#80/20Rule | #LearnCRM | #ZohoCRM | #ActCRM – Professional CRM Training from AspenTech
We’ve all heard some variation of the famous 80/20 rule:
- That 20% of the people in any given group do 80% of the work.
- That 80% of your revenue are due to 20% of your customers.
- That you’ll meet 80% of your financial goals with 20% of your expenditures.
- And so on…
But did you know that 80% of any new material will be learned in the first 20% of a person’s learning time?
What does that mean? It means two things: 1) That people will learn most of what they need to know to do a good-enough job fairly quickly; and 2) In order to obtain mastery, people need to spend a lot more time acquiring those other 20% of skills that will set them apart from most everyone else, and will generate the biggest impact on your company.

In any business, you want to reach 100% of your goals. While 80% effectiveness on the basics may be ok, you truly want and expect more for your business and for the people who work for you. This includes creating a CRM system and environment that helps your team obtain this goal.
How does this apply to learning and teaching CRM systems with AspenTech?
Because your team will have learned 80% of their CRM knowledge in the first 20% of their learning time, they may want to coast once they’ve hit that point. Obviously, it’s a good feeling to learn things quickly. But it can make mastering a subject more difficult. If you’ve already reached 80% mastery in 20% of the time, what is the motivation to spend the next 80% of your learning environment focusing on the 20% you still haven’t learned?
Why 80% Is Good…But Not Good Enough
Imagine a sales professional in your organization who is operating at an 80% effective call back rate or only giving 80% of their talent during sales. How effective would this be for your organization? Or what if your support team were only responding to 80% of the support inquiries?
