I agree Laura, it is the little things that will set you apart from the rest, especially today. Service providers are a dime a dozen in their respective niches. Attention to detail is one such way to set yourself and your business apart from the others.
Excellent article and very relevant to today’s competition.

Hi Laura, One thing you mentioned really stood out to me, in regards to getting the name right. I still have a client who butchers my name to this date, and we have been working together for say 6 months now. I realize my name is a bit foreign, but at this point it becomes bothersome… You were right on the money… :)

I’m a big fan of finishing a project a day or so before the deadline. Great article.

Hi Laura, great read, I think that the point about getting names right is very important, and if in doubt over a tricky name it’s best to ask rather than to guess. Particularly important if you are going to be communicating with the person quite regularly, imagine spending weeks calling them the wrong name! Thanks for the tips!

Thanks for a good article, Laura. These four points are so simple that it’s amazing there’s a need to remind anyone about them. The first three points are about communication and organisation: both are absolutely essential if you are running your own business.
