Attendees will leave this session feeling a renewed excitement for their business – but most important, with a reliable plan for success based on three simple steps:
I discovered Matthew when planning our multi-city sales kick-off event. Matthew’s presentation and original strategies stood out to me as something that could provide us a real advantage over our competition, and that could be operationalized across our large organization.
From the day we engaged Matthew, I was impressed by his energy and how much work he put into customizing his presentation, as well as understanding our marketplace and the competitive landscape. His delivery in all ten presentations was not only on point and entertaining, but the way he mixed in both his personal and his clients’ transformation stories left all attendees believing success was possible for them too.
On top of that, during each presentation, Matthew delivered an original, customized story about one of our customers, as if he’d worked for our company for years. He did an excellent job articulating the client’s struggles (from a functional and emotional perspective), the implementation, including industry acronyms, and the final outcome. It was a great example of Matthew’s ability to identify and add genuine depth to his storytelling – an incredibly valuable technique for my team to walk away with.
If you’re looking for an edge in sales, especially in highly technical sales, Matthew is the obvious choice. He will not only have a strong grasp of your industry and client needs, he will articulate the exact reasons prospects should work with you, in a value-packed story your reps can use again and again to clearly stand out from your competition.
Matthew’s message to our 850+ sales leaders hit a home run. The passion Matthew has for sales showed in each prep call, email, session planning and beyond. He thought outside the box for our group and made sure the message aligned with our theme, which was “Give Back”. Matthew invited the Make a Wish Foundation and told their story as a way of bringing the true meaning of his message home for our attendees. His willingness to understand the needs and interest of our attendees was top notch and we appreciate his work to make his time at the AA-ISP Leadership Summit as beneficial as possible for all involved. We would recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a dynamic speaker who has true passion for his topic (and we already have!!)
We had the pleasure of having Mathew speak and teach at two of our events in the last year. One was for Sales Leaders at our Annual Sales Managers Retreat in Park City Utah, and the other was at our Annual Epic Event in Dallas Texas where we host Hundreds of Sales Professionals for an Amazing day of learning. Mathew was a Rock Star at both. He was engaging and delivered a very impactful message filled with takeaways that everyone could start using immediately. We will surely have him again. We highly recommend!!!
“The builder crowd is very hard to impress, but every word out of Matthew’s mouth was very valuable, applicable, and actionable. I’ve never seen a speaker have every single attendee gathered around them at the end of the session, trying to get more information. Quite impressive.”
“I’m an introvert myself, so I know the importance of reliable, adaptable systems that draw on our greatest strengths. Matthew has nailed a process that harnesses our creativity, empathy, and analytical thinking to cultivate relationships that create the solutions your customers need.”
“Introverts can set the world on FIRE, and Matthew will show you how in The Introvert’s Edge. Introverts, it’s time to IGNITE!”
