    Current Goals

    Stay within their budget
    Bring Product to Market-get Market share- Generate revenue

    Main Pain Point
    They need to hire someone with specialized talent, that will be right fit within their organization, they don’t have this talent in their network
    They are fully aware that messing up your hiring can take you out or set you way behind.

    Current solution
    Expand network
    Try to source it through websites etc.
    Use a recruiter if they have to

    Buying process
    Use recruiters their people know, their investors know, coach knows, etc. They handle the issue to get someone in there.

    Technologies
    LinkedIn and other Social

    Single short paragraph
    Visionary Founder who is on their way UP in the tech world – who needs to hire a specialized person (data scientist, etc), who doesn’t want to mess it up with the wrong person and doesn’t have the right person in their network.

    Are there minor ICPs involved in a typical sale?
    It varies, could be an investor, or a champion from their staff, but typically the founder is in a need.

    NEXT STEPS

    I need to pre-qualify to know if they are in stage 3 or 4. Because sometimes they need to hire like yesterday, other times they are hiring in the near future so its becoming a priority but they have some time. If they are in stage 3, a consolation would be best. From my understanding, leaving them with a strategy for their hiring these key people they need and giving them sage industry advice will help. In stage 4 they can see our testimonials which are rather impressive and establish trust.

    Can you narrow down your ICP further? Remember, this is your “ideal” customer persona.

    They need to hire someone with specialized talent,

    What specific talent? Is there one talent that is easier to book a meeting to discuss than others?

    North America

    Is there a specific part of the US that most of your customers are based?

    Tech Start-Ups

    SaaS? B2C? Hardware?

    Specialized software engineering is #1  we have placed in last year  #2 sales talent (this is what people have been saying the need- however we haven’t place)
    #3 data science   #4 creative/marketing talent

    The answer is the majority of companies are in silicon valley/ San Francisco- workforce is 50% of the case. Washington, DC we did recently.

    SaaS- subscription based products; Data driven products. Anything that relies on data to provide their service.

    To clarify: The answer is the majority of companies are in silicon valley/ San Francisco roughly 75%- workforce is 50% remote only, 50% hybrid to the area regardless of location.

    They are useful elements to add to your ICP.

    RE our call last week – Reverse engineer your current best customers to create your current Ideal Customer Persona.

    We can then look at other potential ICP’s once we have a sales function build for the low hanging fruit.
