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.”

@Rick-xx2ck 3 года назад

@@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.

If the interviewer hadn't been so critical, the interview would never have become as memorable as it is now.

@noahmcdaniel4920 3 года назад

It's strange it shouldn't have surprised anyone, it makes perfect sense that it became the future of retail. People don't deal with change well and couldn't see through their biases to think logically about it. I'm sure smart people everywhere knew what was coming and they're probably all rich now.

@@1x0x regarding some things, sure. If you understand something it’s not that hard to see what kind of place it will likely have in the world in the future. The problem is most people plugged their ears whenever anyone told them the internet was the future of retail. They were so incredulous about their norms changing that they failed to see the utility of the internet.

@Ron Bali crypto is the future for banking. Why would you want to pay extra fees and have it arrive in a couple days rather than having no middle man and arrived in Seconds. It’s more efficient but I don’t know people want to stick to the traditional way I guess?

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."
