Neil Gottfred Sales Manager

Neil is everyone’s go-to-guy when there’s a question about sales and advertising. It makes sense – he has been with Matrix Group Publishing Inc. for nearly two decades and his experience shows in his handling of issues that inadvertently arise when working in sales. 

But what Neil is really known for is his personality. His advertising clients love his cheery demeanor, his tendency to break into song, and his references to old-school music and current day sports highlights. The employees who work with him in the Winnipeg office enjoy these things too, but working with him in person has one added benefit – his inclination to add dance moves to the songs he’s singing.

All kidding aside, Neil is instrumental in the day-to-day operations of both the Winnipeg and Hamilton offices. He’s been with the company longer than almost every other employee, and in that time he has spoken with advertising clients in every single province in Canada and in every single state in the United States. 

This, says Neil, is the best part of his job. “I absolutely love speaking to people across North America. I have clients that I’ve worked with for years; I know about their families, their travels, their hobbies. I love the fact that in an hour, I could chat with a rancher from Texas, a head-honcho from California, and a contractor from Ontario. And of course, I love bugging them all when their sports teams are losing to Winnipeg or Canadian teams!”
