Applying the Pareto Principle to Customers

*this blog post contains notes on Alex Hormozi's The Game podcast, ep. 478

Pareto Principle:

The Pareto principle states that for many outcomes, roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes (the "vital few")

Alex tells the story of attending a business award ceremony where an executive from a PE firm, Vista, describes how to apply they applied the Pareto Principle to buy and 3x businesses within 3 years.

The Process:

  • Survey customers across a wide range of attributes
  • Sort by the top 20% in terms of LTV
  • Find common attributes
  • Use these attributes to target and filter new customers

Additional Tools:

  • In the survey, capture conversion data
  • Use the conversion data from the top 20% to revamp your conversion process

Alex shared that he compared his business to a similar business and found that, while they severed the same number of customers, their LTV/customer was 70x higer.
