Testimonials
A 13 fold return on my investment…
“I’ve always considered myself to be a good listener. However, because of Matt’s referral program, I find myself listening differently and discovering a lot more referral opportunities I used to miss! I also rolled over $1 million from a recent referral already giving me a 13 fold return on my investment. I know there will be more to come.”
One of the industry’s best coaches…
“Matt Anderson is one of the industry’s best coaches. Matt will get to know you and your practice. Then he will customize some easily transferable ideas that will teach you how to teach your clients to refer you the referrals you want. He will then keep you accountable to your success.”
A 20% increase in my business just in the first 6 months…
I have been working with Matt Anderson in one of his group coaching calls for the past 6 months and have seen excellent results. I am asking for better recommendations and so far have seen a 20% increase in my business just in the first 6 months. I would highly recommend working with Matt Anderson “The Referral Authority”.”
I used to feel a bit awkward asking for referrals…
“I used to feel a bit awkward asking for referrals. Now I’m getting out of my own way and even have the habit of asking people I would never have asked before. I’m constantly thinking about, seeing and getting new opportunities.”
Mission Accomplished…
“I hired Matt to help me with 3 things: 1) Get a system in place that targeted my ideal prospects; 2) Develop much more effective prospecting language that fit my style; 3) Get 30-40 high quality, warmed-up referrals rather than 100 ‘cold’ names and numbers. Mission Accomplished.
P.S. My clients and COIs are very receptive to Matt’s referral language.”
Enjoyable presentation…
“Matt’s systems are easy to implement and have a proven successful record. But what really separates him from the referral expert pack is his enjoyable presentation. He is high energy. He is humorous and he is profound.”
A great tool in growing my business…
“I would like to state profoundly that working with Matt Anderson on Referrals has been a great tool in growing my business. I always thought I was getting good referrals but I was wrong. After working with Matt, we average 3 referrals a week. I also stress they are quality leads. We are averaging 82% closure rate on our referrals. I attribute that directly to Matt’s method of asking for quality referrals. I would recommend his service. Keep up the good work, Matt!!!!”
I’m excited about this system…
“I have been a financial representative for over 20 years. You get to the point where you feel you’ve talked to ‘everybody’ you know. I’m excited about this system as it will allow me the opportunity to talk to “everybody” that other people know.”
A great ‘light bulb’ moment…
“We all know that securing referrals is the most effective way to grow your business. But until now I’ve not really identified the best way to develop this opportunity.
A great ‘light bulb’ moment.”
Most informative and inspirational seminar…
“This was easily the most informative and inspirational seminar I have ever attended.
I know that my business will now be successful.”
“Awesome speaker and highly beneficial information.”
Held their attention for three hours…
“I brought 10 of my financial advisor clients to Matt’s three hour seminar. Matt held their attention for three hours. They all enjoyed the event.”
“Excellent. Simply very, very good.”
Inspired…
“I left his presentation feeling refreshed and inspired. I made a conscious promise to ask for referrals more often.”
Now I know how to use the tools…
Matt’s seminar made me realize that I already have the tools to ask for referrals – and now I know how to use the tools.
Matt’s advice simplifies the step by step process with various options that can be applied to our style.
“I am so much clearer about my value.”
“Matt helped me realize that I have to practice my referral process and be deliberate.”
“The best 50 minutes on referrals I have ever heard. I am now buzzed to go and ask for referrals. Thanks Matt.”
With Matt’s help, I have a method to get consistent referrals…
“Before I started Matt’s referral coaching, I was asking by saying: ‘I build my business by referral, do you know of anyone I could help?’
I would often get a ‘let me think about that’. I also would get referrals that never materialized into meetings. With Matt’s help, I have a method to get consistent referrals that are turning into business. In the past five months, I’ve generated over 40 new referrals, opened 10 new clients and have in excess of 100 million dollars in my newly built pipeline.
Matt is the last guy I would refer to my competitors.”
My rep referrals are up at least 100%…
“Before working with Matt Anderson, I was rarely asking for referrals and had no process in place. In 2009 I’ve added 6 new people – 4 from centers of influence. All 4 have made Superstarter and referred 6 others, 2 or 3 of whom I expect to hire. My rep referrals are up at least 100%. I enthusiastically recommend Matt’s systems to anyone in sales management wanting higher quality, active source candidates.”
“Matt re-ingnited my desire to believe in myself and advertise my personal values to help people.”
“Gave me the tools to reap rewards.”
“Made me want to do it.”
“Thank you. It was like something on the light – too long since I looked at this area.”
“Effective, practical, clear and exciting – what have you got to lose.”
“Very interesting presentation, with some good ideas.”
“Really helpful and interesting – certainly worth attending.”
“It’s silly not to ask! Matt helped me to ask in a more comfortable way.”
“As a young person starting brand new in the insurance industry Matt’s referral presentation offered knowledge and the confidence to succeed.”
“Delightfully entertaining, well worth the time, with ideas you can use.”
“Matt made it seem clear and simple how to ask for referrals and the importance of practicing this important skill.”
“It’s a mindset and the determination to fulfill my purpose -now I need to apply these learnable skills.”
Great Presentation!”
“To be a different person, you only need to be that person for a minute a day and then double it daily and Matt helps you do it.”
“Appreciate the reminder – ‘know your own worth’- gives confidence as reminder of why we should expect the referral, but first, you do have to ask.”
“Matt is energetic and knowledgeable on referrals and related aspects.”
“Excellent seminar and helped me to realize how much potential there is to acquire new clients through the ones I have already established a good relationship with (far more effective than cold marketing) – will put into practice immediately.”
“Matt’s presentation was an eye re-opener, listen to what he has to say, adapt it to your personality then just do it. You know it makes sense.”
“The event made me focus more on what I already do, and that I can quite easily be better at it if I have a strategy.”
“Good practical advice on how not to be scared and when to ask for referrals.”
“I wanted to give you some feedback on the meeting we had last night with Matt Anderson.
First – we had a capacity turnout, many new faces and people who ordinarily don’t turn out for meetings. There were almost 60 people in the room. Clearly “referrals” as a subject matter struck a chord.
Second – the comments I received after the event were 100% positive about Matt, about his subject and his delivery, and the feedback sheets tell the same story. One attendee came to me after and said that it was the best IFP event she had attended.
Third – We had some guests arrive and I spoke to two who are joining IFP on the strength of Matt’s presentation.
Matt really went down well – and a 90 minute presentation went by very quickly, it felt like 50 – 60 minutes. We would be keen to do the same thing at some of the other well attended branch meetings or perhaps the regional conferences, provided he is in the country.”
“Follow Matt’s advice if you are serious about getting quality referrals.”
“An exhilarating presentation which has set the brain racing.”
Nigel Graham
“You gave excellent information and insight.”
Hugh Gallagher
“A great session from a highly effective speaker.”
Stephen Blayney
“I am 50 years old and been in the insurance business for 26 years. From the time I started in 1984, I’ve been encouraged to make referrals the centerpiece of obtaining new business. Matt’s tactical and strategic and, most of all, timeless message resonates for all of us at any point in our journey.”
“I have been in sales and marketing for 38 years. The information learned from Matt is brilliant – relationships not networking.”
Having success with referrals breeds confidence…
“We were getting some referrals before we worked with Matt but it was hit and miss. Our opportunities are much larger and the type of referrals has definitely changed. I thought it was about getting a process for asking. Well, we have that now. What I’ve learned is that a process and having success with referrals breeds confidence; we expect people to refer us now. In the six months we worked with Matt, we have generated at least $50-60,000 worth of new business we wouldn’t otherwise have gotten.”
“Working with Matt has taught me exactly what to say, and more importantly exactly who to ask for when it comes to referrals. Matt’s process has allowed me to generate an additional $32,000 of commission in 4 months of working with him!”
“I made over $110,000 on a 12 month investment with Matt from ideas that I learned and implemented.”
“Approximately 70% of my new business comes from referrals; 80% of those referrals are from the centers of influence that I network with. I firmly believe that they refer me their clients and associates because Matt Anderson has helped me to realize three important things when meeting with centers of influence. First, that it is very important that the centers of influence know, like and trust me (I have to meet regularly with them in a one-on-one setting). Second, I have “trained” them so they know what clients I am looking for, specifically. And finally, Matt has helped me to teach them what to say to their clients to make the initial contact happen.”
“I was a Top 100 agent out of Middleton, WI. As a newer agent I hired Matt to assist my team in developing a referral approach that was comfortable and led to measurable results. I owe a big portion of my success as an agent to the relationship I forged with Matt..in helping me develop a systematic approach to help others first and in return get everything I ever wanted and more.”
