Well-thought and a fine read. Re: sleep and moods, though a plausible idea, suffers from a tight binding problem. This is very costly in terms of time invested for reaping the "aha!" moment. I sat down to elaborate the reason an

This is just amazing! It feels like suddenly creating a new market. It has the potential to change the way customer service is addressed in the field: for washing machines, data loggers and may be hundreds of devices. This must succeed!

Good list. To complement this article, I highly recommend "Demoing Software for Fun & Profit" by Dave Winer. There are pretty good tips in it. http://scripting.com/davenet/1995/01/04/demoing

Happy to learn that the post resonated with you. I appreciate it. Once a VP at a customer told me that a diamond is just a piece of coal that shines under pressure. The quest to become a jewel in the market can be a powerful initial thrust

Kind of agree with you and OP, so let me add to the discussion with the caveat that YMMV etc. Some of these points may overlap with comments by fellow HNers in these threads. In any organization as a prospective customer, there are three
