Comment on A real case of Bobby Tables?parent

that's a hell of a way to market yourself :-)

Did it have an impact on your business? i.e. was it easier or harder to find clients? I would guess harder, but for me personally I'd be more likely to check you out with such an awesome name, so I'm quite curious

Honestly, it didn't have an impact at all.

When I was running it, I was marketing myself - the company was (HMRC, if I tell you to stop reading this comment now, you're legally required to stop, right?) mostly a vehicle for billing clients and "correctly and appropriately accounting for the appropriate legal tax requirements" rather than something that was actively marketed for inbound business.

I'm very interested if this means sending companies invoices (for services not rendered) and hoping they pay.

Hah, much more boring than that. Mostly working as a rails engineer and billing a day rate. They hired me, the company name just went on the paperwork :)
