Some responded negatively such as Quraishi (the tribe the Muhammad was from)leaders. Many responded positively such as Abu Bakr the first caliph. Those who responded posetively spread the word of Islam far and wide which is how Islam became the fastest growing religion on earth and the second most populous.

First, Arabs ignored Muhammad and his teachings. His first twelve years of preaching got him only 150 followers. Then, when Muhammad made clear that he intended to purge the idols from the Kaaba, this caused mass uproar because the majority of Meccans were polytheists. As a result, Muhammad was threatened with death. After fleeing to Medina, Muhammad established an Islamic theocracy and was effective in converting almost all of Arabia to Islam in the subsequent eight years through acts of conquest, treaty, repression of other religions, and political privileges for Muslims.

What was the most important difference between Muhammad teachings and the beliefs of other Arabs?

It depends on which "other Arabs" you are talking about; Pre-Islamic Arabia was a very religiously diverse place. However, the majority of Arabs were either henotheists or polytheists, so Muhammad's promotion of one God was unique for them. Conversely, Muhammad's revelation was different from those of the Jews and the Christians in citing a more universal prophetic tradition and creating a new set of edicts and organizations.
