The 80/20 rule works in so many areas of business and life that I'm surprised so many people don't know about it.
It's basic premise is that 80% of something is accomplished by 20% of the people.
Here are a couple of examples, not necessarily true, but probably not far off, either:
- 20% of ActiveRain members have 80% of the points
- 20% of Realtors have 80% of the business
Another one that I have found is definitely true is that the average sale requires five to seven contacts. Eighty percent of the people don't make the second contact!
Are you part of the minority!
