How to Fire Your Customers
Marc Fooksman, 80/20 Expert, explains quadrant analysis, a tool that will transform a business by focusing on what matters most.
Quadrant Analysis is the next step of the 80/20 consulting process. Quadrant analysis is a foundational 80/20 tool that helps our clients create profitable revenue growth, by focusing on what matters most. Quadrant Analysis shows the strategic intersection of customers and products by using four different segmentations.
Quad 1: The Fort - Both customers and products yield 80% of your revenue. High-volume customers are buying high-value products.
Quad 2:Necessary Evil - High-volume customers buying low-volume products.
Quad 3:OK, but could be great - Low-volume customers buying high-volume products.
Quad 4: C.R.A.P - Low-volume customers buying low-volume products. This quad is called C.R.A.P. because you "can't realize a profit" in this quadrant.
When quadrant analysis is used correctly it will do four things.
Keep in mind, segmenting your customers and products into quadrants is just one of the analytical steps of 80/20. Quadrant Analysis is extremely helpful but will not change your business alone.
