Through his work at CEB, Tethr, and now DCM Insights, he has helped reshape how consulting firms think about sales, customer experience, and growth. His research has influenced thousands of organizations globally through books like The Challenger Sale, The Effortless Experience, The JOLT Effect, and most recently The Activator Advantage. Across each project, the theme is consistent, the highest performers don’t win because they are naturally charismatic; they win because they follow behaviors that can be measured, taught, and repeated. Today, Matt focuses heavily on professional services firms, helping partners and associates develop modern business development habits in a market where client loyalty is declining and AI is rapidly reshaping both delivery and buyer expectations.Proposed Interview Questions: 1.
