Understanding Customer Disconnect

A significant issue identified in the business was a disconnect between the product and the end-user customers. The previous approach relied heavily on communication with distributors, many of whom had little passion for the product due to their wide variety of offerings. Engaging directly with end-users is crucial to understanding both the strengths and weaknesses of a product. Direct customer interactions can reveal valuable insights that can lead to improvements and a better alignment between what is offered and what the market needs.
