If Forrester reports did not require a mortgage to purchase, I might be interested. - Andy Angelos

"The incentive method works especially if your productive can gain valuable feedback from other cash-strapped people in start mode. A $25 restaurant gift card (using restaurants.com to lower the purchase price) is more than enough incentive for me to complete a 20 minute survey. Also - if you have a product, I feel the best validation is getting people to use the product and making feedback simple to collect. Tons of feedback capturing tools available online allowing customers to single-click to create a suggestion." - Andy Angelos

"Thanks for reinforcing article, Rob. Have some concern with the following statement, however: "In my experience you will get 2-3 times the response rate interviewing by phone versus selling by phone." This is a true statement assuming you can enter the discussion without the interviewee feeling like a sale is imminent. A call from a stranger on the phone is rarely anything other than a sales initiative or unwanted government survey. I think this belief is especially true for us Generation Y products, who view the phone as a last effort form of communication. Currently, I am having success breaking the barriers with my University of Texas affiliation. I fear that when I return to just "Andy the entrepreneur" instead of "Andy the studentpreneur" - the road will be more difficult. Any strategies for avoiding this problem?" - Andy Angelos
