The 80-20 Rule in Business
The 80-20 rule has found applications in business management. For business sales, 20% of a company’s customers are responsible for 80% of the sales. Also, 20% of the employees are responsible for 80% of the results. For project management, many managers have noted the first 20% of the effort put in on a project yields 80% of the project’s results.

Why it matters today?
As humans we make assumptions, and one of those is that all causes have the same significance, more or less. We assume every bit of business, every product, every lead is as good as the next.
