Back then when he claimed that Amazon did a very good job of being customer focused, I was thinking: maybe, but whatever, I'm not sure what's special about their customer experience compared to others. Today, I'm thinking: wow, now that's a real example of audacious vision both executed and realized.

- ajaynv87 7y agoOn a tangent, I recently interviewed with amazon and you can tell everyone’s being pushed to go to great lengths when it comes to customer satisfaction. The interview really gave me a sense of what amazons thinking when they give you a 25 dollar discount when you call them about a delayed delivery on a 30 dollar item. From the outside looking in, you think they are crazy but when you’ve seen the organizational obsession with customer satisfaction, it all makes complete sense.
