Welcome back to BizQuik! On today’s episode, Julie talks about the importance of an ICA and just how fun creating one can be! For context, an ICA is a descriptor exercise of all your ideal customers. The more specific an ICA, the more targeted your product and services are, the more revenue will be brought into your company. An ICA helps business owners, entrepreneurs, connect with the community of people who are going to be engaging with your business. ICAs also change over time as your company grows. They are reset and revised as your customer base successfully expands.

Without core values established you should expect cultural issues to occur with your organization, as it is a guide to the fundamental actions and beliefs of your company.

Core values enable action, strengthen company pride, and community.

And most importantly, core values make for a better reputation for your business by increasing customer loyalty and trust.

Themes: Decision-making. Productivity. Positive company culture. Reputation. Innovation.
