The Practice Playbook Podcast with Susan Guthrie

Understanding Your Perfect Client: The Key to a Thriving Practice with Susan Guthrie on The Practice Playbook Podcast #544


Listen Later

Susan Guthrie welcomes you back to The Practice Playbook Podcast with a focus on one of the most important shifts you can make in your business: moving from chasing clients to attracting your perfect clients.

When you’re chasing, you’re hustling, discounting, and saying yes to everyone. It keeps you stuck in scarcity and often leads to burnout. Attracting, on the other hand, is about clarity, alignment, and building a practice that feels lighter, more intentional, and more successful.

In this episode, Susan lays out the step-by-step process to help you research, define, and validate your perfect client profile and then put that information to work so that the right people naturally find you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode
  • Why chasing doesn’t work long-term and how it keeps you in scarcity
  • How to define your perfect client using both demographics and psychographics
  • The key questions to ask yourself: Who brings out my best work? Who leaves me fulfilled? Who values what I bring?
  • Practical tools for validating your perfect client profile through market research, from AI prompts to social listening to direct conversations
  • Ways to put your research into action by refining your messaging, shaping your offers, and positioning yourself where your perfect clients already are
