ICP is marketing shorthand for "Ideal Customer Profile," which is a detailed description of the perfect customer for a company's product or service. It is more specific than just targeting a general audience. Instead, it focuses on identifying the characteristics of people most likely to benefit from the product and become long-term, loyal customers, which may include the industry the customer belongs to, company size, budget, geographic location, and specific challenges they face.
Companies that define an ICP can create a sales, marketing, and product development strategy that aligns well with the needs of their best customers, improving efficiency and results. For example, a well-defined ICP can drive more qualified leads, improve customer retention, and increase revenue. These companies can also minimize wasted resources by not allotting them to prospective customers who are less likely to convert.
