Six years later, finally hit #1 best seller
by Rob FitzpatrickHaving designed the book for word of mouth, it has grown steadily upwards over the past six years until finally (and fairly randomly) hitting #1 in two of its categories on Amazon (small biz entrepreneurship and sales). I know it's a vanity metric, but it was nice to see :).

Most deserved! That book has helped me a lot. I learned how to phrase questions without pre-loading meaning.
I have been both the engineer and the customer-service person in our own little startup. The Mom Test taught me how to approach solution-based suggestions and transform them into problem-finding conversations. That made a big difference for our product.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)

A few years back I joined an incubator
The first thing they told us is READ THE MOM TEST!
I found it very valuable and didn't regret reading it one bit, even though I normally hate startup/business books
Congratulations Rob, you deserve it!

Vanity metric or not, that's awesome, so plant the flag, ring the bell, take a victory lap, and pop the champagne. It's worth celebrating.

Congrats! The Mom Test was recommended in one of the Startup School lectures... I wonder if that gave a boost! It's next on my reading list as well.
