Sorry but the customer really knows what he wants in the most basic terms. After that it's up to good sales reps to teach him what he wants by making him want what we have to offer. Because if you listen to the customer too much you eventually end up giving away your stuff for free.

If you truely want to make any customer happy make sure that you treat the customer with politeness and respect. Then make a quality product and make sure that it's somewhat *rare* or *difficult* to get. This way his belief in the value of his purchase increases 10 fold in his mind.
There is a difference between giving the customer what they want and GIVING the customer what they want.

Ask any customer if they would rather pay $50 for a Blu-ray player or get one for free and they will all take the free one. The problem with the porn business is that customers told us what they wanted and we gave them that and much, much more.
