What to use as the name?

 

I have been talking to a guy I worked for for 13 years. He is a self made multi millionaire. He came from a family of 10 kids with nothing, and is now worth (I would estimate) $50-75M. I know he has recently sold off a lot of commercial property over the last few years for roughly $30m, plus he still owns a bunch of commercial property and ~50 rental properties. Bottom line is, he is brilliant at what he does, and he started out renting a 2 bay shop with $300 in his pocket ~40 years ago, a high school drop out with a 10th grade education. He was a great boss, took care of my health insurance and was always at my house when I had cancer. I respect him and I am feeding off all the information he is sharing with me about opening my business. He has informed me my name must be the next step.

 

He insists on using my name; Seth's *****. I won't use my last name for a couple reasons, and he says he understands, but he said that people should know you are the boss when they walk in, so use your name. It makes the initial relationship seem more personal/intimate for the new customer. I insist on being more low key. You guys get the name... My "ID" so to speak, but loosely with my name in it. Plus the "T" makes my employee feel more valuable, as he is known as Trey. He said "I can pretend"

The name of your business isn't for you, it is for your distance. A personal touch is what you described as your differentiator so why are you afraid to make the name personal?

Because we are both going to come sleep at you place for a few months...I got dibs on the couch!!smile.png

 

We have 6 couches.

He was showing his stellar electrician skills AGAIN.  That is two references in the past week or so of forgetting to turn off the power.

A spiders web is only about 0.00012 inch in diameter,a spider's silk is stronger then steel of equal diameter.It is more elastic than nylon,more difficult to break then rubber,and is bacterial and fungi resistant "sean's foot fungi"....These qualities explain why at one time web was used to pack wounds,to help mend them and stop bleeding....

Because I live in the South. Seth is a NY Jew name (no, I am not Jewish). Not sure how that will fly. You know all the old Jew stigmas.

 

That is just my feeling.

 

So what, Seth's Auto?
