Jason Hager’s Experience

Franchise Owner

Referral Institute

(Professional Training & Coaching industry)

January 2005 — Present (4 years 11 months)

The Referral Institute teaches business professionals throughout the world how to harness the power of word-of-mouth marketing to drive sales for fast, sustainable business growth. At present, the organization has over 100 certified trainers operating in nine countries, and the numbers are rapidly growing.

Referral-based, word-of-mouth is the ultimate sales program. Those who train in it are Master Salespeople. There is no exception to this rule. Other marketing tools like traditional advertising, public relations and web sites are certainly of value, particularly if they reinforce the word-of-mouth process. The experienced sales professional recognizes that word-of-mouth is head and shoulders above all other sales and marketing methods.

April 2000 — Present (9 years 8 months)

Media Makers Design Studio began in 2000 as a small, independent web design studio located on the first floor of a house near a college campus. In the past 6 years, we’ve grown to a full-service advertising agency, our office now located in the executive suite of the Village Professional Building in Barboursville.

Our agency has grown and prospered over the years, and we want to help your business grow too, by bringing synergy to your business plan and advertising plan—and creating amazing results. The focus of our company is simply this: high end design, the best interactive technology, and a commitment to quality customer service. We don’t want to be the biggest. Just the best.
