8 Lessons From The Field On Building A Premier Brand

Every new business dreams of becoming the premier brand in their space, like Starbucks is to coffee, and Apple is to consumer electronics, but they have no idea how difficult that is to achieve. In fact, only 100 of the 10,000 multimillion-dollar consumer companies around the world can claim to be an "apostle brand" – one that inspires enduring trust, loyalty, and endorsement.

One of the reasons it’s so tough is that the rules are constantly changing on what it takes to win over customers, as customer attitudes and cultures change, and competitors continually strive to "raise the bar" on product and support. I found some eye-opening insights in the classic book, "Rocket: Eight Lessons to Secure Infinite Growth," by The Boston Consulting Group.
