For some, customer is the king, for others, customer is the god. For me, customer is a beloved friend I strive to make happier.

Business Model

The 80/20 analysis can help you to isolate customer segments where you are making higher profits and where you are less cost effective.

Spot the few places in your business model where you are making great surpluses – be that a product, a market, a customer type, a distribution channel, a country, a type of transaction – and maximize them. Identify the places where you are loosing money and get out.
