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:

  1. 20% of ActiveRain members have 80% of the points
  2. 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!

Great post!!!   In the property management biz, we say that 20% of our clients/tenants give us 80% of our headaches....and your 20%/80% holds true for gaining business AND keeping business!

Hey Russell!  Thanks for visiting my blog.  I was really enjoying reading down through your blog posts! I love the recurring theme...at least one cat picture in each post!  So cute!  You've taken some great pictures!

Yes, it's true...the 80/20 rule is so true!  Make it a great day Russell!

Russel,

That's a good point. Put the two rules together and you should be making regular contact with your prospects.

Russel - that 80 20 rule applies in most cases. It is important to maintain contacts with your sphere, and add to it.

If you can find 80% of what you want in a house, buy it! This was a tip Frank learned when he was selling yachts in Marina del Rey. It really helps Buyers relax and focus on what they really want. Also, we use 20% of our stuff 80% of the time :)

Russel...The 80/20 rule has is something I believe is very true.  At least is has been in my experience.  We really need to be sure we are in the 20!

Hey, Folks.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

I have read all the comments, but since this post is rather old, rather than making comments here in my post to each and every one of you, I'll just let everyone know that I have read all the comments and if there are any questions, I'll answer those below. Otherwise I'll simply post this comment and then head over to your blogs soon to visit and do some reading and commenting. I hope you'll have a nice welcome mat out for me!

Don't forget to let your cat come out to play with all the other ActiveRain kitties. Your cat-friendly dogs can come, too!

If you need a great cat book, get yourself a copy of Peg Silloway's The Cat Lover's Book of Days.

Hope all is well with everyone.
