> Never give away "unlimited" anything

This is resonating very much with me, but perhaps for a different reason. I'm launching a product within a business that is already successful. I get to give demos to potential customers, and I've been making a point of saying, "And this aspect of the product is unlimited" about many things in the product. On the one hand, related to the above, it's potentially possible that a whale user could cost us, but it's frankly unlikely. But it occurs to me that if I put a limit on certain aspects of the offering, it will likely make it seem worth more -- it's a scarce resource if we treat it as such.

For additional context, this recommendation also comes from having customers explicitly tell me they can't tell their bosses that 1 status page is the same price as 200, when their existing enterprise contract for a similar service is 6 figures.

It was too cheap relative to what they expected to pay.
