The FreelanceSwitch Client Analyser

I’m happy to announce today we have a new resource in our resource library, and it’s based on the 80/20 or Pareto Principle. If you don’t know what the 80/20 principle is, you should read my post 80-20 Freelancing for an overview. It’s a simple but extremely effective idea that you can apply to all sorts of things in life.

A couple months ago, Collis asked awesome programmer Chris Hulbert to see if he could make something that let you analyse your clients using the 80/20 principle and together they came up with a Client Analyser tool.

The way it works is that you put in your clients, answer some questions about them and then it lines up the data into tables, showing you where the results are coming from so you can compare and contrast them. The more clients you add, the better it works.

You should note, it’s not meant to be a very serious tool, more just a lightweight look at some of your client list. If you put in the minimum 8 clients and just guess values you can go through in about 10 minutes or so, and longer for more clients and more precision.

So have a play and enjoy our latest resource: Launch the Client Analyser

The next resource which we’ve been working on and which is also almost ready is a document library. Collis tells me it should be ready for release soon.
