Today they report 24 more billion in write offs and a thousand people per billion in layoffs.

This is always a challenge when dumbing down products. Some products or services need to be dumbed down for simplicity, but I agree with him to extent that dumbing down a product or service too much encourages dumb buyers or clients and therefore increase your companies time assisting the client with the product or service. You must be stratigic and try to increase the 20% to possibly 30% or 40% without increase customer service charges, low satisfaction in the product, etc. To your point "Insider" as Noel pointed out the 20% is getting smaller too, not just the 80%.

They were weaned out by the fall-out. That said, while it seems like lead management systems are more universally used, they are still under-utilized. It's all in the implementation, I guess.
