“Sign up and pay at least part of it now and we’ll prioritize the feature”.
I’ve seen enough instances of work being done for a specific customer that doesn’t then result in the customer signing up (or - once they see they can postpone signing the big contract by continuing to ask for “just one more crucial feature”, they continue to do so) to ever fall for this again.
- wreath 9mo agoWhy do that if your competitor already has it? I'd just go talk to the competitor instead. If you aren't able to ballpark when the feature will be done, why should I trust you will once I pay part of the price?

- loloquwowndueo 9mo agoNo, parent said they’d go talk to the competitor. They didn’t say they were already with them. Don’t change the scenario.
