Don’t use their name. It’s against the contract and even without the contract, it’s bad form without chatting with the client first (consider just the NDA...).

Don’t use their name. It’s against the contract and even without the contract, it’s bad form without chatting with the client first (consider just the NDA...). Not to mention they’re big, your small, you can’t afford the legal trouble.
Instead you might say in a sales call the type of companies you’re working for. When I worked as a consultant we might not say “Careerbuilder” was a client, instead we’d say “one of the top 5 job search companies in the US”.
And future protip: don’t undervalue yourself in contract negotiations. If you truly offer something unique and valuable, don’t give it up without serious due consideration.
- zaheddec 6y agoThank you so much for such an insightful suggestions. We learned a lot during the process. As its our first client we ignored some obvious things. In future we will definitely take a stand for ourselves. Also will rephrase our wording to mention the client. Are there any suggestions on how to tell this to an investor?
