  • Jeff 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.”

      That makes a lot of sense.

      @@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.

The interviewer was basically making the point that the business model of "great customer service" is nothing unique. Everyone claims that.

    As Sam Walton once said "There is only one boss: the customer. And he can fire everybody in the company, from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else." Those who excel put their customers first.

      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."

      Because they only got famous after decades of very successful work, which is why footage of them at their workplace in the 90s exists. There they of course have that 90s office clothes and style in general, which you associate with The Office, because the style became so cliché it was inserted into the show purposefully for comedic effect.

    The market is very unstable and you can not tell If it's going bearish or bullish. I advise y'all to forget predictions and start making a good profit now because future valuations are all speculations and guesses. When these reports are bullish take some off to the side lines, when news gets bearish start buying. "Keep it simple simple" that bear/ correction was the best thing that happened me.

      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.
