“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet.” So goes Shakespeare’s famous line which teaches us the insignificance of a label in the eyes of a customer who doesn’t need it. Though it is true that in B2B marketing, an established name easily wins trust, it is, by far, the quality of products and services that sustains it.

A good name may help you attract customers anywhere around the world, but it is bound to get tarnished when customers are not happy with the quality of service they are getting. Keep the quality of your services at par with the highest standards to keep your name untainted by complaints and negative publicity. They say bad publicity is still publicity.
