Chinese business site uses Chinese math

Filed under: Sales — thatsoftwareguy @ 5:13 am

So few things are as annoyingly hopeless as the practice of using Chinese math. You know – the idea that “if you can only get 0.00001% of the population, you’ll be a success.” Here’s the problem with Chinese math: it doesn’t work. Small percentages do not translate to easy results.

So why are Chinese business websites using this discredited form of reasoning?

PS> If you’re thinking, “if Chinese math doesn’t work, what does?” then here’s your answer. Don’t use comparative figures aspirationally; instead, show trends and figures from ideas that already work that demonstrate how your parallel idea is plausable.
