Ideal Client Worksheet Instructions

When you are filling out this form it is important to get yourself in the mindset of your ideal client.  Put yourself in the frame of mind that they would be in when they are looking for a solution to a problem that you might have a solution for. Your clients are looking to solve problems - they are not looking for features a the beginning of the customer journey.

In this case, focused on the problem that they are trying to solve, what is the major factor that is important to them now.  For example - assume you are a personal trainer one clients, might be looking to look better - another looking to become healthy - still, another looking to not be seen as a ninety-eight-pound weakling.  All three might be ideal clients but each one of these has different factors that are important.  Your ninety-eight-pound weakling might be afraid of being beaten up by bullies.  The person looking to lose weight might want to fit into a dress or suit for a wedding.

Success speaks to the benefits of working with you as you build out your marketing plan.  Your welterweight client might be seen as strong and virile.  Your weight loss clients seen as handsome or pretty.

Make this personal - you want to speak to a person, not a robot.  If you need help thinking about this form use the ten things you need to know about your ideal client to help you.
