5 років томуJeff Bezos explained his ambitious vision for Amazon in a 1999 interview. He made clear the company’s focus was on “great customer service” and discussed his real estate strategy. Bezos said, “There’s no guarantee that Amazon.com can be a successful company. What we’re trying to do is very complicated.” He added, “Scale is important to us and we’re going to go after that kind of scale.”

@Rick-xx2ck 3 роки тому
@@martinvannostrand8488 It's one of the best paying low skilled jobs available. Level of pay is directly proportional to what an individual can produce in a free market capitalist economy. If one wants to make more money, they have to learn a skill that their employer finds more value in. Just like you wouldn't pay twice as much for the same television, an employer isn't going to pay twice as much for half the value. It just doesn't work out. People that whine about how much money Jeff Bezos is making vs. how much they are making, do not understand how much value he brings to the company. However, if one wants to make as much money as Jeff Bezos can simply follow his formula. Provide a service + Do it better than the competition by obsessing over customer satisfaction + repeat = successful business.
@Efex1996 Рік тому
Very interesting to see that Jeff back then looked at the internet in a very different way than the interviewer. Jeff saw back then the internet as a tool to provide the best customer service, while the interviewer (in my opinion) looked at the internet as the product it self.

23 years later, and I still never order items from Amazon that I can get at my local food store (despite their acquisition of Whole Foods), the prices are ridiculously expensive for food store items (which includes delivery charge, even for prime members and they also force accept substitution of products). I only order items on Amazon that I cannot find at my local stores (but I was doing this on other internet sites, that was until Amazon started offering Prime shipping, without that option I would drop Amazon real quick, and also I have noticed in the past couple years I am seeing less products I order being offered the Prime Shipping, so I just buy from another provider).

I don't really think so. I feel that he was just doing his job and asking the questions that a lot of investors who were probably on the fence needed to ask, to be convinced enough to invest in Amazon. I mean, if you were going to give him your hard earned money, then it is really important that you see him look you in the eye and answer those hard questions with the kind of belief that he did.

YES... one of my favourite Walton quotes too. Another one I like is when the stock market crashed in 1987. Walton was visiting one of his stores (he spent a LOT of time in the stores talking to regular customers) and the store was buzzing with customers. Outside in the parking lot, as he was getting into his beaten-out station waggon, a journalist approached him and asked: "Mr Walton, your stock holding just devalued by $2 billion... what do you have to say about it?" Walton pointed to the door of the store where people were entering and leaving: "There's the value... going in keen, and coming out happy. Stock?... it's just paper."
