As always with big corporations, if the experience is OK for 90% of people but absolutely sucks for 10% of people, then that's totally fine! | ||

I can tell you how we approach enterprise partnerships: absolute accountability. If something is wrong with the data, it is not our customers' fault for trusting us, it is our fault. End users talk to us directly. And because the data is so good these days, we just have to present evidence, that's it. We with multi-billion-dollar corporations, and for every product integration we maintain an active, visible presence in their user communities. For example: https://community.cloudflare.com/search?q=ipinfo%20order%3Al... Customer support teams are encouraged to build support pipelines that either route data-related questions directly to us or send users directly. We remove friction rather than hiding behind layers of enterprise support. We make a deliberate "account manager for everyone" effort when introducing ourselves to a partner's user community. We engage with influential community members and MVP users and encourage them to contact us directly when issues arise. We also connect with the engineers who work hands-on with our data and make it clear that they have a direct line to our engineering team. We actively and aggressively monitor social media for reports of issues related to our data within partner platforms and engage with users directly when something comes up. To be honest, this is not difficult. Once or twice a month, we may need to present evidence to a user to explain our data decision. This is not a paid add-on or a special clause in an enterprise contract. Our customers do not pay extra for this level of engagement. Developers hold us in high regard. Maintaining that trust requires ongoing investment of time and resources. We fundamentally believe developers trust us because of the quality of the product and the lengths we go to provide clear, honest explanations when questions arise. | ||
