When Howard Wein moved to Philadelphia in 2004, he wasn’t just another restaurateur—he had a bold vision. In a city filled with top-tier steakhouses, he knew he needed to create something unforgettable. But how do you stand out in a sea of competition? Wein’s answer? A hundred-dollar cheesesteak. Not just any sandwich, but a culinary masterpiece: • Kobe beef, marbleized to perfection • Butter-poached lobster tail • Shaved black truffles • All served on a house-made brioche roll with a side of champagne People talked. The buzz spread from local foodies to national headlines. Celebrities like David Beckham had to try it. Even David Letterman invited Barclay Prime’s chef to New York to showcase it live on the Late Show. What started as a bold idea turned Barclay Prime into a legend. Sometimes, all it takes is one daring move to change everything. For Barclay Prime, that move was a sandwich that made history.

The name of your business or brand can go a long way towards helping you achieve success. For instance, my wife, Barbara, and I were driving down Kneeland Street in Boston recently when Boston Kitchen Pizza caught our eyes. Sure, we both love #pizza, so that's one reason we were drawn to their sign. But the name of the restaurant on the sign sounded like they might be the official pizza of the city or something. I also noticed that they said they served Boston's best pizza as well. So why would we go anywhere else for our pizza? They're the best, right? You know and I know that a lot of other restaurants in #Boston probably make the same claim. That's #marketing. That's #advertising. That's business. That's important to note how far the name alone of your business or brand can go in getting the undivided attention of your customers and prospects. #MarketingLife
