Susan, totally agree with your assessment that the right business name can make all the difference. When I ran a full service ad agency, I had clients that spent a good percentage of their ad budgets trying to overcome or explain a bad or misleading name. It’s more efficient and effective to get the right business name right out of the gate.
Thanks for this, Phillip.
