> So how else do you try to gain some traction here? Well, one potentially very viable avenue is actually _to appeal to individuals first_ (or at least not dismiss their needs as a use case you don’t care about).

We had many discussions around this case. Typical arguments are “see, ClickUp and Asana did great without individual focus, they are focusing on teams and it works. If we will go for it, we may start prioritize individual-focused features on top (reminders, daily calendar, new getting started), and miss collaborative team-focused features (new comments, new notifications, etc)”.

I personally know that individial-focused tool might have a better traction, but I am not sure that Fibery can move into this direction easily. But I don’t have a strong opinion here and _intuitively_ I like the individual focus. So everything can happen 🙂

So I have to ask: how have you accounted for selection bias with _literally all of your evidence/data_ here? What I mean by that is you are mostly only drawing this data from people who already use, or already seriously considered Fibery _as it is_. And as I said already further up the thread: talking to the people already adopting or who already use your tool is not as important (IMHO) as understanding the (many, many more) people who did _not_ choose your product.

Interesting, but most startup gurus advice to listen to real (preferably paid) customers 🙂 It means that selection bias is embedded into a startup. You have to listen to your customers that ALREADY find value in the product and improve it based on they feedback.

Ha, I don’t use Fibery for candidate tracking just for this reason. We receive 20-30 applications for every position and I don’t have time to add them manually into Fibery. It seems it depends, for some people it is OK, but for me it is a showstopper. This is why feedback around cases is so valuable, it helps me to get a better perspective about priorities and completeness.
