Question: You’ve been tasked with helping to research your organization’s buyer persona. Your boss asks you to reach out to a few good and bad customers. Is this the right approach?
- Yes, you should try to interview all types of customers. That way you’ll have a better idea of the ideal buyer you’re trying to market and sell to.
- Yes, interview as many current customers as you possibly can. You should avoid reaching out to prospects since they haven’t used your product/service.
- No, you shouldn’t be interviewing customers. Instead, you should interview ideal customers, prospects, and those that don’t know your organization.
- No, you shouldn’t be reaching out to bad customers. They will skew the buyer persona story since they aren’t your ideal customer.
The right answer was: Yes, you should try to interview all types of customers. That way you’ll have a better idea of the ideal buyer you’re trying to market and sell to.
