In this quote, Jeffrey Gitomer emphasizes the significance of customer loyalty over mere satisfaction. While satisfied customers may have positive experiences, loyalty ensures that they will return and continue to support the business, thus providing lasting value.

Owning a popular sports team is very different than any other type of business. They don't throw parades when Apple has the biggest quarter in corporate history. People don't call and email asking for anyone from the team to come visit their sick child. They don't cry as they request a jersey of their child's favorite player to be buried with them.

It is difficult, but not impossible, to conduct strictly honest business.

Conscious means "having an awareness of one's inner and outer worlds; mentally perceptive, awake, mindful." So "conscious business" might mean, engaging in an occupation, work, or trade in a mindful, awake fashion. This implies, of course, that many people do not do so. In my experience, that is often the case. So I would definitely be in favor of conscious business; or conscious anything, for that matter.
