PRESENTATION PHILOSOPHY

Every Client is Different. Every Audience is Different. Don’t Insult the intelligence of either with a Boilerplate Presentation! A professional presentation or keynote should be catered to the objectives of the paying client and to the unique characteristics, professions and industries represented by the audience. Is the audience to be entertained? Challenged to think in a new way? Educated? A little of each? Matt invests the necessary time up-front, understands the goals and unique objectives of the paying client, and pulling from decades of experience and more than thirty hours of potential content delivers a presentation that is unique to each audience and event. A one-of-a-kind signature presentation intended to achieve the goals of the client, every time.

So view the examples that follow as just that – examples of past presentations delivered to invigorated and pleased audiences around the globe, each surpassing the expectations of the client.

EXAMPLES OF PAST PRESENTATIONS & KEYNOTES:

GROWTH IN AN EXPONENTIAL ECONOMY

We are living in an “Exponential Economy”. Products in consumer electronics, computers, medical equipment, and telecommunications markets are doubling in price performance every 12 to 18 months.

The little known truth is that this rate of change doesn’t just affect high tech markets – it affects everything – especially the sales and marketing processes. Customers and consumers are more informed than ever before yet struggle to find the time to stay current on rapid changes in technology or to complete all of their tasks. They require instant information and demand things right the first time. Inventory levels are nil, product cycles are short and commerce is global. Huge opportunities await business development professionals who leverage these realities into “Exponential Revenue Growth”. Matt Kirchner has identified “60 Rules in an Exponential Economy”; 60 ways that U.S. Businesses must change in order to survive and win in the Exponential Economy. In this fascinating and entertaining presentation, Matt Kirchner provides enlightening observations about The Exponential Economy, and then chooses ten to fifteen of the sixty rules most applicable to the specific audience; enabling attendees to leverage the “Exponential Economy” to drive top line performance.
