THE INBOUND JOURNEY
BUYER PERSONAS
Success in inbound marketing depends on being
relevant.
Relevant to your customer, their challenge and their journey.
The buyer persona help keep things relevant.
What is abuyer persona?
Your ideal or desired customerSemi-fictional representations based on real data and educated guesses about where they are, how they act, and what motivates them.
Why do we need personas?Why don’t we just use descriptions
of our target markets?
Well, it’s hard to speak to statistics.
We all want to be spoken to. Not at. Your audience needs to feel that you know them.
Imagine that you approach these people, face-to-face. What would you actually say to them?
How would you talk to them?
Personas help us create content for real people.And that’s exactly what your customers are.
How to create buyer personas
Tips for developing Buyer Personas
Details matter.Take a thorough look at everything you know about your ideal/desired customers.You don’t have to have an answer for every question. Start with what you have and go from there.Personas don’t ever have to be “done”. Tweak and iterate as you progress.
Step 1: ResearchIdentify questions.
Start gathering information.
BUYER PERSONA
PERSONA DETAIL QUESTIONS TO ASK
Role What is their job role/role in life? Their title? How is their job/role measured?What does a typical day look like?What skills do they require? What knowledge and tools do they use? Who do they report to? Who reports to them?
Company/Organization Which industries do their companies work in?What is the size of their company/organization (revenue, employees)?
Goals What are they responsible for?What does it mean to be successful in their role?
Challenges What are their biggest challenges?
Watering Holes How do they learn about new information for their job? What publications or blogs do they read?What associations and social networks do they belong to?
Personal Background Age, Family (married, children), education
Buying Preferences How do they prefer to interact with vendors (email, phone, in person)?How do they search for information? What sources do they trust?
One size doesn’t fit allTailor your questions to your organisation and industry. Use the questions in our checklist as a guide to get started.
