The 6 Elements of an Ideal Customer Profile

With modern analytics and tightly integrated data across distributed systems, customer profile software is becoming increasingly common. But even when using software to deliver customer insights, the first step is understanding what the ideal customer profile looks like. Customer profile data that doesn’t help you sell is no use at all for your business.

  • Businesses today begin and end with data. Customer profiles start with basic information like a customer’s contact details, revenue, product mix, purchase channels, etc.
  • Profiles built from first-party data now need to be enriched with third-party sources. Commence CRM integrates with popular email clients and accounting software for automatic data enrichment.
  • To help sales and business development teams gauge opportunities at a glance, similar customer profiles must be grouped together to create segments that can be targeted together.
  • Design messaging for each segment based on customer profiling and determine channels that each group frequents and how they prefer being reached.
  • Build cross-channel marketing and sales campaigns by integrating customer profiles and segments.
  • Measure your results across profiles and segments and keep a close eye on how customer data in your profiles changes so you can tweak your sales and marketing efforts.

If you want to grow your business by profiling customer data, the 6 elements outlined above are necessary components of your strategy. Move towards automation with Commence Cloud CRM customer profile software features and let us build and bring together the 6 elements in a complete view instantly.

Boost Marketing Efficiency with Customer Data

The better you know your customers, the higher the efficiency of your marketing efforts. Start with studying existing customer profiles, generated automatically within Commence Cloud CRM. Use the insights to create personas of your ideal customers and start creating highly personalized messaging. Based on existing customer profiles, you already know where your ideal customers are, how they prefer to be reached, what they’re looking for, and what they want to hear from you to consider a purchase. This increases the ROI on your marketing campaigns dramatically since you’re reaching out to only the most relevant people, instead of using shotgun advertising methods.

By studying customer profiles closely, you can determine which product features a specific type of customer would be more interested in. Craft your messaging accordingly. Marketing isn’t just for potential customers though; you can market higher-priced products to existing customers too if their profile data shows they can benefit from a premium package. Cross-selling opportunities go hand in hand. If a customer has bought a specific product, you can start marketing products that complement the initial purchase or solve similar problems.
