If you&#x27;re a startup, the short answer is you usually don&#x27;t.<p>The first thing to realize is that with enterprise customers, having a good product <i>might</i> be enough to get your foot in the door --- if you&#x27;re lucky.<p>Then they&#x27;ll start asking about your company, your organization, how many employees you have, do you provide them with health insurance, do you have a big fancy office, do you have any other large customers, how much market capitalization do you have, etc., etc..<p>3 guys with a good idea and a good product still have the deck stacked way against them.<p>Elephants are rare and it requires big bucks just to take a realistic shot at them. Smaller game is a much easier target --- there are a lot more of them and your chances of success are much better.
