@khan1123 Just for my understanding and curiosity. How its possible one person pay 100$ and ither 1000$ for same product

@baloyij The first one want to use it for themselves. The second company wants to use it to serve some of their clients.

@khan1123 Thanks, understand that

@baloyij Every heard of tiers with limits/different deliverables.

Or productized services?

@khan1123 I think this locking down thing is only good when you’re trying to lock down first customers, because it forces you to meet with them and potentially pivot or adjust your product to make them happily convert.

@reenmatty Right. It's something that doesn't scale, and this is what this post is exactly about - how we got our first two paying customers - by doing something that doesn't scale.

Paul Graham has a good article about this: https://paulgraham.com/ds.html

@khan1123 Im really curious as to what your product is! Congrats on the initial traction

@forgivenacceptedsaved Can't disclose, I wouldn't be able to disclose the real numbers.

@khan1123 I think a free trial for 14 days would be right

@khan1123 What made you think it would be a good idea to do that, some sales or marketing strategy?
