The 80/20 rule (Pareto’s Principle), how it might apply to your sales efforts and what therefore you may need to do
Vilfredo Pareto – born in Paris just like I was and that’s where our similarities end. Amongst many other achievements during his career, his observation that, in Italy, 80% of the property was owned by 20% of the population became the foundation for the Pareto Principle which states that, for many outcomes, 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.

Follow up you must but never just ‘check-in’.
