My suggestions is with simplicity is look at the obvious and use common sense. See where you can simplify from what your competitors offer by simplifying a process. For example when my past business sold software the usual method was to send out the disk, plus we included a comprehensive guide as a book. We changed it to have the software downloadable and the guide was a PDF. It simplified it for customers, especially those from overseas and it cut down our and their costs. It takes stepping back and look at the process objectively from a customers' point of view.
Hope this helped and any other questions, happy to expand the answer.

Great example from your own experience and a great insight, especially the idea of looking to what competitors are doing in a field you are just entering. Thanks!

I'm wondering what advice you have for startups in terms of designing their process in the simplest terms for best chances of success. In other words, startups often have little or no idea of the preferences of their customer base since it is still in the early growing stages. Yet, obviously trying to do too much or present too many options is particularly dangerous for a startup since it can potentially waste time and resources while delivering options customers may not even want or need. Any suggestions here? Would love to have you post your thoughts in the comment section of the BizSugar community for the benefit of all our members.
