When it’s this inviting, who cares?"
Dr. Betsy Kruger presents 12 marketing tips for profiting from the 80/20 rule in her award-winning bestseller "Aesop's Keys to Profitable Marketing."
According to Aesop, an ancient Greek slave, all are blessed with an amazing skill. Aesop related this tale about a peacock and a Greek goddess named Juno. The peacock complains, “When I utter a sound, the other birds laugh at my ugly voice. I envy the nightingale’s song.” Juno replies, “You’re blessed in beauty, not in song. I blessed every bird with a unique skill.” Aesop advises, “You go farther by using your own gift.”
Vilfredo Pareto discovered how much farther one goes by using its unique skill. In 1896, Pareto reported an amazing consistency --the top 20% of an entity's skills produced 80% of the results. Squaring this, he found the top 4% of the skills produced 64% of the results and the top 1% produced over half of the entity's results.
The 80/20 rule predicts how far a business can go by specializing in its strengths. First, rank the tasks of a business by their profitability. Call the top 20% “strengths” and the bottom 80% “weaknesses.” A business can predict its strengths will produce 80% of its profits. A business can earn even higher profits by specializing in fewer tasks.
In summary, Pareto proves that Aesop was right in saying, “You go farther by using your own gift.” Each business is blessed with a unique skill. A wise business specializes in offering this skill to others and competing on strength. Kruger's award-winning bestseller, "Aesop's Keys to Profitable Marketing," advises business leaders succeed by delighting their most profitable customers.
According to Michael Porter, Harvard Business School, “You can’t be all things to all people […] Strategy is about making choices, trade-offs; it’s about deliberately choosing to be different.”
