Your Ideal Client is Just Two Minutes Away | THE SLOGANATOR

How can you find your ideal client? How many times have you wasted valuable time and energy with suspects, not prospects? Most of us have spent time with people who are not our ideal client. Unfortunately, we don’t find that out until we have spent way too much time with an individual only to learn that the person we have spent time with either does not need or want our product or service, cannot afford it, is not at the right time in their business to need your product or service or the person you are spending time with is not the decision maker. So how do you spend your time? Are you talking with prospects or are you spending time with suspects? If you are spending too much time with the wrong people and your business is not growing, you can change this simply by knowing who your ideal client or customer is and then creating your elevator pitch, marketing materials and networking plan with this in mind. My rule is “the smaller the niche, the more you get rich”.

Here are a few tips to help get your started:

Make a comprehensive list of the characteristics of your ideal client or best client. Be specific and imagine that this person has a name and you know where they live. What are the age, sex, income level and general background of your ideal client and customer? What are their hobbies and interests? Where do they live?

What is the problem that keeps your ideal client or customer up at night?

What are the most important things to your ideal client or customer? This would include things like price, quality, recommendations, service, guarantees etc.

If you need information, check out quantcast.com if the type of data that this site provides would be helpful.

Use Alexa.com to search out your competitor’s websites to learn who their audience demographics are. Once you have identified this, you can find forums related to your niche and identify the top issues and concerns of your target market. Use this information to identify your ideal client.

Identify the groups that your ideal client belongs to on LinkedIn and get involved in discussions.

Now that you have a few tips to get you started, make the most of your networking time by being where your ideal client or customer is likely to be. If you know what association meetings, networking groups, service organizations or social events that your ideal client is likely to attend, then make it a priority to be there as well. Showing up and being prepared is just as important as knowing who your ideal customer or client is. Take the time to identify who your ideal client is and you will spend less time with suspects and more time with qualified prospects.

This is the “ideal” way to get more business with less effort. You next customer or client is just two minutes away.
