If there is a person that can make you want to succeed, Matthew is that person. His knowledge in sales is second to none, and his energy level and passion are off the charts. He is the perfect keynote speaker, and will have people on their feet.

Matthew’s book is AMAZING, every chapter has triggered so many ideas that I had to read the book with a pen and paper on my side in order not to forget anything. I feel more confident about the future of my own company because NOW I have a strategy for selling.

Matthew spoke at our Marketing & Sales Summit in and was a huge hit! So much so that we are considering him for the keynote spot again this year. He had great energy, was very engaging, and offered our attendees some tips that were immediately applicable. He was all around fantastic!

Entrepreneurs’ Organization – Adelaide, Australia had the pleasure of a keynote and workshop with Matthew. He made the power of story real. The event was one of the highest rated events in the last 12 months. Attendees appreciated that Matthew genuinely wanted them to have valuable takeaways that were able to be implemented that day, and over the coming weeks.

It was easy to work with Matthew and his staff for pre-planning, content, and travel. Bonuses included a board dinner with Matthew the night prior, and white-labelled promotional videos useful for our marketing.

We were absolutely thrilled with Matthew’s talk. The way he delivered his experience through stories made the talk very relatable to the whole audience. Matthew has a very warm nature and makes everyone feel like his friend. It’s refreshing to have a presenter talk with you as opposed to at you. We would highly recommend Matthew to talk at your next event.

I just got off my first call with Matthew to go through my business. For context, I’ve been working on this business model concept for more than a year, had written a book, and hired several other well known expensive coaches and consultants to help me structure it. I was stuck and felt like I just wasn’t designing a business framework that would work for me, my lifestyle and, my clients.

At the risk of sounding too unbelievable or outrageous, in the course of 2 hours, Matthew helped me redesign a business that I can envision and get excited about. One that will truly help others. A business that places me the right way in front of the right clients. I don’t know if I would have ever come up with this structure on my own or figured out how to communicate it to my ideal clients, but Matthew laid it out in our call perfectly.

If you’re committed to building a business or are struggling to get clarity on what business model you should design, hire Matthew 1 on 1 if you can.

Matthew is an extremely talented speaker with the pace, engagement and intelligent content to keep even a room full of high-performing entrepreneurs (who frequently profess ADHD and inability to pay attention) on the edge of their seat for the entirety of his presentation.

And what struck me most was that a finely tuned and powerful presentation was only half of what he brought to the table. Matthew’s heart is 100% in the right place! How he handled everything, from the lead up to the actual event, to participating in the event and going above and beyond to engage the attendees both on and off the stage was moving to watch. He was fully present and focused on helping our attendees learn and grow, and it was not lost on me or any of them.

I have seen hundreds of speakers over the last few decades, and Matthew is one of the best. His down to earth “introverted” style is a breath of fresh air, and his content is amazing!

As President of the Austin chapter of the National Speakers’ Association, I know what it takes to be an outstanding speaker. Matthew is one of the best. He delivered a talk that was energizing, entertaining and relevant to our audience’s needs. He shared strategies and insights that we could put to use immediately. Matthew is unique in that he has a keen ability to focus on the exact solution needed to propel a business’ growth, no matter what stage the business is in. Several of our members have begun implementing his suggestions, with excellent results.

As President-Elect of the National Speakers Association/Carolinas, I understand what it takes for a speaker to stand out from the crowd. I have seen many speakers in my day, and Matthew is easily one of the most dynamic, engaging presenters I’ve come across. When Matthew spoke for an event I attended recently, the information he delivered was unique, perspective-shifting, and truly valuable. His ideas for growing a business and streamlining a sales process clearly resonated with the audience, many of whom commented that they would be immediately applying Matthew’s strategies to their businesses. An exceptional experience all the way around!

I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your presentation, and that your event was the highest rated event we have held to date, scoring a 9 out of 10 for content value. I also personally got compliments on the fact that no one ever felt you were trying to sell them, either from the stage or afterward when you joined us for networking time at the bar. It is refreshing to have a speaker that is an author that can achieve this. I would also like to express my gratitude on how easy it was to work with you and your staff. All in all, it was a great event, and I will suggest you to other learning chairs in our region and beyond any time I get a chance.

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.

Matthew shared 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 fantastic. Thank you Matthew!

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.

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 a masterful storyteller 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I found Matthew Pollard online and thought he would be a good fit to speak at our Builder 2.0 meeting. With 20 builders to convince, however, it was a bit of a hard sell. In the end, they went with it, and boy were they glad! I’ve never seen a group gather around the speaker at the end of the session to try to hear every word he said in order to learn as much as possible from him. He is truly an expert at rapid growth. He had all of us taking notes and producing actionable items in a very short time frame. I highly recommend him. He connected very well to a group of builders and business owners who think that marketing is secondary to, well, everything else.
