"It often appears that the most profitable products are products-for-clients. **When a financial analyst crunches the numbers on BMW, they might think that there’s more profit in financial services than there is in cars. This would be a foolish error because products-for-clients only appear highly-profitable within the context of the overall product ecosystem**. BMW’s financial services are profitable because it has a steady stream of luxury cars to finance without having to run a single ad."
