Each month, Shop in RI Magazine profiles one member of “The Dream Team,” a weekly networking group that meets in Smithfield. This month, we feature Matt Sullivan of Local Lead Growth in North Attleboro, MA.
Matt works with business owners in both his home state and neighboring Rhode Island. His mission is identifying nearby digital marketing opportunities for his clients. No “nationwide” searches for Matt, instead, he gets hyper-specific about who his customers are, what they are looking for, and how to connect with them directly.
Sullivan’s goal is to help generate leads for local businesses. He keeps their phones ringing by sending them relevant leads that give them a high return on investment s for over a decade.
Matt’s professional philosophy is “More Leads. More Reviews. More Profits.”
“I only work with local businesses. I’m fully accountable to them. No long-term contracts. No red tape. I meet them in person every month,” he said.
Sullivan began his business in May 2023, after going around introducing himself to local businesses in his backyard, and told them how he could help generate them more business, with low risk.
He likes this approach because, “it still works.” Using Facebook and Google ads are effective for getting one’s message out to their respective audiences. Matt also follows up to ensure what is expected gets done, and the results are clear for his customers to see.
While Local Lead Growth works in many industries, Matt’s ventures vary from yoga classes to home remodelers. He said that it comes down to what companies are searching for and putting them in touch with the best partners.
Local Lead Growth works with many local industries. The main thing is that they’re local. They use the tried-and-true methods that work best to help local businesses generate leads.
“Local Lead Growth is all about sending local businesses relevant leads that help them grow their bottom line. All they need to do is pick up the phone. We take care of the rest,” he said.
They currently offer a deal where customers can purchase one ad campaign and get four other services free for three months. The idea is to ‘lift all boats at once,’ so, while they’re generating solid revenue, they’re also building up their website and Google “My Business” profile, so that after three months, they’re getting leads, consistently, from multiple sources.

As for joining The Dream Team, Matt said he met with President Rocco Elgar, who invited him to attend a meeting. The meeting impressed Matt enough to become a member shortly thereafter. He enjoys having a sales force in his back pocket to help with reaching his goals.
“The Dream Team” currently has 26 members, and is growing. They meet every Wednesday morning, from 7:00 AM to 8:30 AM, at the Home2Suites Hilton on Douglas Pike (Rte. 7) in Smithfield, across from Laura’s Bar and Grill. The group is looking to grow its team and is interested in meeting professionals from various businesses looking to connect and help each other grow through referral business. The Dream Team is all about “Friends helping Friends.”
