Youve heard a hundred times before how important it is to have a plan for who to market to, an ideal client profile or target audience. In my book, its one of the most crucial things to put in place for attracting clients like crazy, because if you dont know who youre talking to, you wont know what to say. The question you now have to ask yourself is, Have I chosen a viable target audience? meaning, is it actually worthwhile to market to these people? You can have all the focus, drive, good intentions to market to a group of people, but if theyre not easily reached in large numbers and inexpensively, if they dont congregate often or theyre too difficult to locate, its going to make your Client Attraction attempts much more difficult. Here are some questions to ask yourself (be a hard grader): - Can you find them easily?
- Is there a list of these people somewherean association of them, support groups, alliances, for example?
- Are there enough of them? Even if your target audience is small in the grand scheme of the population, there still needs to be a massive number of these people for you to stay in business.
- Do they have a problem worth solving?
- Does this problem hurt enough?
- Do they have the ability to pay for your services?
