What you don’t know about your Perfect Client Avatar

OK there’s been written A LOT about perfect client avatars. Ever wondered why? Because it’s so SUPER important to your business!! That’s why. Every business coach or every Marketer can tell you that. But do you get why it’s so important? That’s the question.

And the answer lies in the real world. Look at your clients and then tell me if they resemble the perfect profile you sketched.. in 80% of the cases. If you landed on this blog, I assume you’re not quite there yet. Read below what we’re missing here…

Re-defining the profile?

“Yes, yes, perfect clients…avatars…I’ve already worked that out… I’m already familiar with that…. I know my perfect client.” Is that what you would say to me on this topic, if you had the chance? Well, you wouldn’t be the first! I think that 80% of my clients tell me that. Or at least mumble that, when we start re-defining their perfect client’s profile.

Well-known, little understood

But here’s the thing. The concept of the “Perfect Client Avatar” is well-known, but LITTLE understood! The majority of entrepreneurs THINKS they know about it, but the hard truth is they’re actually sabotaging their success because they’re missing the little nuances and details.

They say they have worked it out already.
They say they know who their perfect client is.
They say they even named their Avatar, so it comes alive.

But at the same time, they’re telling me:

They don’t know what to blog about every week.
They don’t know where to network or go to meet their perfect clients.
They don’t know what the ONE PROBLEM is that their product or services should solve.

Interesting, isn’t it?

Now imagine this…

Picture one of your best friends, your BFF that you spend the most time with.

Would you know what to blog about if you were writing for her?
Would you know where to go when you would look for her on a Saturday afternoon?
Would you know what one problem your magic product should solve for her, if you could make something that would really really change her life?

I BET YOU WOULD!!

And that’s the difference between ‘yeah yeah I know my avatar’ and really KNOWING who he/she really is.

Got my point?

Make your Marketing work

So, listen carefully. If you want to make your Marketing work: Start refining and honing your Perfect Client’s Profile. Research it as if your life depends on it (really!). And put it ON PAPER. You will be amazed by the clarity you’ll get by doing that alone. And I promise you this will make a world of difference in your results.
