Copywriting Tools Reveal Your Best Customer
Play along with this fun game to see your best customer revealed.
Imagine you’re standing in the airport pickup lobby – with all the drivers and chauffeurs.
Each holds up their sign, naming the passenger they are there to pick up.
A very specific WHO which they are looking to give transportation to.
You now, are there to pick up, or attract your best customer.
Quickly, what is printed on the sign you are holding up?
End of Game.
Did you struggle with that?
If so, you’re not alone.
You’re in the group of millions of other copywriters, entrepeneurs and businesses likely wasting $80 of every $100 spent on advertising and marketing. Or an equivalent dollar amount – in wasted time.
The 80/20 Rule is always in play.
Also known as the Pareto Principle, which dictates that:.
80% of your results (sales, leads, etc) will come from the 20% of your marketing efforts that actually hit the mark. The few people for whom your message hits home. The small group of folks who say, “Hey, they’re talking to me. It’s like they know me!”.
Our best results come, and are most efficiently found, when we target market like a sniper to that small, predetermined 20% that buy – from the get-go. Rather than shotgunning some generic ad to the masses and hoping something hits, at least someone.
I’ve found…
Why Most Marketing Fails
Many businesses and entrepeneurs, by conscious choice, refuse to “limit their opportunities” by picking any one particular who, or target. They insist their product or service is for everyone. Consequently, their marketing and advertising invites everyone to buy!
Yet the age-old Russian proverb advises: “Chase two rabbits, and you’ll catch neither.”
Most who attempt marketing to the masses, soon find they haven’t enough money to reach everyone. Then, anyone. Because they quickly run out of money. 80% of which was wasted.
Coca-Cola has enough money. Pepsico too. Geico does. They can afford to waste millions of dollars on ads to everyone because they are so well established and profitable already. They are playing a MAINTAIN marketshare game – with billions of extra dollars in the bank to play with.
Most small business and entrepeneurs are playing an entirely different game, yet copying the marketing tactics they see the big boys using.
Small businesses and entrepeneurs are actually playing the GET marketshare game – and playing it with very conservative marketing budgets. Few have the resources required to effectively chase more than one rabbit at a time.
Our marketing dollars go infinitely farther, and often return with friends, once we begin to target and market specifically, and only, to our best customers. The 20%.
Knowing this…
Let’s imagine our best customer.
What name will you write on your sign now?
Who is your best customer?
Or, WHO would BE your best customer?
Ideally you know (or knew) this BEFORE your product or service was ever created. It’s always a mistake to spend one’s time and money creating a great wiz-bang thing, then trying find someone who needs it.
Better you looked for THIS PERSON’S PROBLEM – then devised, or found a solution to offer them specifically.
You solve a problem, or fill a need or desire for some particular person. A person who has many others like him (or her) out there in the world who could also benefit from buying your ‘stuff’. This gives you the ability to add scale to your business.

One seasoned marketing veteran sent me this message…
Bob,
“I used your POP/tool kit to define my copywriter’s avatar, believe it or not, your shit works. HA!” – GJA
See if I’m right. Or he’s right.
At least try it to see if YOU were right about WHO your best customer is and what they really want.
You might just be surprised.

P.S. The toolkit puts into simple visual and template format, the same techniques I, and other smart marketers have been using for years to sell books, gemstones, coaching and other services – in addition to persuading a whole bunch of folks to do the things that we need done. Including businesses and various government agencies who are notorious for having a “policy” of not doing the very things we do get them to do! With the right toolkit, you can be more persuasive too!
