Matthew Bowman’s Summary
I am a transplant from Silicon Valley where I was born and raised in the shadow of Stanford University. Since graduating from MBA School in 2000, I have been involved in building and growing small to medium sized companies as head of sales and marketing.
Currently I am working with Wi5Connect, a well funded upstart, launching a platform that allows businesses of all sizes and growth stages to affordably and easily leverage the power of Web 2.0 and online community technologies. The results with initial clients have been impressive and are generating predictable business outcomes, actionable data, and rapid implementations.
Past projects include a company called SIRE Technologies, Inc (www.siretechnologies.com). Starting with revenues under $10 million and a regional presence, we took the company international and were recently ranked in The 2007 Software 500 (Digital Business Magazine) for being one of the 500 fastest growing software companies in the US. The company launched three new products and created an entirely new market sector in software. The sales team enjoys a remarkable 90% closing rate (that is to say, we only loose to the competition 1 in 10 times). Update: SIRE was just listed in the Inc. 5000 as being one of the top 5,000 most successful companies.
My schedule does not permit me to blog but if you are interested on ideas in building successful sales teams and growing a business with sustainable growth, I recommend you look at my website links above. Business Week magazine interviewed me on ways to successfully deal with long sales cycles. Connect Magazine interviewed me on building a sales team. And Utah CEO outlined good ideas for using the Web to cultivate leads before handing them over to your sales team. This Fall I am a guest lecturer in the BYU eBusiness Lecture Series.
