Testimonials

"I attended Matthew Pollard’s Selling With Stories training at a sales kickoff meeting two weeks ago. It was relevant, gripping, and paradigm shifting. I have not seen another sales training hold the audience’s attention like this one and I am applying the lessons I took away from it already."

"Matthew’s take on storytelling made a lasting impression on our sellers. His logical and connection-based approach will help take us to the next level."

"Matthew Pollard has created a wave of storytelling across our organization. After two keynotes and a sales workshop, Matthew’s guidance has been embedded in our culture and is up-leveling how we communicate to our customers and internally."

"Matthew is an inspirational speaker with a clearly articulated & ACTIONABLE message. He spoke at our company’s SKO this year and helped us reframe the way we share stories with our customers. His message inspired me to change my limbic opening for one of the breakout sessions I was leading. I decided to tell my personal story, using his 3 cost buckets, to articulate why I work with my product…. thus feeding into why our product is at Hexagon. So many people connected with it and I could feel their energy in wanting to share their own stories with our customers! Truly awesome stuff! I am working to include his story telling concepts into our post SKO enablement to help everyone build out their own stories."

"Matthew delivered a 5-star performance. The feedback from the team has been extremely positive. In fact, the sales teams remarked that Matthew was the best presenter they’d ever seen, and they were anxious to return to their branches and practice their stories."

"Matthew’s message to our 850+ sales leaders hit a home run. The passion he has for the subject 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. His willingness to understand the needs and interest of our attendees was top notch, and we appreciate his and his team’s 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!!)."

"If you’re looking for an edge in sales, especially in highly technical sales, Matthew is the obvious choice."
