Who Is Not A Good Customer?

A good customer advice

By identifying who you don’t want as a customer, it is great way to identify what would make a good customer. Think back to previous customers who have caused problems, whether that is how the customer communicates with you. It could be if they are unable to use the systems your product uses.

 

To get the most out of this exercise go in depth about the reasons behind why you do not want that type of customer. For example…

What does your ideal customer want?

How does the product or service you provide help them achieve what they want, do they want to lose weight and your product helps them do that. Do they want to buy a house?

 

What is the end goal of the customer when they buy from you? The person who buys a drill doesn’t want a drill, they want a shelf, they need the drill to make the holes in the wall to put up the shelf.

What is your current target market?

You can be general with the description, for example 35-40 men who are have recently purchased a motorbike and need to update their life insurance policy. The purpose of this question is to get you in a ball park area for your ideal customer.

Get specific

Once you have a rough idea of the type of person your customer is, now you need to get more specific. This is where you take that group of people and start to single out individuals that your product or service will be perfect for.

For example; 27 female with an established career but not a high wage, looking to get on to the property ladder with limited savings, current pays finance on a mid-range executive car (BMW or Mercedes). Appearance means a lot to her, and she spends a lot of time on Instagram, looking at luxury items and holidays.

You are wanting to create an image of their life and mindset, once you have this you can then start to understand how best to approach them with a conversation about your product or service. Asking Mum who is on the school run if they have 10 minutes to fill out a survey isn’t a good idea. But asking them at 10:30 when they have go home and sat down with a cup of tea will get a better response.
