When we think about startup and how to attract customers, it's easy not to lose the sight of customer experience. We often don't think collectively about what customer has to go through to get the value out of us. Customer visits the website, researches about the product, talks to sales, gets their first-hand experience with the product, and starts using it to solve their problem. At each step of the way, the experience customer determines whether the startup will be a failure, a mediocre or a successful company. Too often we ignore what is the obvious to all customers. It's obvious because most customers share the same view and would be thrilled to see the improvements on the area. It's the entrepreneur's job to figure out what the obvious area of improvement is and fix it.
I agree with what Johnson's observation on not "ticking people off" is an important ingredient in creating a successful startup. It's a question all of us should ask ourselves when starting a new business.
