Preface
I learned marketing at my father’s bakery, a business that combines industry and retail. At the bakery, I learned to observe customers and experienced the greatest of all marketing lessons: to understand in order to serve.
When I decided, at age eighteen, to work at the bakery, I had my father’s first lesson: you must know well what you sell. I started a course on baking and learned to develop products. I didn’t prepare them, but I acquired the skill of creating them and monitoring their execution. The products were carefully designed and tested before being offered for sale. It was necessary to please customers, to stimulate the taste and, above all, to motivate the repurchase. I learned that price is value, because when a product was in fact approved, the consumer was pleased to pay for it.
From an early age, I lived at the bakery the concept of retail attraction radius, because the limit of customer attraction did not exceed five hundred meters without facing competitor that was sometimes stronger than us. I learned to study different and creative possibilities of taking advantage of the flow of traffic, which was not in our favor because the traffic flow was only from neighborhood to downtown. In other words, people passed by car going to work, not home, which certainly hindered the sale of bread. I remember well once when negotiating with an ice cream supplier, we had to change our counter layout because he insisted that the fridge with his brand should be visible to passersby in cars. I learned that day the importance of harmony in business-to-business relationships, terminology adopted years later to define the commercial relationship among companies.
At the bakery, distribution logistics were learned as our bakers delivered bread on bikes with speed and skill to ensure that the bread was still warm when received by the end customers or resellers.
The bakery taught me the importance of marketing relationships because the whole neighborhood knew my father and his employees. They, in turn, knew every customer by name, especially those from the book, a primitive and valuable database, now called database marketing.
I learned the value of the bakery tastes and the scent of the environment to stimulate the
