Jeff Bezos: Secrets To Amazon’s Success
The Most Customer-Centric Company In The World
Amazon has really had only one stated goal since it began: to be the most customer-centric company in the world. That was Jeff Bezos’ goal when he started Amazon. Actually it wasn’t his goal—it was his obsession. Early in his career he told a reporter, “The reason I’m so obsessed with the drivers of the customer experience is that I believe that the success we have had has been driven exclusively by that customer experience. We are not great advertisers. So we start with customers, figure out what they want, and figure out how to get it to them.”
Bezos is consistent. Years ago I watched a video where he says, “When given the choice of obsessing over the competitors or obsessing over the customers, we always obsess over the customers.” Speaking at the Economic Club of Washington a few weeks ago, he was again quoted saying, “The No. 1 thing that has made us successful by far is obsessive compulsive focus on the customer as opposed to obsession over the competitor.”
Bezos also knows when a CEO is going to be successful at building a great customer experience company. “I talk so often to other CEOs and founders and entrepreneurs, and I can tell even though they’re talking about customers, they’re really focused on competitors,” Bezos said.
