Creating a Buyer Persona
Creating a sample interview to create your personas will help determine details about this fictional customer. You can then use the information to hone your marketing to match the person's characteristics, which can lead to closing more sales.
Gather or create information such as:
- Gender
- Age
- Income level
- Location
- Employer, title, and job responsibilities
- Likes and dislikes
- Skills
- Goals
- Challenges
Positive and Negative Personas
Be sure to create example personas of ideal clients and customers that might not be a good fit. Knowing the difference between a good client fit and bad client fit will benefit you and the customer. If you have had negative client experiences in the past, reviewing those experiences will help you adjust for the future to improve your procedures.
When creating your own personas, use information from past clients, and don't be afraid to contact and interview some of them for more information to develop these personas. This will help you market to similar clients in the future.
