ABOUT MATRIX THOMPSON
Matrix Thompson is a serial entrepreneur and child of the Internet. Matrix joined forces with the Computer Freelancer Magazine to produce the Internet Marketing Report, long-before the World Wide Web was a popular medium. The publication enjoyed moderate success, until Matrix was recruited by the Computer Freelancer—to begin producing Year2000 computer problem conferences. Thirsty for experience and financial reward Matrix organized over 40 year 2000 computer problem conferences, each generating an average of $50,000 per event in advertising and gate receipts. Subsequently Matrix Thompson used the proceeds from his successful year 2000 conferences and seminars to set-up CashBack Telecom, Inc to initially provide consulting services to the Telecommunications industry.
Initial clients were Faxmate Inc and Eurotel ( Diallog Telecommunications ) whom he helped to grow sales revenues from $40,000 to well over $200,000 per month. Today, Matrix is a seasoned consultant with specialized interest in developing reseller networks, social media and content distribution systems. He has helped key clients to raise more than $1.5 million in private and public sector financing, assisted Riverside Worldwide in selling more than $1.2 million dollars worth of tickets and has drafted content for more than 100 content management systems.
In November 2012, Matrix began testing the Matrix 4.0 Social Sharing Rewards Platform with a local restaurant chain (Sunrise Caribbean Restaurant). Within 30 days of project launch the Matrix 4.0 software platform grew food delivery sales from $0.00 to $10,000 per month and booked business worth $200,000 per month. Now it’s final beta tests, the Matrix 4.0 platform is now being used by over 100 websites, and 2,000 businesses to generate sales leads, media publicity, improve search engine ranking and build social ambassador networks.
