  • Marketing Genius Talks About Naming: Why Your Product Name is Costing You Sales

    What if the real reason no one’s buying isn’t your offer — is because of your name? In this episode, Perry and Emma tear into the overlooked strategy of naming: from brand names, product names and why your company name might be the least important. Most entrepreneurs get it dead wrong and Perry reveals his approach to naming million-dollar products, while Emma digs deeper on how renaming your product can reposition your brand overnight. Or maybe you don’t have to, maybe you can just shorten it, find out why in this episode. If your business, product, or funnel name isn’t creating curiosity, clarity, and confidence, you’re not just being ignored — you’re being forgotten.
