Setting Goals to Hit the Right Target

When you are setting your annual goals, it is possible to define and narrow your market. Why would you need to check your target market? It is easier to target an established target market since they are able to be found in groups. The process of identifying groups of leads makes a better way to use your time rather than hunting for each one at a time.

Determining your market’s target is simply finding the people who are most likely to require your services. You can categorize people according to age, income, and profession, as well as location or other characteristics and psychological factors (mindsets).

If you’ve defined clearly the target audience of your solution, it’s easy for them to locate your answer. If you are able to focus on one issue and a solution that is suited to certain people, it’s simpler to design marketing materials.

It is possible to speak their language and entice them instead of chasing after them. They believe that you are communicating directly with them, which allows them to raise their hands or say, “Yes, I need your help.”

If you are aware of the market you want to target, and you aren’t wasting time looking for your ideal customers. It’s time to stop trying to get every client you can and start attracting those that match your values.

You have fun working with each other, and your relationship is mutually positive.

Create an “avatar.”

An excellent way to determine your ideal market or client can be to develop a profile or “avatar” to go beyond the basics of demographics like income, gender, and age. You can do this by listing the traits you wish your ideal client to possess.

Take into consideration qualities such as honesty, sincerity, reliability willing to change, flexibility, and a sense of humor.

It is also possible to break it into smaller pieces by breaking down the potential market into segments. This can be done by identifying a subset that has one) particular identifying characteristics, for example, people who want to start their own home-based business, those who have dog issues, or those who are trying to shed some weight; or 2.) issues that you could resolve, such as those who are recovering after breast cancer treatment, those looking to make a change in their career or those in search of their purpose in life.

A copy of you

Another aspect to take into consideration when determining the ideal customer is they’re likely to be a model of yourself… or a form of you from the past who was confronting the same issue that you are now able to resolve.

Perhaps, for instance, you’ve been through a devastating incident in your relationship, and now you’re a coach for others on how to avoid this incident. Perhaps you’ve spent several years figuring out your life goals and now help others find them within a couple of weeks. You may have been taught how to present teleseminars the “hard” way how to deliver teleseminars, and now you are able to teach people to give it in the “easy” way.

The major error solopreneurs make is that they tend to ignore their personal experiences as an aspect of their knowledge. They think, “Why would anyone care about what I’ve done or what I’ve accomplished?” However, the reality is that people turn to an instructor because they connect to their stories. People are drawn to those who have solved problems like the one they face.

Once you have a better understanding of the ideal client, you can tailor your offer specifically to them. The more you understand about your ideal customer, the more likely it is to get them to sign up with you.
