- 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.”

Jeff Bezos In 1999 On Amazon's Plans Before The Dotcom Crash
Legend has it Jeff is still maintaining eye contact with the interviewer
LOL!
haha good 1
Even through his window, at night.
i 6tir lol yeah
Sanjid Rahman 😂
Employee: Am I fired?
Jeff: No, you're promoted to customer.
the best 🤣 i'll save it for my portfolio
lmao
Lollll
😂😂😂😂
lmfao this actually made me laugh. best one
Interviewer: So Jeff, how did you meet your first wife?
Jeff: *She was my first customer*
Sounds sus😂
Ayoooo lmaoooo
*I was her first customer
Not true she helped him start the company
Got me dead
The way he answered all the questions is just amazing. Every word on point.
that
Interviewer: youre losing hair jeff
Jeff: i gave it to my customers
😭
🤣😂😂😂😂😂
All about the customer service
😂
Its true, he cares more about customers more than employees. I watched the news. Why cant he care for both?
Jeff Bezos's mother: "OMG, he is about to say his first words!"
10 month old Jeff: "The key is customer service"
Loool
Jeff Bezos 1997 Interview ua-cam.com/video/ujSZ24wHtXw/v-deo.html
Lmaooo good one
lmao😂💯
Lmaoo
The interesting thing about amazon is at this point people still percieved them as a small online book store. But 3000 employees and a million+ sq feet of distro centers, in *1999* is huge, for the time.
Yup.... That's right....
almost feels like they wanted to keep amazon low profile, so retail investors wouldn't buy stocks in order to profit off of it...
Just like Tesla today
@@stevew3947 Tesla has 100k employees and 100s of billions in market cap wtf are you on about lmao
@@Adam-uz3hj come back to this comment in 2055 and see how it aged.... that would be the correct comparison to the one above....
Love him or hate him: a heck of a businessman.
He's the purest of all businsspeople, he analysed the market and the business sharply and acted on that
who cares?
@@Cuckold_Cockles nobody cares about your comment. people do care about jeff bezos more than your random comment because of his achievements lol
I’m a firm believer that a company that is obsessed with its customers shall never perish from the planet. There are just too many companies like most car dealership, want to do nothing but cheat their customers😂
One could argue he knew what he was talking about for sure
He looks like a mix of Kevin Spacey and Nicholas Cage
alisina rahimian lol
on crack
Let's hope he controls his perverted temptations better than Kevin and his checkbook better than Cage :)
More like Adam shifty shiff
Nailed it
If another guy explains his business plan with that kind of eye contact and belief, we better go buy some of his stocks.
Exactly, that man had determination in his eyes.
stone cold eye
@@cryptosavy9716 He had no soul in his eyes.
Check the CEO and founder of Yext. I have not seen that passion and determination for a while now
Tesla spacex just to name a few
He gets Oscar for the best eye contact. 👍😊
His laugh too
I think the eye contact would be Ritalin or the like ahaha
With his worth he is already ordering a castration on the comment.
@@jackhansen7305 hes clearly terrifying
He's simply mad. A couple a yams out of the mind chap
You could just see the drive and determination within him during this interview to turn Amazon into what it is today. I bet he was working 100 hr weeks back in those days.
yeah, he's both focused and intelligent, I don't why people laugh at him about repetitively saying customers, he's doing the right thing
How are you jeff?
- it doesnt matter how i feel. but the question is: how does the customer feel?
question is definitely not how do my employees feel
@Dex4Sure They have higher minimum wage for sure, but nothing else. 🤔
@Dex4Sure I didn't say they should be paid as much as the CEO...
Jeff should ask “how does the worker feel?”
@@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.
Jeff's wife: "He's probably thinking about other girls"
Jeff: *The key is customer service*
Lmao dude😂
Neither is wrong..
He was definitely thinking of other women lol
You watch death note?
@@anirudh1835 Yes, I've watched it twice. I'm into other anime as well.
Very interesting to see that Jeff back then looked at the internet in a very different way than the interviewer.
Jeff saw back then the internet as a tool to provide the best customer service, while the interviewer (in my opinion) looked at the internet as the product it self.
100%
The interviewer sounded to have doubt in JB - smh
The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies....
The decision to invest is an acknowledgment that comes with certain risks. Not all investments will do well and some may lose money. However, without risk there would be no opportunity to potentially earn the higher returns that can help you grow your wealth.
@@canary7361 I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or bitcoin and stocks.
I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
@@ericchk102 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.
@@markconley3877 You allow people to trade for you? that's interesting, I would love to learn, hope it’s safe?
"The key is customer service."
Ends up the richest man on earth.
Amen!
Comcast: I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that.
“You’re telling me you’re going to take on the established retail industry? How are you going to compete with an indestructible retail giant like Sears huh? With no experience, you might as well take on the astronaut business with no experience..”
“Hmmm....”
that says a lot about the rest of losers , the 99%er humans
by sucking blood of sellers and Customers :D
Seems like a nice guy, hope his book company works out for him.....
Yah I hope so too.
JMM he went bankrupt sadly
@GODESTINY bruh the only stupid people in this comment thread is the dude who doesn't get that everyone including op is joking (spoiler: it's you lmao)
GODESTINY what‘s an rwosh?
@@fachriandraya8747 You look more like an idiot here for the fact that you think someone unironically wrote that
His passion for his company should be a motivation for every one that wants to have their own business
That’s what truly believing in yourself look like.
He looks like Kevin Spacey
This is what I thought. Rarely seen such confidence
Yeah
Jeffs Wife: Honey i just got in an accident, its bad.
Jeff: Is the customer ok?
😂😂😂
His wife divorced him like a year ago bud
Omg I started choking cuase of you 😂
😂🤣😂 its unfortunately true and sad
Septic r/whoooosh
One of Jeff's eyeballs is looking at his customers. The other is looking for new customers.
I almost spat my water out reading this.
my god 😂
Underrated 😂
🤣🤣🤣
lmao, such an underrated comment
Interviewer: do have any friends ,jeff?
jeff: I have customers
or frienstomers, if you will
Interviewer: "do you have any girlfriends?"
Bezos: "I have customers."
Do you love your kids Jeff? They’re my employees I pay them with stock options
You can tell by this interview, by the way he talks and conducts himself, that Jeff is a very intelligent guy that fully understood what he was doing and what it was going to become.
interviewer: you cant just disrupt every industry
jeff bezos: hold my shminternet
😭😭
😂😂😂
IBrainedMyDamage lmao cost him 34 billion
:D :D :D
@Shajara
Wtf is shminternet
I bought a $300 item off amazon that didnt offer returns. I called to complain I didnt like the item and they just told me to keep it and gave me a full refund. I was amazed.
#anthonyron82 they thrive off giving refunds. I thought I lost three packages once but they were in the front office. They refunded everything and gave me a credit so I bought more stuff. Genius in giving away free things as long as you don’t get too greedy 😩😩
#anthonyron82 that's why they're as big as they are
They can take the loss because for every one person like you they have a million that don't complain
I ordered a pack of 6 small jars of hazelnut butter. One of them ended up cracked (I presume during delivery). I complained to amazon about this and they told me to keep the rest and sent over a new 6 pack
The shipping costs probably doesn't make it worth it to ship it back.
To summarise everything Jeff said in three words: ✨"BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE." ✨
I love this interview, the way the interviewer almost combats what Jeff’s saying makes an entertaining conversation.
Interviewer: you havent blinked.
Jeff: gotta keep an eye out for customers.
can't let one slip away
😂😂😂
Lollll
I love this 😂
Lmaooooooooooooo
Jeff looks like he is waiting for the interviewer to say one negative thing about the customers so he can start swinging.
lmao
Lmaaao
🥇
😂😂
He’s about to get these hands with free shipping
Chris Hansen : Have a seat right over there for me Jeff
Jeff : Im just here for the customers
The new Jeff looks back at the old Jeff while maintaining constant eye contact and providing the best customer service.
The interviewer probably can't sleep normally now.
he traumatised
The questions were rational given the context of the time, internet companies in general were seen as risky endeavors and this was on the eve of the Y2K crisis, which was also a rational fear. I’d sleep well knowing I got to interview one of the now most successful CEOs in the world especially when no one had really any idea it was going to end up being this significant
Yeah I couldn’t tell if the interviewer was clueless or was asking valid, hard-hitting questions.
20 years later and Bezos looks like an absolute madman wrapped in pure genius and we hardly recognize true journalism.
Hahaha, I know right!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lololololol
20 years later, Jeff Bezo's donated millions to the homeless not because they're starving, but because one day, they too can become customers.
so money can make you younger to
Damn right
Is he making slaves ?
The 100mill donated-equivalent of a person earning 50 thou a year donating 50 bucks lol
Damn!!! That's a wild concept
His eye contact shows his excitement about the future. He is the Albert Einstein of our time. His confidence is amazing! The internet was so new at that point and it shows how exciting it was. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and being confident in your vision, even in a time when no one understood
It’s funny how the interview is almost questioning Jeff in a way that is almost doubtful. Crazy to think how much of a monolith Amazon is now.
Based on this interview, Jeff was at least 10 years ahead in thinking of what e-commerce could be one day
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.
More like 20 years. Nobody doing what they're currently doing. Perhaps for another 5 years.
@@noahmcdaniel4920 hindsight is 20/20 my guy. can you predict the future right 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?
Look how innocent Jeff bezos used to look. He now looks like Lex Luther.
steve kno you have to understand this was in a time before he had met or was aware of Superman. Can you really blame him? 😂
@@marcozolo3536 Before he met El-on Musk 🚀
he looked "older" with his hair still back then than he does now. It's like he was a weird Kevin Spacey
He is Lex Luthor, Mark Zuckerberg is Braniac, Vladimir Putin will become Vandal Savage hahahah
It's called money
All of these statements about putting the customer first are actually beautiful points to consider in building any consumer product!!
Jeff represents every aspiring business person who is goal oriented, has clear vision, and who is enthusiastic about starting their business. The interviewer represents every doubting self-absorbed critic who think that they know better.
Interviewer: What side of the bed do you sleep on?
Jeff: There is only one side of the bed... the customers side.
😂😂😂
one of the best versions of that comment!
Where the money resides.
Fantastic!
lol so funny. I like the part where he outsources the jobs to places with slave labor. So good for our childrens future!! Keep watching cable TV!
Every time he blinks he earns 1 million dollars.
he would have a lot less money than he has now if that were the case..
Underrated comment
He makes about 300 million a day, a few thousand dollars a second, and the other day, because of stocks, Jeff Bezos has earned up to $13 billion in a single day. O_O
$149,353 per minute holy cow
@tatagimpera games 💯 in 2020 aswell! 🤦♂️
The interviewer didn't believe in Jeff and his vision. Gotta be kicking himself for not investing in AMZ.
Lol I knowwwww right
This is one of my favorite interviews
There is absolutely NO GOOD REASON to have music over an interview.
Makes it a little more dramatic kinda like the WWE stars come out to entry music or a soap opera with intense music. Just to dramatize it up a bit
Before 2000, I’m ok with music over interview. Especially a tech interview
joshuajethro This music doesn’t work and is way too loud. If you watch well-made documentaries, interviews usually have music over it and it’s much better imo, it makes it seem more dramatic and interesting. Well-made docs are also more fast paced than this however.
@@AnonYMouse-ky4sg are u paying attention to what's being said ? If yes then the music is not loud in my opinion .. his voice level is clearly way above it ...
Kid Yetti The point is not that his voice is just loud enough to drown out the music, the music shouldn’t even be noticeable unless you’re looking for it. It’s the same reason something like metal isn’t used for background music most of the time for example.
I bet it hurts the interviewer buying stuff off Amazon now.
I don't think they could have predicted the outcome
@@FollowTheTrend798 he kept trying to tho
It doesn't matter... Interviewer might be a happy customer of Amazon

Jeff: "So i can be closer to you, the customer."
😂😂
This focus and execution is insane. The fact that amazon is what it is now. Wow, just wow.
Interviewer: “Jeff, you are now tackling climate change is that right?”
Jeff: “Yes of course. Without the planet, there would be no customers.”
Not even that, you can see a change in his voice and ego... he’s disgusting

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.

@Kevin Prima get a life David Lee Roth😉
An amazing quote if you ask me!
good on Jeff for sticking to his own trajectory in this conversation, even though at every chance the interviewer tried to paint the picture that it was a bad idea and doomed to fail.
If the interviewer hadn't been so critical, the interview would never have become as memorable as it is now. It is essentially the job of the interviewer to play devil's advocate and thus give the interviewee a chance to defend themselves and shine a light on all the aspects of their enterprise that they deem necessary to do so. Critical interrogation is probably the best way to do that.
That's why he was the interviewer, and Jeff was the business genius.
Amazing talk
I’ve never seen a man speak with such conviction. His eye contact is ridiculous

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.
"In the long term there is no diference between customer interests and shareholder interests"
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."

No, with all due respect, the interviewer would serve no purpose if he'd just agree with Bezos. Interviewers ask challenging questions not because of their particular beliefs, but to produce interesting answers.
@@iRaps1 Thing is, he didn't ask any challenging questions. He just didn't understand anything. He couldn't even understand the basic concept of saving cost by having distribution centres instead of stores.
@@Madzguy007 of course the interviewer understands 😂 he's an industry expert. It looks like YOU don't understand. He's asking provoking questions to get responses to market sentiment that was relevant to the time. The interviewers job is to challenge someone and for the sake of the program. And yes, questioning the longevity and viability of their business model is challenging
@@jakewestin4176 all he did was trying to stress that Amazon had brick and mortar stores therefore not "pure" internet company. Wtf that matters? Without internet, there's no Amazon. He could not understand that in the business model the costliest part of the business was replaced by the website (retail units with rents, electric consumption and staff wages). To access huge crowds this was brilliant. No wonder Jack Ma copied it once the political situation allowed him to do so.
dude... he is just a reporter

I'd love to see a follow up interview today, nearly 23 years later. using the same individual who was questioning Jeff here.
23 years later, and I still never order items from Amazon that I can get at my local food store (despite their acquisition of Whole Foods), the prices are ridiculously expensive for food store items (which includes delivery charge, even for prime members and they also force accept substitution of products). I only order items on Amazon that I cannot find at my local stores (but I was doing this on other internet sites, that was until Amazon started offering Prime shipping, without that option I would drop Amazon real quick, and also I have noticed in the past couple years I am seeing less products I order being offered the Prime Shipping, so I just buy from another provider).
jeff bezos is a genius. The interviewer was caught in the times thinking about the "internet" and tech boom. Amazon focused on the the customer experience and focused on delighting the customer. What a great business
But it's like he said, it wasn't about the internet... that was only the channel they used. The customer experience was the grand focus so at the end of the day what do you attribute the success of Amazon to? The internet and e-commerce? Or do you attribute the meteoric rise of the internet and e-commerce to Amazon's customer orientation?
@samuel lee say something new ... everyone knows what to have said ...
@@RobertRaubenheimer I attribute Amazon's Success to the Human race tendency for idleness. Not to mention the positive benefit for some people of not having to socially interact with anybody else.
@@RobertRaubenheimer It' not either-or. It's both the focus on customer experience AND the ability to control costs (ie., keep prices low) by using the internet channel. Amazon wouldn't exist without both of those (the latter being more important).
@ISOHaven that's how all businesses should be run. what happened to the standards
This interviewer wanted Jeff to fail so badly.
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.
The questions were relevant at that point in time

It's sad how difficult things have become in the present generation. I was wondering how to utilise some money I had. I used some of it for e-commerce business, but that sank. I'm thinking of how to use what's left to invest, but I don't really know which way to go.
Yeah, things may be hard right now, but I've come to realize both bear and bull market, recessions and economic boom, all provide opportunities to make high gains, I used to call bluff on folks that bragged about making a fortune from such down-markets until I happened to do so myself
I agree. I've been working with a financial advisor since 2020, and I return up to 15k every month, and I don't even have to lift a finger. Although I also think the reason I make this much is because I started with significant capital.
That makes a lot of sense. To be on the safer side and not second guess your market decisions, I’d suggest you reach out to a proper investment adviser for guidance, they’re better equipped at understanding market patterns/movements and adjusting portfolio to match up with these market trends
Monica Shawn Marti is the licensed coach I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I looked up her name online and found her page. I emailed and made an appointment to talk with her. Thanks for the tip
