Do names matter?

When writing, the other important aspect about names is spelling.

If you are writing a note to yourself, obviously the spelling is less important. But as soon as you are writing something for a business use, it is essential you spell names correctly. That includes the names of your colleagues and competitors as well as clients, and also any business names you refer to.

Taking the time to get someone’s name spelt correctly in your records can save you time and the embarrassment of getting it wrong later.

You may not like the spellings emma-lee, elisabeth or mishell, but if that is how someone spells it, that is the way you need to spell it when refering to that person.

Getting it right shows respect; getting it wrong will annoy or even insult the person you are writing about, and can even lose you sales.
