B2B Ideal Client Profiling

Why is understanding your ideal B2B client essential?

We all know who our clients are. Or at least that is something we truly believe.

Some of us are spending thousands on marketing and sales, wondering why our tactics don't work. Retracing our steps can lead us to the core of the problem.

It's time for some honesty! Do we address and reach our ideal clients, or are we shooting in the dark? Even if you know your target, with time they evolve, and so do their needs. So, it's time for re-evaluation. Only by defining your ideal clients you can truly understand them and figure out whether your solution can actually help. You'll have a clear picture of the types of companies you'll best serve, their problems and relevant insights on the people who work there.

You don't have to spend another second or dollar on irrelevant prospects!

What do our students have to say?

Throughout the duration of this course I have gained a lot of knowledge and practical strategies that will be beneficial to me and my business. Hat off to you Dancho! You have helped me understand my business’ strengths and weaknesses and how to use that to get the ideal leads for me.

I must say incredibly insightful course! If you want to dive further into the world of leads and ICP then look no further. Dancho’s expertise will guide you in the best way possible!

I found the course interesting, challenging and most of all, valuable! My knowledge about ICP has increased tremendously. Thank you for making the course so enjoyable! It exceeded my expectations.

After taking this ICP course you can:

1. Enrich your solution

You don't need to launch new solution functionalities on a hunch. Getting to know your ideal clients and their needs enables you to add the right features or services. You don't want to spend hours developing offers that no one cares about.

2. Laser focus your marketing

Understanding your ICP's issues and how to solve them provides you with a solid marketing basis. Focus your marketing activities, minimise wastage and talk directly to your target.

3. Tailor your sales process

The one-size-fits-all approach rarely works in sales. Knowing your target and anticipating their needs, you can customise your solution to fit like a glove. Maximise your sales conversion rate with minimum effort.

The 4-step ICP framework

1. Start reflecting on your business

Digging deep into your existing business can help you better shape your ideal client profile. We'll define your business type, your value offering and analyse your current and past clients.

2. Stay open to new opportunities

Get hold of a different market perspective of the industry, business segments, competition, and learn how to interpret that data.

3. Define your ICP

Using the insights you'll gain, you should be able to define your ICP. You'll establish the industry, company firmographics (size, location, etc.), and the specific positions you should target within these companies.

4. Perfect your conversation starters

Being aware of your ICP is not enough. Put this knowledge into practice. Understanding your potential clients' problems, desires, aspirations, needs, means you can serve them better. And can give you the boost in starting some meaningful win-win conversation.
