Imagine you are the owner of a small, entrepreneurial start-up. You feel stretched to the snapping point by the demands of your various customers. Trying to keep everyone happy, you have never really prioritized your customer relationships. Apply Pareto's Law to the following dataset of your customers. Which customers are your "A," "B," and "C" customers? Why did you decide to draw the dividing lines where you did? Under what circumstances would you consider promoting a "C" customer to a higher classification? Why might you demote an "A" customer to a lower classification?
