Doug Bennett

Member, Million Dollar Round Table

As a member of the Million Dollar Round Table Association, Doug Bennett is always looking for something to help his fellow members achieve better prospecting and closing. And Matthew’s strategic use of storytelling to connect with clients deeply resonated with him. And the stories and the storybook concept that Matthew speaks about is transferable across all industries.

Matthew was the consummate professional, even suggesting he tailor his presentation to accommodate the different languages and translators that would be there. No other speaker in the past had ever brought that up before Matthew did, which demonstrated his true professionalism.

Fred Diamond

Co-Founder & President, Institute for Excellence in Sales

We’ve had hundreds of speakers talk about sales and business development to our top audiences, but Matthew Pollard exceeded expectations. He had great content that was very well presented, and his ability to engage with the audience was like no other. Already he has helped our sales professionals take their performance to the next level, just by being able to immediately implement the strategies and advice he discussed during his presentation. Matthew was easily one of our top 3 speakers, and we look forward to bringing him back.

Paul Findlay

Board Member, Entrepreneurs' Organisation Brisbane

Paul Findlay requested that Matthew speak at his event after hearing how highly rated he was as a presenter from other industry organizers. Starting with the pre-event communication, Paul was confident he made the right choice, and the presentation was the highlight of the 2-day event. It’s always a good sign when your speaker is swarmed after their presentation by attendees wanting to keep the conversation going. The fact that Matthew customized his presentation to he was prepared and focused on helping this group succeed with knowledge and strategies they could implement right away.

Heather Thatcher

CEO, The Solopreneur Survival Guide

Before working with Matthew in the Rapid Growth Academy, Heather had no business experience at all. Feeling lost and stressed about now having to go after clients and sell online, she was reassured by Matthew’s experience and ability to lay it all out in an easy, step-by-step process that she could follow. The feedback that Matthew and the members of other the Facebook group offered was invaluable, especially when she found herself needing a gentle nudge to make those sales calls. Surprisingly – even as an introvert – Heather actually found the process to be fun, and now enjoys making sales calls. Now people are seeking Heather out, and she’s increased her close rate from 5% to 82.5%

Nick Sinclair

Founder, TOA Global

After being highly recommended to Nick Sinclair as a speaker for his conference, Matthew Pollard spoke to a room full of 150 accountants and blew them away! His content is first-class, and the way he delivers the content is absolutely perfect. It was engaging, educational, and actionable. The feedback from the clients noted Matthew as one of the highest rated speakers of the entire conference. The way Matt gives structure and process to sales has actually inspired Nick to work with Matthew directly as part of his overall business training process

I found my call with Matthew extremely helpful and got to work immediately after I hung up. Even though I am a few uploads away from implementing all the changes he suggested, I have reason to believe that Mathew’s suggestions will have a dramatic impact on my business.

Carol Barrett,
Managing Director, Virtual Language Practice (Fluency 365)

I just want to say thank you for this email and tip. It made a huge difference for me. I used to struggle with defining my niche and target market. Having implemented the steps you provided, now I have a clear vision whom I need to talk to. I’m now working on customizing my website and marketing strategy to address and to work best to the audience I defined and I feel very excited about it! 🙂 I’m sure I’m going to achieve amazing results! 🙂

Anastasia Budevich,
Business owner, Woodnax

It’s been a real pleasure to work with Matthew both from a tactical point of view but also strategy as well. His system is proven, and he has a tremendous passion for helping entrepreneurs truly grow their companies. I would recommend Matthew to friends who are struggling with growth. Thank you for going 110% on my company.

Piyush Patel,
Author, Lead Love Tribe

I recently completed the free 30 minute call with Matthew Pollard. In such a short time, he delivered invaluable advice that stopped all the doubts I’ve been having about my business and helped me get clear on my next steps. His approach is also fantastic. No harsh sales tactics or pressure, and very reasonable and high-value options. Thank you Matthew!

Mira Boucher,
Founder, SensaKids Ltd.

Before working with Matthew I had a good understanding of different tactics to run a business, but they were all competing for my attention. Going through the materials of the Rapid Growth Academy allowed me to see how all those different tactics fit into a single well-functioning system. Now, my focusing on one activity creates a ripple effect and produces outcomes in multiple areas of my business. It allows me to work more efficiently and productively.

Natasha Vorompiova,
Founder, SystemsRock

Once again, Matthew knocked his session out of the park. This is the second time I’ve hired him: the first was for a smaller meeting and this time was for our annual meeting’s convention and a breakout session. He customized his “Rapid Growth, the Lazy Way” to our industry and even adapted the vocabulary he used so it better fit our attendees’ experiences and profession. Attendees made comments on the post-conference evaluations that “Matt Pollard was right on the money” and that his presentations were what they liked most about that day’s sessions. Thank you again, Matt, for being so easy to work with and for doing your “homework” to make sure you met our expectations.

Jessica A. Smith,
Assistant Executive Director, OGR

Matthew is a marketing genius and a phenomenal speaker. Despite hearing his Rapid Growth keynote multiple times, I get goosebumps every time he tells the sales systemization story. At his core, Matthew is masterful story-teller and knows how to engage his audience, making him a marketing guru and an expert at crafting a unique message. Matthew was able to hook and engage our crowd of technical professionals and inspire them to be better marketers.

Shehzad Bharwani,
Co-Founder, FinTech Austin

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.

Scott Healy,
Partner Sales Manager, Oracle

Before starting the program, I was stumbling around in my job, looking for a solid direction. I was missing crucial parts of the puzzle. Just going through the first two weeks of this course has changed everything for me. There are many different elements being crafted here, to eventually create a rapid growth formula. I am already planning a networking strategy, to take on more higher paying clients. I can see that taking this new message online is going to change everything again. Matthews experience and attention to detail is very impressive. I expect to make a solid return on investment before the end of the course.

Darran Butler,
Owner, NGI Consultants

Before working with Matthew, I had several ideas and directions I wanted to go with two of my businesses. Not having clarity and alignment in these directions caused my mind to be chaotic and to over-process information. As a result, I was accomplishing a little bit in a lot of different areas. After working with Matthew over three sessions, I was able to streamline my focus, clear the chaos out of my mind, and focus on the primary tasks at hand which will give me the most growth and revenue. My mind is much clearer and I am more organized at work and in my personal life.

Julie Hutchinson,
Founder, Core Performance

I have seen Matthew present multiple times and have always come out of one of his presentations engaged. Matthew is an excellent speaker and storyteller. I would highly recommend him for any speaking engagement.

Jeff Kikel,
President/CEO, T-Werx Coworking

Matt’s coaching was excellent! He gave tons of value. He also showed legitimate concern for the well being of my business, which some of my other business coaches lack. I was so happy with our initial 3 coaching sessions that I will be hiring Matt for another 6 month contract!

Jud Johnson,
Owner-Founder, Luxe Films

Matthew spoke at one of our Rotary Meetings about Rapid Growth. Although it was aimed at businesses, it was evident that it could also be adapted to non-profits. We have a project that we thought might take a year and a half to two years, mostly due to fundraising. Matthew showed us how we could get it done in a couple of months instead. His knowledge of social media and message targeting is spot on! We are re-planning the project considering what we learned from Matthew.

Jeff Lamb,
Board Member, Rotary Club of Lakeway / Lake Travis

Wonderful information and advice on what I should do to increase business and get into a niche market. Very friendly and engaging. Time (30-40 minutes) was well worth it. I look forward to talking with Matthew again.

Brad Yochum,
Owner, QbCure

Prior to working with Matthew, my marketing messaging was inconsistent at best. Matthew was able to quickly break down my challenges, diagnose my issues, and build a sound foundation of solutions. I had many relevant to do’s and direction from Matthew after each and every meeting. He holds you accountable to make those changes, and it is worth all the time and cost I spent on working with Matthew!

Dan Fuller,
President, Haley Custom Homes

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 previous season. It was fantastic. If you are considering working with Matthew, I would highly recommend it.

Jaime Jay,
Host, Stop Riding The Pine

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.

Nick Vaidya,
Managing Editor, The CEO Magazine

I got a lot of good feedback from Matthew. He gave me and my team feedback just in 30 min that gives more focus to tasks we should start doing now. 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 really recommend.

Indrek Poldvee,
Customer Developer, Sorry as a Service

I was thoroughly impressed that Matthew took the time to jump on the phone with me for 30 minutes simply to offer free advice. Not once did I feel he was trying to sell me his services. I would recommend that anyone takes the time to listen to Matthew as he offers some sage advice. Thanks again!

Kacey Gorringe,
Account Executive, Friendemic

Very interesting meeting. I really enjoyed all the helpful tips provided by Matthew. A good experience to have.

Arnold Njikam,
CEO, S-42
