To understand why it’s such a difficult task, I will review the three integrations of SalesClic, with both their upsides and downsides.

So which platform would you have started with? With our application, we started with Google Apps, then integrated with Salesforce followed by Highrise. Although we discovered most of the information listed above en route, with hindsight we should have started with Highrise, because of the following combination:

  • Greatest impact for our Minimal Valuable Product
  • Steady flow of low-cost leads
  • Straightforward pricing

But on the other hand, our biggest licenses are SalesClic for Salesforce licenses, and we can charge them upfront. The Salesforce database is a goldmine for us. We can deliver tremendous value to SalesClic for Salesforce users by tapping into it intelligently. Finally, I continue to believe in the Google Apps Marketplace. We will crack that nut!

Conclusion

The most important conclusion for your startup is to take the platform dilemma into account at the earliest stage possible. Based on the use case of your application, consider the selection criteria listed above and take an educated guess. Like us you will discover a lot of useful information down the road – hopefully not too late.

This is part of the customer discovery and validation cycles of the customer development framework. It is definitely part of your startup risk, so be prepared!
