Such an amazing post. Thanks Jason! Here is the summary for others benefit. 1) Brand - Invest in branding 2) Data - Leverage the data in the platform well. 3) Structured Data - Instead of locking the data, allow for exports if needed, but structure data well and make it easy for customers. E.g. Dashboard 4) Partner ecosystem - Invest in partnerships 5) Integrations - Keep your system open and allow for integrations, potentially allowing others to build on top of you. 6) Agencies and Implementation partners - Educate agencies and allow them to sell for you. 7) Long term contracts - Do not force folks to sign up, but do it based on the type of product. 8) Use massive amounts of capital - Might be useful in situations where you want to get strong in a category where you are not. 9) Being the most enterprise vendor - Build for enterprise, take care of all security needs and other enterprisey things. 10) No contract at all - Make so great, that customers not only wont leave, but is so easy to get started.
