Making The Connection Between Disruption And Customer Loyalty
Lawrence Ganti, a Forbes Councils Member, writes that “As much as people love something new, in my experience, most people don't like change. Incumbents, both in markets and in congressional seats, have a distinct advantage over those who seek to displace them. If you want to make changes on a big scale, you must first convince the masses that change is necessary.”
He says “Customers like the idea of innovation more than the reality. It's up to you to build the bridge to carry them over the gap. Bring the same attention to your go-to-market plan as you gave to your innovative new product or service, and your customers will respond positively.”
