Hi my name is Charles George, and I’m excited about this radio show and the IGBR network. For almost 20 years, I have helped a wide variety of business owners and entrepreneurs implement profitable direct marketing campaigns. I’ve done offline campaigns involving direct mail and print. Today, I build audiences online and then monetize those audiences by creating engaging content that leads prospects throughout the customer journey, building profitable email lists, creating offers and writing copy that converts prospects into loyal customers. The objectives of today’s show are to help you identify the characteristics of your best customers. I’m going to first share why understanding your best customers is critical for your growth.

What You Need to Do First you need a customer database or CRM. You can do what I am going to share with you with Quickbooks or other accounting software. Segment your customer database into the top 1%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 50%, 75% 80% of all revenue is generated by the top 20% So by targeting only the top 20% of customers with offers it will give your response rate which is known as lift. Lift – by targeting only the top 20% of our customers, it decreases overall revenue, but increases profit, because we are not targeting the bottom 80% of our customers who are most likely not going to respond. Create products that cater to the different customer levels. You need some low-priced products and you want higher priced products. Travel & experience example Once you know who your customers are then you can go find more people similar to them. The more you know about your customers, the better your offers will be. How you present the offers will resonate with your audience more. Customer Avatar Sheet for your best customers – Remember the reason you want to understand your best customers
