Your Perfect Audience in 3 Steps
To move forward, you need to look backward.
Ever wondered how to isolate who your perfect customer, client, or even donor?
A quick Google search will highlight the need for personas, ICPs (ideal customer profiles), and more—all of which are helpful but can feel very complex.
To start, I recommend taking these 3 simple steps to confirm who your perfect audience is.
Review your existing audience
Look through your contracts, database, or donor list to determine who is in your existing business network.Determine who you loved working with and who wasn’t a great fit.
Separate your list into two columns—one where it worked beautifully and another where you’d likely decline to engage again. This isn’t about good or bad people, but about the right fit.Highlight the trends
Take a look at the list of clients and customers you love. What do they have in common? What are your favorite things about them? And, what stands out for the ones you didn’t love?
For me, this looks like partnering with clients who…
Trust me in offering strategic guidance
Understand the value of my services
Are collaborative in their approach
Take ownership of the process and outcomes
