Ask the Right Questions
Start out by collecting basic details about your ideal customers. What is their background and education level? What things are most important to them? What do they specifically need and what challenges do they face? The answers to these and other related questions will help you develop profiles of your ideal buyer personas.
Review Your Customer Database
Look carefully through your current and past customer information to uncover trends about them. Review trends such as how they prefer to interact with you, how long it takes for them to make a purchase, and what they typically spend. Also track how much information they needed to review before contacting you. These are important things to know about that can help improve how you acquire customers.
Enlist the Help of Your Sales Team
Ask your sales team for help in collecting information about the common traits of their best leads. Understand what things are important to prospects, including their needs and expectations. Then begin to fill in the gaps to develop the profiles of two or three of your most common buyer personas.
