Matthew is one of the best sales professionals I have ever met, he has a fantastic ability to generate rapport and inspire team bonding from the very outset. His strategic vision and leadership around developing sales professionals is incredibly impressive. When working through large complex deals, Matthew will always add value and help create the ROI position for clients. He also has an excellent practice of analysing the sales process to ensure no steps are missed. Lastly he is fun to work with, which always helps!

Matthew is was my line manager. We had been in a major transition phase within the field sales team for a while and are making tremendous progress. This is mostly down to Matthews excellent leadership and calm demeanour. He always leads from the front and is never shy in going forward. He networked internally very well throughout the company and always put a very positive spin on all situations! He is also one of the leading advocates of using social media, a vital tool within sales. He received this recomendation for all his hard work and determination throughout a difficult few years and not to mention the countless miles of driving.

      Working as part of the executive management team at ProspectSoft, I reported directly to the board to shape and grow the business both tactically and strategically. From April 2007 I introduced and developed a new business sales team through Alliance and Connect Partners and was responsible for all new business sales. My team and I sold solutions ranging from £10k to £100k+; and include CRM, E-Commerce, E-Mail Marketing and wider Web Solutions. I worked with closely with a number of key channel partners; presenting at events, participating in sales meetings and driving new sales through a multitude of avenues. Beyond this my main focus was the management of my team and their revenue targets, all of whom I have personally developed including internal and external sales teams as well as marketing led lead generation. Deploying a solution led approach, I am committed to delivering growth by working closely with businesses to understand their strategic and tactical requirements. Translating these into business solutions takes careful planning and execution in order to position them effectively. Show less
