Is Your Business Name Costing You Money Or Losing You Customers?<\/span><\/h1>\n
It\u2019s natural to gravitate towards choosing a descriptive name for your business, but be careful, because there are lots of pitfalls in choosing this direction. This type of business name is by far the most common because it describes what your company does. <\/span><\/p>\n
The challenge is, if you\u2019re trying to come up with a new business name in the 21st century, it\u2019s not as easy as it once was. You need the URL, the social media properties, a trademark and ideally a page one ranking on Google. If you want to be more than a local mom and pop shop, these are the requirements today. <\/span><\/p>\n
Since it\u2019s extremely difficult to get all of these assets for your business name, business owners tend to cut corners and get clever with spellings and punctuations, but this can lead you down a dangerous path for your business. <\/span><\/p>\n
Just recently, a client of mine wanted me to review her investor pitch on a platform called Speak Eazy. This company promises to offer a life-like experience when presenting online with the usage of virtual audiences. In theory, it\u2019s supposed to be a great way to practice and get feedback before a big presentation.<\/span><\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When I first received the link from my client, I didn\u2019t pay attention to the special spelling, using the letter \u201cz,\u201d because like everyone else, I\u2019m busy. At first, when I logged in on my iPhone and later on my iPad the play button had a cross through it and wouldn\u2019t play. So, I reached back out to my client\u2019s assistant to get different login details. Since my team had also reviewed it I thought maybe there was a maximum usage of views or a similar issue.<\/span><\/p>\n
When I got a new username to try, I tried to find the company\u2019s login area online. I did a search in google for \u201cSpeak Easy\u201d and scrolled through pages on Google none of which were the platform I was looking for. I re-did my search with different criteria, but still I couldn\u2019t find it. Twenty frustrating minutes later, I reached out to my assistant to ask for the link for this platform. <\/span><\/p>\n
