Ever since I’ve been in business I’ve asked business people I meet, “Who is your ideal prospect?” Almost without hesitation, they reply, “Anybody!“ When they see the scowl cross my face, they amend their answer to, “Anybody with money!“
And of course that answer is wrong! They should describe to me in as much detail as possible the demographic (how they stack up) and psychographic (how they think) make up of the person they would like to walk through their door itching to buy.
Work less, charge more and have your customers loving it!
