Public Speaking, Sales & Story-Selling, and Persuasive Presentation Experts

"What Can Comedians Teach  You About 
Public Speaking and Persuasive Presentation Skills?"™

Why do Fortune 500 companies hire comedians to teach communication skills to their upper management and staff? Because comedians are the masters of influence, "Story-Selling" techniques, and persuasive presentation skills.

As it turns out, stand-up comedians can teach us a lot.  They are the acclaimed experts on public speaking, sales & story-selling, motivation, and leadership communications.  Imagine learning their closely held secrets, the triggers of persuasion, the science of humor, and knowing how to influence and "work the crowd".

What if you could ...

• Instantly make people like you?
• Suddenly become persuasive and influential?
• Turn a potential "no" into a resounding "YES"!
  
• Eliminate your fear of public speaking? - FOREVER !
• Finally, get to "YES" ... without negotiating?

"Persuasion isn't about getting people to take an action … it's about getting them to believe the action you want them to take is their own idea!"

Persuasion is the #1 SKILL of highly successful leaders and ultra-prosperous sales professionals.  In fact, everything you want in life comes from a direct result of influence and persuasion.  Persuasion begins in the mind, and the clearer you are about what you want, the better the chances of actually getting it ... but only if you understand the powers of persuasion and the subliminal triggers of influence and motivation.

 "It's Not What You Know or What You Say That Counts ... It's What People REMEMBER You Said and How You Made Them FEEL!"™

Here's an example:

You can either assume the role of a negotiator and give-up something in return for gaining something else ... OR ... you can become a persuasive and influential LEADER and get what you want ... without weakening your position ... without giving up anything in return!  Negotiators tend to become invisible within the process, but persuasive leaders become UNFORGETTABLE!

Matt's cutting-edge "MATTRIXX Method" techniques are extremely effective because he combines the Science of Influence with his in-depth knowledge of powerful Persuasive Presentation Skills.  Your success depends on how skillfully you tell your story, and Matt is an expert in helping you discover, develop, and tell your stories.

“Your ideas on ‘Story-Selling’ really led me in the right direction to make myself and my community unforgettable.  In this business it’s not about creating a great looking ad in the paper or having a fantastic web site, it’s about making a human connection.  Thank you for this valuable selling tool.” - Wendy Buhr, The Kensington Assisted Living Communities, Hastings, NE

As Matt points out in his presentations, " ... information by itself doesn't motivate people into action - but influential leadership and persuasive presentation skills will!"

 "Matt was truly engaging ... I WANTED to listen to his presentation.  During his workshop, he offered key points and professional strategies I could take back with me and put into practice right away!" - Malissa Landis, Sage Age Mature Strategies, Harrisburg, PA

Matt uses his background as a research scientist, a professional stand-up comedian within the entertainment industry, an international leadership coach, and an executive-level sales and marketing consultant to show his clients how they can benefit from the power of adaptive Story-Selling techniques. (These techniques not only work for sales, marketing, and leadership development, they are also highly effective when applied within personal relationships.)

The success of Matt's clientele is an amazing and powerful testimonial to The MATTRIXX Method and his Signature Story-Selling concepts.
