    Matt Sloan

    I'm a Sales Professional, husband and dad. I help people create great publications quickly and easily. My approach has always been to help schools produce Yearbooks by coaching them on the best software, layout styles and provide time saving tips. This approach has served me well. My record for on time and within budget yearbooks speaks for itself. As a Yearbook Sales Professional since 2000 my wife and I have quietly and steadily become one of the top publisher representatives in the country and we've loved every minute of it! Thanks for viewing my profile and I hope my ebook is helpful to you and your Yearbook staff.
