24. Peter Drucker
“Because the purpose of business is to create a customer, the
business enterprise has two – and only two – basic functions:
marketing and innovation.
Marketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are costs. Marketing is the distinguishing, unique
function of the business.”

29. Audi?
• The emissions issue affects the Volkswagen-owned Audi A3 vehicle. But
consumers appear to be giving the Audi brand a pass so far on social
media, according to Amobee.
• Audi's negative tweet sentiment was 8% negative Sept. 18-21, compared with 9% negative Sept. 14-17. Even though
some Audi vehicles use the technology in question, the issue is "primarily being associated by the digital audience with
the parent company," according to Amobee.

a transfer of feelings.”

55. It is not about what your customers need, it is
about what they want.
And what they want is not always logical or rational. Or even good for us.
57. To understand what your customers want, you
need to listen and ask different questions.
Wants are emotions we find hard to talk about. So dig deeper for the emotions
behind the obvious answers.
