Business Product Quotes A-Z by Author |
No
matter what your product is, you are ultimately in the education business. Your
customers need to be constantly educated about the many advantages of doing business
with you, trained to use your products more effectively, and taught how to make
never-ending improvement in their lives.

difference whether the product is cars or cosmetics. A company is only as good
as the people it keeps.

The lifeblood of our business is that R&D spend. There's nothing that
flows through a pipe or down a wire or anything else. We have to continuously
create new innovation that lets people do something they didn't think they could
do the day before.

The sources of deflation are not a mystery. Deflation is in almost
all cases a side effect of a collapse of aggregate demand.. a drop in spending
so severe that producers must cut prices on an ongoing basis in order to find
buyers.

At a time when all the other builders were
selling homes with basements but without
carports, we would sell homes without basements
and with carports. This allowed us to provide
a more appealing product at a lower price.
In other words, we felt we would be giving
customers greater value.

When you think of the blur of all the brands
that are out there, the ones you believe
in and the ones you remember, like Chanel
and Armani, are the ones that stand for
something. Fashion is about establishing
an image that consumers can adapt to their
own individuality. And it's an image that
can change, that can evolve. It doesn't
reinvent itself every two years.

The key to longevity is to keep doing what
you do better than anyone else. We work
real hard at that. It's about getting your
message out to the consumer. It's about
getting their trust, but also getting them
excited, again and again. My clothes.. the
clothes we make for the runway.. aren't
concepts. They go into stores. Our stores.
Thankfully, we have lots of them.

Ralph Lauren has always stood for providing
quality products, creating worlds and inviting

stores that encourage customers to participate

If you're a car salesman, and someone says
"This is a terrible car, I'm not buying
it," it doesn't mean they hate you.
They just don't like your product. I think
that's a mistake a lot of people in show
business make.. they're so tied to their
act they take everything personally.

There is no room for dictating taste in
the diverse and dynamic world of media.

Intelligent media companies strive to provide
both intellectual and comedy programs, groundbreaking
and reflective articles, art house and popular
movies. Not to be open minded in providing
a full range of quality media would be a
failure to serve the breadth and depth of
the communities we live in.

Let’s be honest. There’s not a
business anywhere that is without problems.
Business is complicated and imperfect. Every
business everywhere is staffed with imperfect
human beings and exists by providing a product
or service to other imperfect human beings.

Customers don't always know what they want.
The decline in coffee-drinking was due to
the fact that most of the coffee people
bought was stale and they weren't enjoying
it. Once they tasted ours and experienced
what we call "the third place"..
a gathering place between home and work
where they were treated with respect.. they
found we were filling a need they didn't
know they had.

In the 1960s, if you introduced a new product
to America, 90% of the people who viewed
it for the first time believed in the corporate
promise. Then 40 years later if you performed
the same exercise less than 10% of the public
believed it was true. The fracturing of
trust is based on the fact that the consumer
has been let down.

This morning, prompted by increasing concerns
about terrorism, oil prices reached a record
high as the cost of a barrel of crude is
a whopping $44.34. Wow, it seems shocking
that a product of finite supply gets more
expensive the more we use it. Now the terror
alert means higher oil prices, which oddly
enough means higher profits for oil companies
giving them more money to give to politicians
whose policies may favor the oil companies
such as raising the terror alert level.
As Simba once told us: "It's the circle
of life."

I think it's very important that whatever you're trying to make or sell,
or teach has to be basically good. A bad product and you know what? You won't

The fact of the matter is that today, stuff-selling mega-corporations have
a huge influence on our daily lives. And because of the competitive nature of
our global economy, these corporations are generally only concerned with one thing..
the bottom line. That is, maximizing profit, regardless of the social or environmental
costs.

The essence of a successful business is really quite simple. It is your ability
to offer a product or service that people will pay for at a price sufficiently
above your costs, ideally three or four or five times your cost, thereby giving
you a profit that enables you to buy and to offer more products and services.

Customers today want the very most and the very best for the very least amount
of money, and on the best terms. Only the individuals and companies that provide
absolutely excellent products and services at absolutely excellent prices will
survive.

Creative things have to sell to get acknowledged

Jobs didn't really set the direction

did the more important part of turning them
into a product that would change the world.
