> "how is this different from ABC?". What's your answer to this? I'd expect a pretty good range is possible without any changes to product, from "you get support direct from the engineer and CEO?" to "Can ABC do this...?" Related to the pitching or communications aspect, is it really a clone, or is it a clone-if-you-ignore-the-various-details? Those are way different. Do you support charities, do you have a cuter mascot, do you regularly integrate direct client feedback, do you send out a mixtape every year? Hang in there, define your goals, it really sounds to me like you are already done being awesome and are poking at legendary, wondering where the back door is. Could be really great from here, or it could be that this is more like a side gig to support your full set of life interests... |

My product does important things that ABC doesn't. Just that my product overlaps with the main 80% of the product.
> is it really a clone, or is it a clone-if-you-ignore-the-various-details?
It is the latter -- clone-if-you-ignore-the-various-details. But, people I talked to (people I consider important for my startup) are so enamored with ABC their eyes glaze over when I mention the differences, as though they feel they're insignificant differences.
> do you regularly integrate direct client feedback
I do this but not the charities, mixtape, etc. You could say my logo is actually cuter.

Your comment made me cry a little and made me believe. Thank you.
I get the idea that you have a lot to say about aspects of business differentiation, useful to someone like me for sure. I hope you get a chance to elaborate either here or in a blog someday.
