The 80/20 rule

Cindy works in an expensive designer clothes shop in central London, and she 

¹

 

look good every day – it's important for her to make a good impression.

'I 

²

 

look badly-dressed,' she says. 'In my shop, the shop assistants 

³

 

wear smart clothes and look clean and tidy, and they 

⁴

 

just stand there and look miserable. After all, people are coming into the shop to buy fashionable new clothes, so they don't want to see someone looking bored, untidy and unfashionable! They 

⁵

⁶

 

think about the 80/20 rule. It's an important rule in shop sales. It says that 20% of the customers that come into your shop regularly make 80% of the purchases. So, when regular customers come in, we

say anything that sounds like we're trying to persuade somebody to buy something they don't want. Every customer hates that! But we 

¹⁰

 

offer good advice. It's important that customers think that we know about the clothes we're selling.'
