Overview

I help bring a new mindset to your sales and marketing team to generate more qualified leads, improve conversions, and drive the bottom line.

"Stop Selling, Start Helping" is a concept that rings true no matter the industry.

People buy differently today; in fact, we know that more than 70% of the buying decision is made before you even know a prospect exists!

If your salespeople and marketing team are still stuck in the traditional sales mentality, you WILL lose out to those who embrace this new mindset of helping and becoming a resource to your prospects instead of just being someone who's there to sell something.

Stop selling. Start helping instead.

Matt spoke at our Canton South Rotary and hit a homerun. Sometimes Rotary meetings can be the same from week to week. Matt's talk on " Stop Selling. Start Helping" changed the environment that day. He got our guys engaged and energized. He is a personable down to earth guy who really understands what selling is all about. I would highly recommend Matt to speak to any group.

Matt brings a certain "real" feeling to his talks. You never felt like you were being talked at or talked down to. He lets you see him as a real person from the start. And his message(s) are not your typical sales messages. Matt brings a truly unique and inspiring presence to the stage. I'd highly recommend him and can't wait to catch one of his talks again!

What to expect

I understand it's tough to find the right speaker.

The success of an event can often hinge on both the relevance of the topic and, ultimately, the quality of the speaker. From small corporate training sessions to conference breakouts, sales workshops to monthly association meetings, as the person responsible for securing a great speaker, the pressure is all on you!

I get that...and I'd like to help! Here's what you can expect from me...

- Prompt responses and respect for your time
- Personal phone conversation to understand how I can best serve you and your audience
- Professionally prepared presentation, customized to your audience
- A copy of my book "Stop Selling, Start Helping" for every one of your attendees (and an autograph session, if desired)
- Post-event follow up/feedback

Have another idea or expectation? Let me know, and I'll see what I can do to help.
