Your 'company' even before having a company

[_Will_]

Hello -

Like many of you I wear 2 hats, my 9-5 hat and my entrepreneurial hat. I'm exploring some niches ( Customer Discovery) and just wondering how professional you guys look when talking / emailing people. What I mean is.... do you have a domain name ? or you just email from your gmail / yahoo account ? Do you have a 'generic' website and pretend to be with that company (that doesn't exist yet) ? "Hi this is William with XYZ".

I think those things are really important to build your image as a professional. What do you guys think ?
