TRP 138: How to Identify Your Ideal Client, and Why with John Kormanik


Listen Later

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, host Scott Love speaks with John Kormanik, former trial attorney and professional coach, about how legal professionals and service providers can identify their ideal clients. John explains that without a clearly defined target audience, professionals risk diluting their marketing efforts and attracting the wrong clients. He emphasizes that knowing exactly who you want to serve allows for more intentional business development and greater career satisfaction.

Key topics include the three core elements of defining an ideal client—geography, demographics, and psychographics—and how professionals can use this framework to refine their outreach. John discusses how identifying a client "avatar" helps create more focused networking opportunities and strategic business decisions. He also shares insights on overcoming the scarcity mindset, setting boundaries to work only with ideal clients, and structuring client engagement for long-term success. Whether you're a lawyer, consultant, or business owner, this episode provides actionable steps to help professionals attract the right clients and build a thriving practice.
