Developing buyer personas takes a bit of work, but it’s worth it. The in-depth customer understanding that you’ll achieve will more than offset the time it will take you to conduct the necessary research, interviews and surveys with a sampling of your customers and prospects.
Here’s how you can pull together the information that you’ll need to craft personas for your business:
- Go through your contacts database to see exactly how customers or prospects discover and use your content
- Make sure the forms on your website capture information that’s relevant for your personas (ie. if the number of employees at a prospect’s organization is part of your personas, ask for this information in all forms)
- Talk to sales about the types of leads they are most successful with. Incorporate their feedback into your buyer personas.
- Interview customers and prospects to get feedback on what they like about your company, service or product.
