So it’s another Monday in the office, you just sat down in your office chair, setting your steaming cup of coffee on the table, powered up your PC, and decided to check on your prospects. As you try to scour through names, emails, and numbers, you begin to realize that you don’t have a clue as to who your customers are or how to approach them.

Playing the assumption game is dangerous when you’re trying to sell to your customers. At the same time, assuming that all of your leads and prospects need and want your product is like expecting to see rain in the middle of a drought.

For your business to properly market, sell, and offer support to your customers, you need to understand the people that you’re selling to and really get to know them. You can do this successfully by building out customer profiles and developing an internal process for creating and auditing said profiles.

Well, what are Customer Profiles anyway?

A customer profile is a detailed description of your target audience. They differ from a buyer persona because customer profiles are not a fictional representation of your customers. These profiles consist of factual and actual information about your prospect’s demographics, their purchasing behaviors, preferences, customer service interactions, and more.

Everything you need to know about a group of customers is captured within this one description.

Customer profiling, on the other hand, is the process of identifying the characteristics of people who are most likely to avail or purchase your product or service and derive a lot of value from it. Along this process, you gather data that includes demographic, geographic, and psychographic characteristics, as well as buying patterns, creditworthiness, and purchase history.

How to create an effective customer profile?

The more refined your customer profile is, the more it can help your company find and attract more people that are likely to purchase your product, build more impressive features, develop stronger relationships with your customers, and put you on a better course for market dominance.

So, what are the steps involved in creating an effective customer profile? Here are 5 necessary steps you need to take in order to create an effective customer profile.
