3. Customer Differentiation
vs. Product Differentiation
• Research by Professors Cooper and Kaplan at the
Harvard Business School has shown that in a large
number of companies 20 percent of customers
account for 225 percent of profits and the 80 percent
`lose’ 125 percent of profits.
• But the trouble is that most companies do not know
which customers make up the 20 percent and which
make up the 80 percent.
