More quotes by Jeff Bezos
If your customer base is aging with you, then eventually you are going to become obsolete or irrelevant. You need to be constantly figuring out who are your new customers and what are you doing to stay forever young.
Jeff Bezos
Millions of people were inspired by the Apollo Program. I was five years old when I watched Apollo 11 unfold on television, and without any doubt it was a big contributor to my passions for science, engineering, and exploration.
Jeff Bezos
One of the things that I hope will distinguish Amazon.com is that we continue to be a company that defies easy analogy. This requires a lot of innovation, and innovation requires a lot of random walk.
Jeff Bezos
Our point of view is we will sell more if we help people make purchasing decisions.
Jeff Bezos
I try to spend my time on areas that I think are important for the future, and where I think I can add value.
Jeff Bezos
Many of the traits that make Amazon unusual are now deeply ingrained in the culture. In fact, if I wanted to change them, I couldn't. The cultures are self-reinforcing, and that's a good thing.
Jeff Bezos
... if it's not your style to stretch and go the extra mile to make sure our customer experience is great, you're going to have an allergic reaction to this company. You probably won't stay. If you do try and stay, but can't adapt to the culture then it will reject you like a virus from a healthy immune system.
Jeff Bezos
If you look at academic studies, you can see that stock prices are most closely correlated with cash flow. It's such a straightforward number. Cash flow is what will drive shareholder returns.
Jeff Bezos
You don't want to negotiate the price of simple things you buy every day.
Jeff Bezos
If you never want to be criticized, for goodness sake don't do anything new.
Jeff Bezos
I'm not saying that advertising is going away. But the balance is shifting. If today the successful recipe is to put 70 percent of your energy into shouting about your service and 30 percent into making it great, over the next 20 years I think that's going to invert.
Jeff Bezos
Effective process is not bureaucracy. Bureaucracy is senseless process.
Jeff Bezos
Cultures aren’t so much planned as they evolve from that early set of people.
Jeff Bezos
If you invent frequently and are willing to fail, then you never get to that point where you really need to bet the whole company.
Jeff Bezos
If you want to be inventive, you have to be willing to fail.
Jeff Bezos
You know, if you make a customer unhappy they won't tell five friends, they'll tell 5,000 friends. So, we are at a point now where we have all of the things we need to build an important and lasting company, and if we don't, it will be shame on us.
Jeff Bezos
I think that, ah, I'm a very goofy sort of person in many ways.
Jeff Bezos
The death knell for any enterprise is to glorify the past -- no matter how good it was.
Jeff Bezos
I’m a big fan of all-you-can-eat plans, because they’re simpler for customers.
Jeff Bezos
I'm skeptical of any mission that has advertisers at its centerpiece.
