Ask HN: Have you ever had adversarial customers?

2•matthew-morfi•6mo ago
I left my investment banking, software engineering, job approximately ten months to build software for mortgage loan originators.

It's my first time operating a software as a service business, so I'm not exactly sure how most customer interactions are supposed to go... Personally, I've always been an easy-going consumer of SaaS products; pay the bill, offer useful feedback, don't make unreasonable demands, etc...

I've tried to be really accommodating and reasonable with our prospects and clients, hoping that treating people with kindness would be good for business, but some of them seem to have an endless capacity to try and take advantage of us.

For example, on several occasions, we've listened to client's feedback and built new products which they suggested would be useful to the operation of their businesses, but once the software products are built, they've responded by claiming the new product is "their" idea, or trying to negotiate ownership of the software or our business, and even threatening to sue us if they don't get their way (no lawsuits yet)...

I'm wondering do you have these kind of customer interactions? I'm sure every business has difficult customers, but this has been a pretty radical cultural shift from the professionals I was working with at the investment bank...

Not with customers, but I've had people want to collaborate on my free software, which later turned out to be them wanting to carve a niche which they subsequently hoped to monetize.

So your experience sounds not atypical.

matthew-morfi•6mo ago
Yeah, sounds like a similar experience.
