Last week the main idea that was rolling around in my head was about customers – and how to find that ONE ideal customer. You know, the one that is perfect for you and you for them. I shared a few tips related to that idea:

  • You should have specific strategies targeted toward how to earn (and keep) your ONE ideal customer’s loyalty.
  • Consider all the points at which you touch that ONE ideal customer – and how you can make them smoother, easier.
    Make sure your team understands the problems of your ideal customer – and how YOUR products/services can solve them.
  • Invest the time to clearly envision the characteristics of your ONE ideal customer.
  • Focus all aspects of your business around serving the needs/solving the problems of your ONE ideal customer.

As you can tell, I kept thinking about how important it is to know what that ideal customer looks like and then figure out how to attract and keep them. I wrote about it in more depth my blog post, Attracting That ONE Ideal Customer. I’d love to hear what you think!
