Hasseman Marketing Web Services

About six months ago I started a web services business in Coshocton with Kirby Hasseman who owns Hasseman Marketing & Communications. From the beginning, I had a positive attitude about the project (it's close to impossible not to have a positive attitude towards something when you're working with Kirby Hasseman on it, whatever it is) but I still had a few doubts about how well Coshocton would treat me after a few not so good experiences over the years there. I'm happy to say that this business looks like it's on it's way to being a success and my doubts about Coshocton are pretty much gone.

It started off slow as can be expected with any new business but there was more interest from potential clients than I figured so that was a good sign. I had a pretty good feeling that Kirby wouldn't give up on it because he's very persistent and that played a big part in my decision to go through with this new business. His persistence started to pay off in November and our client base and revenues have been booming the past few months. We're to the point now, in January, where we have a few possible projects on the table and a few in the pipeline that we're already working on. I'm really feeling good about things right now.

I should also mention our programming consultant Tony Morris has done a great job working for little short term pay on projects like BuyCoshocton.com and our own HassemanMarketing.com websites. His knowledge of multiple programming languages, "can-do" attitude, and willingness to work on a pay/project basis have been very important to the success of our web services business. Tony is a student at THE Ohio State University in Columbus and is a Dover High School graduate. He and I are partners in my IT Consulting business TM Broadwater Technology Consulting in New Albany and we have worked on many projects together over the years mostly on the web.

Through Hasseman Marketing Web Services, I've been able to meet and work with a few people who are new to Coshocton and some who have been there for years all determined to turn the community around. It's been good to see this perspective as opposed to the negativity and defeatist mentality that exists with a certain segment of the community's population. I'm feeling better about the future of my hometown and I'm also feeling very good about the future of Hasseman Marketing Web Services. Hopefully we can create some tech jobs in the no-so-distant future.
