>> Agreed, all software companies are different.

To a certain extent, there is a lot in common in the software industry whether you're selling to the consumer market, the enterprise market or the smb market.

>> There is also a huge distinction between software-to-software sales (where the product design is more important) and software-to-outside-world sales.

I'm not 100% sure I understand, are you talking about consumer software (software-to-outside-world) and enterprise software (software-to-software sales)?

Because marketing can be different, agreed, but development of the product is not that different. Unless you're trying to talk about internal apps vs. products ?

>> Most of our customers pay with CHECKS, yes, checks. They aren't software people so the design doesn't need to as good in the beginning.

Not sure how someone pays for software matters, care to explain?

Sorry, but you don't seem to really understand software product development, neither from the sales side, the marketing side, nor the engineering side. Not from the post itself nor from your comments. But I guess you say that up front so "it's ok" ... ? ... I guess?
