N2  - Research verifies that the 80/20 rule summarizes the stable relationship of inputs to outputs-- including the impact of customers on the profit of a business. According to this universal law, a business can predict that the most profitable 20% of its customers generates 80% of its profit from customers and that customers in this top market segment are 16 times more profitable than customers in the bottom market segment. Thus when a business replaces all customers in the bottom market segment with new customers in the top market segment, the business can expect to quadruple its profit from customers
