Creating A Target Customer Profile in 3 Easy Steps

One of the biggest mistakes many salespeople make is never getting around to developing a clear target customer profile. Instead, they try to talk to everyone, which often results in a message that resonates with nobody. Without a defined target, it’s easy to waste time and resources on audiences that may not be interested in what you have to offer.

Thankfully, in today’s world of AI, creating a target customer profile has never been easier. In fact, you can do it in less than two minutes with three simple steps using Chat GPT. By following this prompt sequence, you’ll be able to identify your ideal customers and tailor your messaging to speak directly to their needs.

Step 1: Identify the Problems

In business, people exchange money to solve problems. Understanding the specific problems that your product or service addresses allows you to reverse engineer the situations that make your phone ring.

Prompt: "What are 5 problems that would cause someone to consider purchasing [your product or service]?"

This step is crucial because identifying these problems in advance gives you insight into the pain points that actually drive the buying decisions. It’s the foundation of creating a message that truly resonates with your audience.

Step 2: Identify the Audience

Once you’ve identified the key problems, the next step is to figure out which audiences are most likely to experience them. By understanding who is dealing with these issues, you can create content and messaging that speaks directly to their needs and desires.

Prompt: "Give me an audience that is most likely to experience each of the problems listed above."

This step ensures that your marketing efforts are targeted, efficient, and more likely to convert. When you know exactly who you’re talking to, you can craft a message that hits home.

Step 3: Organize the Data

Finally, to make this information actionable, you need to organize it in a clear and simple format.

Prompt: "Take the above two threads and put them into a table format."

The end result is a straightforward data table with five different target markets. This table provides a clear overview of the problems each audience faces and helps you focus your marketing efforts on the most promising segments.

The End Result

Creating a target customer profile doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. With AI tools like Chat GPT, you can develop a clear and concise target market in less than 2 minutes. Don’t fall into the trap of trying to talk to everyone. Instead, focus your efforts on those who are most likely to benefit from what you offer. With a well-defined target customer profile, your marketing will be more effective, your message will be more compelling, and your sales will be more consistent.
