Sometimes it takes one to sit down and look at what you are offering, looking around at who you think would be perfect for your product or service and really understanding your customer. This is especially true if you are in a very competitive environment, in order the get the maximum for your business, you need to know why your customers purchased from you, and what makes you a bit different from your competitors. Once you know this ‘one thing’ it will be much easier for you to tailor really strong, consistent marketing messages and therefore achieve your potential.
It takes time to understand how to offer a product or service that attracts and retains the right people. You need to discover exactly (or as exact as you can possibly make it) who your customers are. Without this it is impossible to tailor your product or service to their needs. We all have different types of clients that buy from us. A useful exercise is to grade them into 4 levels, say A,B,C,D. Your goal then is to ‘get rid’ of the D customers, these are the ones that don’t really fit your customer profile, and recruit some more ‘A’ customers who are exactly the right kind of client for your business.
If you do this exercise, you’ll get into the process of permanently identifying and marketing to the ‘right profile client’ for you, you might find that every 3-4 years your clint list changes, thats OK as your business grows and your understanding of whats achievable grows.
