Frankly, most “persona” profiles just aren’t good enough. Despite your best intentions, none of the discovery techniques that you may have used until now . . . asking internal stakeholders or sales people, conducting surveys and focus groups, or establishing customer advisory groups . . . none of these reveal the buyer’s perspective into motivation, urgency and selection criteria that you will gain through this specialized approach to direct conversations with actual buyers.If you’re one of the marketers who already understands the importance of expertly crafted buyer personas, you may skip to the Buyer Persona Masterclass registration here.
In the Buyer Persona Masterclass, you’ll learn how to become a buyer expert, a marketer who has clarity about the decision-making process your buyers have not yet shared with anyone else – and, in fact, may not even be conscious of themselves!
You’ll see how to communicate your findings through buyer personas that:
- guide differentiated messaging by identifying the points that have the most impact on your buyer’s decisions
- perfect targeting by identifying the buyers who are predisposed to buy your solutions and the reasons that others will be resistant
- inform persuasive marketing content with details about the questions your buyers are asking and which answers will persuade them to trust you
- optimize marketing ROI by telling you when and where your buyers are looking for you, which assets are more persuasive than others and why
- align with the sales people through a shared focus on buyers that you both understand and more . . .
