That's a great point, which is that just a couple library contacts can get you on your way. And so, if people were told at the beginning of their taxi membership that a lot of members have succeeded in the business and the 80/20 rule has been true for them, it might be more encouraging for new members to get through the discouraging part of not hearing back from so many forwards.mattbee wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 9:12 pmThe 80/20 thing has so far been the most disheartening part of Taxi for me (among the MANY benefits). I've been a Taxi member on and off for years, in the last year have had maybe 5-6 forwards, but nil contact from libraries. I think the suggestion about an automated email would be great, but I can already hear Michael's voice saying the libraries are simply too busy to get back to everybody/send a response to Taxi for each track. Like you, it does sound like even people who have had many forwards often have a similar ratio, although that said, sometimes all you need is a couple of good library deals to set you on your way.
I'm curious... had you heard of the 80/20 thing before? Had it been mentioned on a taxi tv? Or is it just something that you noticed also for yourself?
