GOLDEN GOLDFISH
![Page 2: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The setting is Paris 1848. A boy is born of an exiled noble Genoese family.
![Page 3: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
His father, Raffaele was an Italian civil engineer who had fled Italy like other Italian nationalists. His mother, Marie was French. Enthusiastic about the German revolution that year, Raffaele and Marie named their son Fritz Wilfried.
![Page 4: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Fritz would become Vilfredo Federico upon his family’s move back to Italy at age 10. He would grow up to become an engineer, sociologist, economist, political scientist, and philosopher. During his life he would make several important contributions to the field of economics.
![Page 5: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Partly because of his work, the field of economics evolved from a branch of moral philosophy, as practiced by Adam Smith, into a data intensive field. Vilfredo is credited with helping to develop the field of microeconomics and was also the first to discover that income follows a distribution.
![Page 6: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Over a century ago Vilfredo would stumble across an idea that would change the course of history. This revelation would come from a simple observation in his vegetable garden. Vilfredo noticed something peculiar about his pea pods.
![Page 7: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
This insight turned into action. He decided to pluck all of the pods off the plant. He opened each and made an interesting discovery. Vilfredo found that 80% of his peas came from a mere 20% of his pods. This intrigued the 59 year-old Italian economist.
![Page 8: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Soon he was applying this ratio to other socioeconomic scenarios. You may now recognize his last name. His full name was Vilfredo Federico Damaso Pareto and his most famous finding was that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by just 20% of the people.
![Page 9: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Pareto’s discovery and contribution was largely unheralded until two decades after
his death. During World War II, social scientist Dr. Joseph Juran uncovered his
work while streamlining shipment processes for the Lend-Lease
Administration.
![Page 10: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“The law of the vital few… and the trivial many.”
�
Juran was the first to coin the phrases, “Pareto’s Law of Unequal Distribution”
and the “80/20 rule”
![Page 11: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Of all the applications of Pareto’s law, here’s three of the most important in the context of the Golden Goldfish: 80% of your profits come from 20% of your customers 80% of a company’s sales are made by 20% of its sales staff 80% of new business comes from 20% of your existing customer base

GOLDEN GOLDFISH LESSON:
![Page 13: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
You don’t treat every customer and employee the same…
GOLDEN GOLDFISH LESSON:
![Page 14: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A Cheesy Case Study:
Authors Yoon, Carlotti and Moore bring Pareto to life with Kraft’s Velveeta cheese.
![Page 15: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
In 2012, sales of Velveeta cheese were
on a downward trajectory
![Page 16: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What to do… Get lapsed consumers to buy Velveeta again? Get occasional purchasers to buy more frequently?
![Page 17: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
INSIGHT: The top 10% of Velveeta buyers account for over 50% of profit. Kraft decided to focused on this key segment of 2.4 million consumers
“The previous thinking was that the
quickest, easiest path to growth was to identify light users or lapsed users.
But when we talked to superconsumers, we learned that in
fact they wanted to use Velveeta more—they were starving for it.”
- Greg Gallagher, Marketing Director
![Page 18: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Velveeta Extensions $100 MM
The results are anything but cheesy. New product spin-offs totaling over $100 million in
additional sales has been game changing.

Do more for your best ones. In the words of Yoon, Carlotti, and Moore:

WHY GOLD AND WHY A GOLDFISH?
![Page 21: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
WHY GOLD?
![Page 22: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
WHY GOLD? Gold is an ode to New Orleans. Specifically a tribute to its most famous event…
![Page 23: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Gold is one of three official Mardi Gras colors
with Purple and Green

The “additional gift”or “to give more”
LAGNIAPPE It’s an ode to New Orleans because of one word…
Mark Twain came to appreciate this one word and its meaning during his time in New
Orleans. He wrote that it was “a word worth traveling to New Orleans to get.”
![Page 25: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
That one word is…

WHY A GOLDFISH?
![Page 28: Golden Goldfish - Taking Care of Your Most Important Customer and Employees](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020410/5885cf2e1a28ab42028b616f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Goldfish represents something small, but it was directly inspired Kimpton Hotels. A chain of boutique hotels, Kimpton embodies the doing the little something extra. Stay at any of the Kimpton properties and you’ll find:
• free gourmet coffee and fresh fruit in the lobby • complimentary wine tasting in the afternoon • pet-friendly accommodations
My favorite perk is something a select number of the properties do for guests. Perhaps you are staying at a Kimpton for a few days, and you are getting lonely…

GIVE A LITTLE UNEXPECTED EXTRA
Guppy Love
Kimpton will give you a pet goldfish for your stay. They call it “Guppy Love.”

Average Goldfish = 3 inches
A goldfish also represents something small. But all goldfish are not created equal.
The world’s largest is…

Nearly 20 inches or 50 centimeters
That’s nearly six times larger! How can there be such a difference. It turns out the growth of a goldfish is determined by five factors. The growth of your business is also affected by the same five things.
