Write code to have an impressive features list in the product, even if half of them have 3 bugs per line of code. It's not a strategy I approve, but it can be effective from a commercial stand-point, specially if the half that doesn't work is the half barely used in real life. It was specially true in the past, with on premise software where clients were in a kind of lock-down with the software provider. Today, as we move more and more towards SaaS, this approach is far more risky because your client could easily switch to another service provider.
