I suppose that listening to a sales person can get you 400k revenue in a year, just rote following what one customer says can do that for you, but is 400k really worth sacrificing more visionary goals? The question that really has to be asked is "if I spend X amount of time on this one feature and that leads to Y amount of revenue, is that worth sacrificing Z revenue down the road on an engineering/product management defined feature that is more strategic? Don't necessarily sacrifice the sale of now for the lost sale of the future.

Real question, is 400k enough for you?
