Our engineering team frequently meets to discuss the highest priorities for our customers, team members, and prospects and look at how the requests align with our own strategy. 

 

How we prioritize new features

1. We’re looking for features that will help our customers make more sales.
2. They will be useful for the majority of our users.
3. They will be useful long term, e.g. it’s not a tool to spam craigslist with a short life span.
4. They have been requested by users and people are actively doing the activity now (there are some exceptions to this rule). e.g. we aren’t going to build a twitter auto poster as 99% of our users never post to Twitter and for the people that are power users of social media already have great apps for Twitter.
5. They fit our vision for the product.
6. Many data points over time e.g. user interviews, amount of requests we’ve had, the impact of the feature on results. e.g. we aren’t jumping onto the newest idea all the time.

 

Thank you for your feedback, understanding, and support as we work together to build the best product possible!
