Testimonials
“Before I came across Matthew’s writing and teaching I had been using 3 books by well-known small-business marketing experts (including Michael Port of Book Yourself Solid) to plan and improve my marketing. I had read each book several times and was implementing the ideas they talked about.
However none of them is as practical, down-to-earth, bullshit free or as damned useful as Matt’s advice. He takes ideas which make sense in theory, and converts them to something you can start doing tomorrow. No. Something you can start doing today.
I’ve got a marketing degree, I used to be a top sales person at my old company. I’ve worked in sports marketing for years and I’ve studied marketing till it comes out of my ears. However most of what I learnt wasn’t directly applicable to the small business marketing I needed to do on an everyday basis. So I’d had to spend lots of that time converting what I learnt about Dell’s newest social media marketing campaign into something I could use myself. No longer! Now I just wait for a pearl of wisdom from Matt and put it into practice straight away.
Since I started working with Matt, I’ve got 2 new clients and for the first time ever I’ve got a simple, implementable plan for my follow up marketing. I’ve saved I don’t know how much time in figuring out which marketing tactic to implement next. But more important to me than those is that I know I’ve got someone who’s got my back when I need him. Someone who’ll give me the advice I need to hear when I need to hear it.
So my advice? Hire Matt. Tell him about your situation and he’ll let you know what you need to do. Then get on with doing it. Straight away.”

“Matthew, I wanted to let you know that I did what you said and now look where it’s gotten me!
I spent Thursday & Friday photographing His Holiness The Dalai Lama for the Drew Katz Foundation … By the mid afternoon of the first day (press conference) I was officially a part of the Event coordinators Team …
… More than anything I want to say thank you to you for helping me to make this happen …”

“I implemented just ONE of Matthew’s suggestions and signed eight new patients overnight, whilst putting in place a system for not letting my existing patients forget about me, ever.”

“Btw, guess what – I have already attained my goal of 3 clients per week for the next several weeks! I’m booked solid until the end of April! Crazy – and I feel I have our phone call to thank for it! It was just the kick in the bum I needed to move forward with things!”

I connected with Matt when I was struggling with my marketing. Matt broke through my confusion and suggested some simple website tweaks that lowered my bounce rate by around 10%. He also talked me thru the issues I’d been having around focusing my marketing efforts. Matt was incredibly generous with his time and expertise. I really enjoyed his friendly, open manner and useful suggestions.

A young cousin of mine discovered Matthew while researching various web-based services and forwarded me one of his pithy, amusing, and above all, helpful emails. It wasn’t long before I found myself speaking to him in person, even though we live the whole world apart. I must be his slowest and least profitable client, yet he is constantly bringing wonderful tools and intelligent solutions to my attention. He’s smart, he’s funny, he helps me see the forest AND the trees.

“Your help has been fantastic! You’re insightful, you quickly get to the problem and provide clear-as-a-bell ideas.
I was struggling with the logistics of my E-Course and you had a brilliant solution that I immediately implemented…and that allowed me to breathe again.
Best of all, you’re pleasant to work with, cute, and have a great accent!”
- Stacey Morris, Focus Copywriter, NYC, NY
“Between you and me, we had doubts (as you always do) before hiring you, but I’m glad we took the plunge on this small assignment. Please tell your other clients, from me, that “the quality of Matthew’s advice was spot on, he has great foresight and articulates himself well. A true professional, hire him.”
- Gary Bury, Managing Director, Mediaburst, Cheshire, UK
My session with Matt both shamed and inspired me into action: shamed me into sorting out an outstanding financial mess that had been hanging around for months, and inspired me to put together a contact page on my website for freelance work. He combines ass-kicking and encouragement for optimum results and both I, and HSBC, are very grateful. A bit scared, yes, but mainly grateful.

“I was procrastinating on redesigning our membership site, and every day I looked at it, it literally burned my eyes – and I know the paying customers couldn’t have been too happy with it either!
I kept telling myself I ought to get to work and redesign it, but each new day brought with it my new excuses, and new creative ways rationalize putting it off. I took Matt’s advice and regrouped, focused on the task at hand – and finished in 45 minutes something I had put off over and over – and that terrible design would probably STILL be burning my eyes to this day if I hadn’t stepped up thanks to Matt.”
