I help software companies with their copywriting. Today I cold-called a company named after the owner's dog. His picture is on the home page.

"Rusty the Dog Software."

"Can you connect me to marketing?"

"Hold please.....I'm sorry, Contact Name has left for the day."

"That's okay, can you connect me to Rusty?"

"(Hesitation) Uh, Rusty is gone for the day, too...(Laughing)...It's his birthday tomorrow!"

"Please take a message. Tell Rusty Happy Birthday."

(names changed due to NDA )

    Lol, well you just can't deny that people does that, giving/having a company name that has something to do with what they like most,interested about, or even something that has a value to them. Anyway Happy Birthday Rusty. How old are you anyway?

      Cool. Nice to know that this dog has it's business at the age of one. As to most people they have their own business when they reached at the age of 25.

    LOL sort of funny in a way. Would not really want to deal with them with this name.

      I know, it's a different name for a company. They are killing it in their niche. That dog must have a golden dog bowl.
