Visualize, if you will, a tree removal company. Executives sit around trying to come up with a name that will make customers feel secure in your competence. Aha, we should call ourselves “Reliable Tree Services.” We could even put the word RELIABLE right on our cranes.

Do you think the manager’s ever thought they would see the following pictures? What a mess!!!
