- And they’ve hired people (using money from the bottom line) who are experts at making products. So listening to customers can seem like a distraction.Photo source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rhubarble/4676948934/in/photostream/

- No, because is way better than radio silence. Wouldn’t you be pissed if I didn’t tell you if I was coming to your birthday? Or just said “no”? Implementing something that 51 people love and 49 people abhor will lose half of them. We don’t have direct democracy in the US, and your customers will understand if you say you don’t have it either.Photo source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cobalt/2419393067/in/photostream/

- Fasterhorses tells us people want to go faster. We can then decide how to solve that. Without the request for faster horses, how do you know people want to go faster? Curse of knowledge – we don’t know their pain.Photo source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7547397@N06/4700782863/in/photostream/

- People put UV here all the time, and then say “Evan, why aren’t I getting feedback?” People don’t expect you to ask for feedback, so make it clear.

- Upvotes: people are more interested in this thing than this thing. Negative votes don’t tell you anything. Comments do.
- People are doing you a favor by giving you feedback. They can use another product. But they’re trying to make you better. Make it easy.Photo source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jo-h/2303638843/in/photostream/
- UV just requires email.We and competitors have SSO.
- People don’t like feeling like you sent them to the weird suggestion box in the closet you never check.We’ve found that custom design can increase feedback up to 130%.

- If it only has 1 vote, it’s hard for the minority to argue that you should implement it.
- Probably the biggest challenge.Photo source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/curiouskiwi/364242787/in/photostream/
- And this is what happens, usually unintentionally.Photo source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/laarc/2909635458/in/photostream/
- Even well-intentioned product folks don’t have time to deal with emails about feature requests. Come out with conclusions.Photo source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/makelessnoise/466769907/in/photostream/
- If it only has 3 votes, it’s hard for the minority to argue that you should implement it.
- Your team is only going to be annoyed if you don’t know important details, like what these customers use your product for or what system they use. Do they want faster horses because they’re horse racers? Or because they’re late to work?
- Your product team is paid to come up with solutions. Bringing them solutions pisses them off (and is often wrong…see faster horse). They are good at building solutions.
- It’s a give and take. Don’t go in demanding everything is built.
- Well, maybe. We have a platform. We obvs think about this.
- As long as they help you do what I’ve outlined, you’re starting in a good place.Search Quora.
- 10 votes (can change)
