Question:
You've got a brand new Enterprise customer starting tomorrow, $X ARR and X users. (Align the scenario to your business). You're walking home from work and you spot a lamp on the side of the road. You pick it up, rub it and a genie pops out. He says you can have 3 wishes that apply to this new customer and you can ask for anything in the world that you think will make this customer successful with you.
