It’s not enough to just have a great product or service offer, as much as you may wish that were the case. For your marketing efforts to be both strategic and successful, it’s important to understand the mindsets of both your leads and yourself.

Let’s play a game of pretend for a moment. You just got a new job (congratulations!). You’re responsible for selling winter jackets to the residents of Aruba or ice to individuals in Alaska. Which would you choose?

If neither sounds good to you, that’s because those two groups don’t have a need for what you’re trying to sell. And no need means a difficult, if not impossible, sale. A good marketing strategy can’t rely on basic ideal client avatar research, such as demographics, economics, or geographic locations. Learning about your audience’s mindset is vital to crafting messaging that speaks to the heart of your lead’s needs. What do you know about their psychographics, stage of life, or personal values? Have you done any voice of customer research…and if so, how old is that research now?

But understanding mindsets isn’t just about your leads, it’s also about understanding your own mindset as an individual and as a representative of your business. Think about how you feel about sales and marketing. Do you get anxiety about putting offers out there or seeking out visibility opportunities? How do you feel if a hot lead chooses not to buy or ghosts you when you thought the deal was all but complete? Are you confident with your marketing assets, such as your website, emails, and lead magnets?

By understanding your own mindset, you can be more strategic in your marketing efforts and create messaging that truly resonates with your target audience. And by understanding your leads, you can serve them better.

In this episode of the Talk Copy to Me podcast, coach Linda Perry and I cover all things mindset and more.
