These are the people whom you should observe the most. They are the most dangerous lot. You spent most of the time with them thinking they are your close ones, but Hey! Beware….
You might not be knowing behind your back they are the ones who initiate the stories about you. You thinking them to be your friend share with them all your weakness, disappointments and frustrations, they console you but at the back they are the ones busy building stories around it.

Question Mark (Low Relative Market Share, High Profit)
People belonging to this group are the toughest to judge going by the present scenario. They are the ones who are not that close to you but you are very comfortable with them. I really don’t want to bring in the regional bias here but still it is bound to come in some way. From my own life I have seen I have had my most friends who are from my own native, I thought them to be my closest ones. I did make some friends who were from other places but it took me some time to realize that they were actually the ones for whom the proverb “A friend in need is a friend in deed” holds true.
Conclusion: Don’t get swayed too much by their nice behavior for you know people change easily and handle them with care as for the time being they really are your friends.
Stars (High Relative Market Share, High Profit)
As the name of the group suggests people belonging to this group are like the valuable assets that you possess. They are the best friends. They may be 1000 kilometers away from you but still would make it a point to devote their time and effort for you. They are the ones who are going to fight for you and against those spreading rumors behind your back. They are the least member group but still the value that they generate is much more than collectively put together the 3 other groups.
Conclusion: Treat them just like the most valuable asset that you possess. Go out of the way not to lose them.
