Q5 Why is change management difficult and what difficulties can be created for the organisational change management team?

Lack of Proper Planning

Without step-by-step planning, change in an organization is likely to fall apart or cause more problems than benefits. You need to understand exactly what changes will take place and how those changes will occur.

Low Employee Morale

In many instances, employees dislike change unless it is one that they have requested or lobbied for, which means that obtaining buy-in is a major barrier to change.

Lack of Consensus

If you fail to get everyone on board with corporate changes, you are likely to face barriers during the process. The decision to implement changes should come from the top level of the organization.

Plan Strategies

1. Build trust with customer reviews

Reviews are probably the most effective automotive marketing strategy there is. 

When it comes to automotive marketing, there is no better way to instill trust than to let your customers speak for you!

2. Be at the top of the Google SERP

70% of consumers researching cars turn to search engines first.

While Bing might seem like the neglected cousin of Google, they do account for a section of the search market that typically attracts older folks—people who are probably more financially established and able to invest in expensive cars.

3. Bid on competitor keywords

It is a fierce and competitive world in automotive marketing, so being able to show up every time your competition does with compelling ad copy is key.

4. Actively manage your negative keyword list

For instance, imagine if you’re bidding on the keyword “affordable cars” and your ad appears for the search “toy cars,” and then a busy parent accidentally clicks. This is not only a waste of time for the parent, but it’s a waste of money for you!
