Pricing is a difference. But we also think our UX is easier, in general, and a better fit for project, design, and engineering meetings. We made lots of little UI choices that we think add up to a different level of ease and productivity. H

What yannu said. Doesn't really matter whether marketing lives inside the sales org or not. It can work either way. (And your new VP of Sales will always tell you that marketing should report to her.) What matters is that you a) have e

Yeah, the "BD vs Sales" thing is exactly what I was trying to get at. My experience is that companies hiring salespeople for the first time often don't have much of a sales pipeline yet, but do have a backlog of not-very-simi

We're inventing this stuff as we go, right now, which makes gestural and spatial interfaces an exciting thing to work on. Your broader point is definitely well taken. Touch is important. But touch, combined with free-space gesture, plu
