Groxx you make a great point. We had the donate button only in the registration page when the API key was generated. Not in the documentation page not did we do a time lapsed reminder. May be the outcome would have been different.

We intentionally chose to focus on making the integration as easy as possible. The key is to get the customer to try a proof of concept as easily as possible. We still need to do a better job of it.

hmmm it seems like the key is to find the balance between evangelizing your product/vision while genuinely soliciting inputs from the C level on what their priorities are. Hopefully there will be a match somewhere in that conversation
