More OF THE GOOD STUFF
A quick and easy win...
CRMs like Honeybook, Dubsado, and 17Hats are great.
The only bad thing? The signature blocks.
The signature blocks in all three of these CRMs default to a personal signature, and are not set up so it is you signing on behalf of your company.
This is a serious issue when you have a business entity, such as an LLC or Corporation, because it can void out the “limited liability” you get from those entities.
When you sign personally, you sign as YOURSELF, not as the LLC or corporation.
➡ Your block should look like this:
COMPANY, LLC
