Ideal Client Personas
We begin our conversation with how Dr. Paula defines target marketing and ideal personas. She told us which questions to ask yourself when starting a business about who you want to serve with your product or service. She also cautioned that terms like ‘target market’ and ‘ideal persona’ risk overlooking the individuality of the people you’re trying to serve.
Next, Dr. Paula explained why understanding your ideal client personas is so important to sales and business success. She told us that by not niching down to the people you’re most suited to serve, you’re wasting precious time and resources reaching out to people who don’t identify with or need your solutions.
Knowing all this, finding your way to your target market can still be difficult. Dr. Paula offered advice on how to connect with and stand out to your ideal clients by using the media you’re most comfortable with.
We ended our conversation by discussing how women can quickly and effectively attract their ideal clients. Reaching out to other people in your field can be a good start, but make sure to vet the people and show hosts you’re considering collaborating with. Also, don’t forget that Win Win Women might be a good fit for putting yourself in front of your target market.
