Who Is Your Ideal Customer - Building a Customer Avatar to Drive More Leads Do you know who your ideal customer is? Most entrepreneurs would say my products or services are for everyone but that can be a very costly and dangerous decision. Why? A customer who isn't your ideal customer can exhaust your time and resources, and even cost you more than what you would have gained. This workshop will focus on identifying who your ideal customers are, their buying behaviours, pain points and interest. This level of insight will help you understand your customers and it will help you create marketing strategies that will resonate to them, which can drive higher conversion rates. By understanding what your customers want, you can also develop and improve products or services in an effective way. RSVP Today! Kind regards, Julia Afdasta Life & Business Coach | Director E: julia@cwmg.co M: 07575884080 www.cwmg.co

Hello! Are you serious about executing your marketing plan consistently? I am. Although, to be honest I have really struggled to stick to my marketing plans. I tend to go for the "go big or go home" approach and then end up being overwhelmed and doing little or nothing. A solid marketing habit is the only thing between my current situation and an incredible lifestyle business. Tiny consistent actions every day is the way forward. If you find yourself in a similar situation jump on the video call every week day at 1pm - it's just 30 minutes. We will share goals, obstacles, strategies and provide accountability. Above all we will keep things tiny.
