Contingent Purchase Order : You put in a purchase order and we'll build feature x.
Separate the wheat from the chaff.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoAre you going to build it instantly? If not, what happens if someone else releases a superior product in the interim? Or my business needs change?

- keanzu 7y agoBoth excellent questions. Oddly the tire kicker never says "If you build X then I'll buy it .. unless my needs change or someone else releases a superior product". Requesting a purchase order casts the situation in the cold light of day.
- jakobegger 7y agoI think this is how a lot of enterprise software is sold. Potential customer says "it's missing x", sales person says "we'll build x in two weeks", product is sold, devs have to figure out how to build x in two weeks. That probably doesn't work for physical products.
