It was a pleasure having Matthew speak at the Sales 2.0 Conference in Philadelphia. He closed our program with some great ideas that our audience could put into play immediately. His stories and statistics engaged the audience and got them thinking. I would recommend Matthew to speak for sales leaders who want to increase sales.

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.

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.

I was privileged to hear Matthew speak at the Freelance Conference in Austin, Texas. What impressed me most was how quickly he identified gaps in critical service models in the examples he gave and, more importantly, how he dove in and solved the problems.

Few people excel at both identifying problems at the big-picture level AND crafting and executing detailed solutions. Matthew is a rare talent.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

The quality of this course and the depth of content far exceeds what can typically be found. Matthew knows how to get things done.

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.

I found this program to be incredibly helpful. I wish that I had gone through this program when I was a new business owner, so that I could have made the last few years of my life more productive, and I strongly urge any new business owner to take the time to do so. For anyone who doesn’t feel like they have the time to do this program, ask yourself if you have the time not to. For me, several hours (plus the additional time I spent in coaching with Matthew) could have saved me several years.

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

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.

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.

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.

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. 

Matthew provides me insightful advice on clarifying my business goals, my reasons for having these goals, and developing a clear plan to build a business based on that goal. He shares detailed experience and tools from his own efforts building a business, enabling me to jumpstart my process with the benefit of his experience. Outstanding course and experience.

After only a few weeks with Rapid Growth Academy, Matthew’s insight, “tough love,” and suggestions helped me jumpstart my business in a way I had never done in 25 years. Thank you, Matthew.
