People
Who are you going after?
• Slice up your audience into segments: Age, geography, opinion, psychographics• Organizing who can help:
• Client acquisition – revenue creation• Client retention – revenue preservation• Mainstream media – PR play• Industry experts – Referrals/PR Play
• By narrowing your vision of who you are going to target, you will naturally leave out some people…and that is ok.
