Thanks for the reply. It's perhaps a sign of my confusion that I'm posting here on HN, however I figured there's a bunch of pretty smart and caring people who also wouldn't hesitate to provide direct and useful advice (and from the responses I've seen I'm not wrong about this).
Regarding the 'soft' side of the business, what I couldn't fit into the original post due to maximum length is that I've been the driver behind improvements to sales and marketing - 2 new company websites, I do all the SEO, and I've suggested strategies like blogging etc in terms of getting new eyeballs to the product.
- charliemil4 6y agoThis type of agreement is best pursued as a non-technical, non-legal endeavor. There’s a book “Never Split the Difference” by Chris Voss that will get you up to speed. His videos on YouTube are also potent. Ideally, you want to avoid the “I brought this” style of language; what else is someone to do than think, “well I brought this, too!” It gets especially tense if the evidence is too damming, so the protection mechanisms kick over rather than the empathy and cooperation channels. Good luck - you got this
