It’s said that about 20 percent of your customers produce 80 percent of your sales. It’s called the 80/20 rule. If you’re responsible for sales at your company, you better get to know it.
Why? Because that 20 percent is where you’ll get the biggest bang for your sales and marketing buck, says Perry Marshall, president of Perry S. Marshall & Associates, a Chicago-based company that consults both online and brick-and-mortar companies on generating sales leads, web traffic and maximizing advertising results. Marshall is also the author of five books including 80/20 Sales and Marketing and Ultimate Guide to Google Adwords, both from Entrepreneur Press.
In this Google Hangout, Marshall talks in detail about the 80/20 rule and how business owners can leverage it for everything from finding customers, engaging them and selling a ton — both in-person and online.
