Freemium’s a great way to acquire lots of customers relatively quickly and easily, but the job of converting them to using a paid product is where the rubber meets the road. And the challenge is a lot harder in an enterprise context, where the buyer and the user aren’t necessarily one and the same person. Many businesses struggle to strike a balance between freemium’s light-touch customer engagement with the more involved enterprise sales process.

In the not-too-distant past, customer support was seen as a hassle, a cost that had to be borne but which was really just a tax on success.

I talk with lots of executives from the go-to-market side of the house who think that building serious software is as easy – and easily estimatable – as building a fence. Would that it were so.

It all started a decade ago on a family trip from the US to India. En route, I had a two-day halt at a relative’s house in Abu Dhabi. It was a weekend and I woke up to a lazy Sunday morning.
