Getting one out of four customer complaints to me means you’re pricing is right on. It is when you don’t get any customer complaints your prices are too low. I had another client in the service industry that wasn’t getting any complaints come to find out he was selling his products and services below cost.

The founder of a startup company has to have this very same conviction and belief.
