Business Workshops

booming. Revenues are up 300% in a
down market. Your "signature story" and team-building
workshops put our office on the right track! Thank you Matt !!!" - Roger Remling, President, Kenai Investments Inc.
“In the week following Matt’s presentation I closed
100% of my appointments and doubled the amount per sale from my anticipated dollar
commitment. In addition, without coaxing, each client complimented me on 'my style' of
presentation. I sold $28,000 in memberships on 6 appointments. I
believe my success is directly attributed to his coaching.” – Rebecca
Trujillo, Director of Investor Relations, Albuquerque Economic Development
"In less than 2 hours, Matt was able to accomplish an
amazing feat -- he got our salespeople to FINALLY understand why they should be working as
a team; sharing their knowledge and experience with each other, as well as why it was so
important for them to feed info back into our marketing department. And our marketing
group discovered the REAL power behind professional presentation skills and divergent
networking research. In one presentation, Matt achieved what I would call 'the
miraculous' in terms of re-educating and motivating our employees."
–Wade Nelson, Toyota
"Wow! Matt is not only charming and witty, but his
intellectual prowess encourages one to overcome their fear of public speaking! I

After your examples, it seemed so obvious, and I kept wondering why I had never come
across these ideas while I was completing my MBA?" -- Dolores Noble
