		<description>Yes, that 80/20 is quite remarkable. It occurs over and over. 

I&#039;ve found it to be the case over the years with lead generation programmes. Typically 80% of the revenue comes from  20% of respondents. And then, as you fine-tune the programme over time, you&#039;ll find that the same ratio occurs AGAIN within the smaller, more targeted, more profitable group.

And yes, the application to clients is VERY true. I remember talking to a CEO of an accounting practice in Brisbane years ago who had &#039;sacked&#039; his poorest-performing clients. They were the 80% the produced the least revenue, yet caused the most hassle. It was a big decision — some $190K of revenue. But it was all back withing 8 months because they could then give better service to the 20% that were left. 

More profit. Less hassle. And his business was another 25% UP IN SIX MONTHS AFTER THAT as his reputation for good service spread.</description>
