“ Tell yourself at every step in the design process that someone has undoubtedly already thought of this and what can you do to really set it apart.

Interesting new 37signals method of getting Highrise users to upgrade their accounts. A limited production, get it before it’s gone, type sale.
I think this sale would be much more effective if they said 20% off for life or at least a year, for the first 100 people. Then even if you don’t have a need for an upgraded account right now, you still might go for it, thinking “well, we *might* need it soon”.
