Matthew Pollard is one of the most valuable people I have ever met. Matthew is a forward thinking, proactive, organized and customer-service oriented mentor. No matter how complex the problem is, he will always come up with a brilliant, elegant, and cost-effective solution.

I just had my free call with Matthew, which I admittedly thought was going to be very sales oriented (him selling to me), but I was very happy to find that this was totally not the case. While Matthew does sell this same advice and information, the free phone call is his way of giving back. Matthew will quickly find out where you are within your business and help you with the next steps necessary. I highly advise anyone to take him up on his offer. You can’t find this much valuable information without a substantial up-front cost anywhere else that I’ve found.

Matthew pointed out things that would improve my website and gain rapid growth. I am grateful for his advice and professionalism.

I was so impressed by Matthew’s interview on the Excellence Expected podcast that I immediately booked a free 30-min consultation one month in advance. Honestly speaking, I was slightly afraid that it would turn out into a sales pitch, but fortunately it didn’t. Matthew gave me specific advice and provided links to valuable free resources with no strings attached. My first impression is that he genuinely cares, and I’m very grateful for his dedication to help business owners simplify their message and drive their company toward a path of rapid growth.

My half hour talk with Matthew was amazing. I wanted to increase downloads for my iOS app “inspirationAL-wake up inspired.” He showed me how to get feedback and find the customers who like our product and focus there. He made me see outside the box and gave me a good sense of power to help move forward. This call was free and I had his full attention and insightful interest for that time. I could not have asked for more and can not recommend him highly enough. The focus was on my business; no sales pitch, just great advice.

When it comes to sales and rapid growth, Matt’s the first person that comes to mind. Matt is easily the best salesperson I’ve come across. He knows how to get results – fast. He’s also 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.

We founded Hey Blink Me through a hackathon, and started working with Matt right after. Matt has provided a wealth of actionable advice and mentorship on how to target and build the audience for our business. Our main method of gaining traction was through a quiz and event. Matt helped us position the audience for the event and guided us on everything from getting sponsors, to email marketing, to guerrilla marketing. We were sorely lacking in marketing skills, and Matt provided actionable inspiration and creativity to build a viral campaign. Within 30 days we have gotten 700 potential users who have taken our quiz, which will be valuable when we launch our app officially.

30 minutes with Matthew is probably the best 30 minutes you can spend! He’s brilliant, insightful and quick to offer helpful information. I highly recommend reaching out to him!

Matthew impressed us with incredibly valuable content, entertainingly presented. He left the entire audience inspired, and equipped with immediate, valuable action steps to take in their businesses. Feedback after the event was unanimously enthusiastic!

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 is a true business leader and coach. With every interaction, Matthew brings boundless energy and enthusiasm with the outcome of rapid growth at the fore. After only our first interaction, we realized a massive return on investment. Matthew has great versatility in both sales and marketing and has helped provide a unified message, framework and accountability at every level. A structured framework has allowed us to realize and maximize our true worth, increasing sales volume and impacting our bottom line. After a very short time, Matthew has established himself as an integral part of our business and we look forward to continued success.

Matthew’s 30 minute Skype session helped my business tremendously. I was astounded by how quickly he grasped my business idea and was able to provide specifically targeted advice. My business was in the very early stages when building connections is vital, and he provided actionable advice and scripts to connect with influencers in my field. Within a week I had personally contacted and started a relationship with two leaders in my field, and I look forward to building many more valuable connections using his advice. I got more than I thought was possible out of a short Skype interview. I look forward to working with Matthew again in the future!

Matt is truly a guru when in comes to rapid growth in your business. He is a great mentor and speaker, and I am glad to have gotten some of his expertise and knowledge.

I interviewed Matt on the Salesman Podcast just before we launched. His advice around the marketing of our launch led our podcast to be awarded the title of New & Noteworthy by iTunes and being featured on the iTunes Podcast homepage.

Matthew has been an invaluable resource to our organization by providing business consulting services to the companies within the EdTech Austin network. His insights into business fundamentals are so important to the kinds of startups that we work with on a regular basis. He has helped a number of companies grow and reach new markets, investors and certainly customers. Matthew is a vital part of the Austin small business and startup ecosystem!

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 Pollard’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 could grow 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 news 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.

Spending two hours with Matthew is like a fast-paced, information-packed, full-day workshop. I had no idea how much information he could get across so quickly. He has had amazing success in building successful businesses and coaching others to replicate his methods. He helped me see how I could grow my business rapidly by focusing on my goals, strengths and the good I want my business to achieve. I left eager to work with Matthew again.

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 participation in our last Startup Weekend event in Austin, TX was highly valuable! Indeed, his ability to advise teams as they were trying to build startups was great. He is a knowledgeable person who knows how to inspire participants as well as lead them into the right direction. Plus, his feedback as a jury member helped the panel selecting promising startups. Hope we’ll get a chance to collaborate again sometime soon!

We were beyond blessed to have Matthew as a coach and guest speaker during our studio launch week. No doubt participants left the room energized, more knowledgeable and overall inspired to do more.
