Deon:

A couple of thoughts:

First since you are practicing in a country and region with its own vernacular,
I think the choice of descriptors should be influenced primarily by what those
terms mean to your customers, prospects and influencers in in your business
culture.

Second, one universally standard seems to relate to the use of ALL CAPS, which
is consider SHOUTING and therefore, somewhat RUDE.

Unless you would conclude every business meeting by SHOUTING at the other party,
you should reconsider doing so via email. An alternative way to emphasize is to
select a distinctive type font and/or put it in boldface , but in lower case
characters.

I hope this is helpful.

I need your advice again .

Some questions:

Reputation Management Advisor or Managing Consultant ?

Seminar Leader, Facilitator, Trainer - Which one or both?

REPUCOMM is a one person consultancy - should I use the name or my name like
a Seth Godin?

Taglines: REPUCOMM ...Because your Reputation Matters or REPUTATION
MANAGEMENT CONSULTING ...... BECAUSE YOUR REPUTATION MATTERS......!

Do I include my phone numbers or rather try and get a prospect to go to my
contact page?

Thanks.

This is what I propose , so far:

Deon Binneman

Reputation Management Advisor, Speaker & Seminar Leader

REPUTATION MANAGEMENT CONSULTING .. BECAUSE YOUR REPUTATION MATTERS!

Too long? It's a book!

Deon - put in a link - say: "For all of my contact information, and for
information about Repucomm and Power Lines, please click here:
www.contactinfo.com (or something like that).

I kept scrolling, and scrolling - it got ridiculous. Honest. Nobody (not
even your sainted mother) would read that much .
