Discovering your ideal customers is vital for business success. Identify your best customers, learn more about them, and build a behavioral profile. This will help you align your goals and effectively target profitable customers.
1. Identify your best customers
Define your "best" customers based on desired criteria like sales cycle, CAC, satisfaction, renewals, up-sells, expansions, and referrals. Create a spreadsheet, list ideal customers with relevant metrics and qualities you value. This helps identify customers aligned with goals for long-term profitability.
2. Learn more about your best customers
To understand your customers, conduct interviews to learn about their decisions, problems, and valued features. Use open-ended questions for emotional insights. Analyze CRM and analytics data, including industry, location, size, revenue, funding, and growth trends. Add to the spreadsheet for a comprehensive profile.
3. Build a behavioral profile of your ideal customer
To create an ideal customer profile (ICP), analyze data for patterns and commonalities. Include both hard and soft data in your spreadsheet. Group similar companies, name segments, and identify recurring traits for a good fit. Highlight common traits to define your ideal customer.
Once created, share your ideal customer profile with customer-facing teams. It empowers marketers to attract and retain the best customers, helps prospecting with list building and engagement, and provides selling teams with a deep understanding of pain points and goals. The profile unifies teams and showcases your solution as the perfect fit prospects have been searching for.
