#1 - Create a Profile of your Ideal Buyer
You can't pull off a successful webinar if you don't understand who your customers are.

You might think you want to attract as many people as possible, but that's not actually a good idea.

Think of it this way - do you want 1 million attendees and no engagement, or do you want 1000 attendees and 50 qualified leads?

It's all about reaching qualified leads.

Attracting a group of people who will never be your customer is a waste of your time, energy, and resources.

That's why it's essential to understand who your prospects are, what they're into, what their pain points are, and how you can help them.
A buyer persona is a detailed description of someone who represents your target audience. This person is not a real customer but a fictional person who embodies your best potential customers' characteristics.

A detailed buyer persona will help you determine where to focus your time, guide product development, and allow for alignment across the organization. The idea is to think about and speak to this model customer as if they were a real person. This will enable you to craft marketing messages targeted specifically to them.

Let's walk through a case study to help paint a clearer picture of the process.
