Create Your PersonaAsk QuestionsGather Information Define Goals
Buyer personas are semi-fictional representations of your ideal customer based on market research and hard data. By understanding what your personas are trying to achieve, you can create the kind of content that will help the real-life target audience your personas represent reach their goals and solve their challenges. This in turn will help you convert them into leads and close them as customers.
STEP ONE: GATHER INFORMATION
First start by gathering demographic information for your persona. This can include their income,
occupation, interests, gender, level of education, and where they live. This information can be based o� of
trends found in your contact database or through interviews/surveys with customers and prospects.
STEP TWO: DEFINE GOALS
What is it that you are trying to achieve? How can we help you face these challenges? What types of material
can we provide to get you to your end goal?
