Selling Innovation in a Commoditized Market
Selling a new innovation or a new concept is hard, because clients are resistant. They don't get it, or they're not prepared to change. So they ply you with platitudes, "This looks amazing, but it's two years ahead of what we need." Or some other compliment veiled as a brush off. The issue is not one of innovation or understanding. This issue is branding. Positioning an innovation requires a different approach.
