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. Over the past ten years I have repeatedly utilized Matthew to create sales legends within my own organization, including people of mediocre ability and little to no experience. Within months of Matthew working with my sales staff, he helped increase not only sales volume, but company bottom line. Matthew’s ability to sniff out untapped niche markets makes him a powerhouse for business growth.
