"Matthew Bennett program did WONDERS for not only my book sales, but my overall business!

I listened to Matthew Bennett’s teleseminars and read through his material thoroughly, following his directions to the letter. It paid off in ways I had not dreamed of! In my first major deal, I achieved a multi-million dollar public/private partnership between my company, a major financial institution, and a national non-profit organization.

Thank you so much, Matthew!" * [Results not typical] --Carla Douglin, The Douglin Group, Inc, Owner You are worth every penny I invested in you. Much gratitude. "You really made my day! Not only was your unique marketing idea for my book brilliant, you super-charged my enthusiasm for finishing it. I knew it would be a challenge to come up with an enticing way to position a book whose message is more of a cautionary tale. Your creative idea to market the book to the likely buyer, rather than the likely reader, was fantastic! Way to go. You are worth every penny I invested in you. Much gratitude." --Carl Weisman, author of "So Why Have You Never Been Married?" He gives step-by-step information how to write, print and sell your book.

(The net to me will be about $11,000.) I have also made some mental shifts as a result of your teachings regarding pricing and reworking the product itself to sell in larger quantities. I think I'm well on my way!" -- Susan Arthurs, Blue Skies Ideas I am now easily asking for and receiving between three and five times higher fees for my keynotes, coaching and seminars.

I highly recommend Matthew Bennett as a speaker or coach.

I feel so fulfilled and you turned on my inner light brighter than I could have anticipated. To quote the movie Casablanca,” this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” --Ana W "Our personal meeting with Matthew Bennett was valuable beyond words. As we shared more of our story, Matthew began to see our books in a whole new light. We now have a new perspective on where we need to go next. We thank Matthew not only for his generosity of time, but also his generosity of spirit. We felt him open his heart to us. We are most grateful." --Abraham R & Johnny E "Sincere Thanks to a True Mentor. Like many authors, I spent years perfecting my craft, obtaining my degree in journalism, and laboring to create works that were both innovative and marketable. Yet, hundreds of rejections and little success in self publishing lead me to a point where I was about to give up the dream and settle for the run-of-the-mill corporate post. Then, I had the opportunity to hire Matthew Bennett for consultations. His sage experience and pragmatic approach made me realize there were numerous missing pieces in my marketing plans. Each session taught me extraordinarily valuable lessons in honing my talents. Matthew is not only a mentor, but also brutally honest with what he sees in an author’s works. He whips one into shape to see the broader picture, seek out new ventures, and find new venues on a broader horizon most of us never view. My path changed dramatically. I am still seeking a greater spectrum with my own works using his methods. However, the tools he provided sharpened my personal value as a writer and expanded my value in areas I could not imagine. The book I could not sell proved pivotal in selling my personal skills to several important clients who have engaged me to co-author, ghostwrite and publish their works. And I will be continuing those partnerships well into the future. I cannot thank Matthew Bennett enough for his generous time and many efforts taken on my behalf." --Scott R "Your course was terrific! You have the clearest, most effective approach to book publicity I’ve ever heard (and I’ve been in publishing for more than 10 years). You perfectly explained what we needed, how to write it, and how to use it. Once we got the basics, you walked us through the process of marketing our projects step-by-step. You really made it fun and gave us the tools and confidence to move forward. With your wonderful depth of knowledge, no matter what was asked, you understood the issues involved displaying insight and honesty. Your values are in the right place – we felt respected, motivated – you took us seriously, honored our ideas, and answered our questions. I also love your commitment on projects that make a difference and your exceptional generosity. Matthew, you truly walk the talk." --Nancy F "GREAT seminar. Thanks so much for everything. You are SUCH a wonderful inspiration, with the greatest sprit. The words, "The fortune is in the follow up" has been ringing in my ears all day! Thank you again, Matthew. Just to let you know, I'm being realistic - but passionate! To date I've made 49 calls. With many thanks and ongoing appreciation." --Sarah Jane C "What a pleasure! Thank you for all of your excellent advice…it’s amazing how you always hit the nail right on the head. Your course material is fabulous and definitely worth every cent!!" --Maria V - top of page -
