049: Naming, Interns and Getting Set Up Right for Sales

SaaS Insider

Company naming is an art, and Steve Benson takes that, and everything else he does, very seriously - but with a great dose of humor. As the CEO of Badger Maps, he's grown his company through a great intern program (that alone makes this episode a Must Listen To). Shira Abel talks to Steve about cleaning data, interns, naming and how to start selling. Please rate this episode. About Steve Benson
