Customer Avatar Is One Composite Person, Not a Demographic
Take all your best customers and prospects, roll them into one representative person — their fears, frustrations, wants, aspirations, and demographics — and then script your communication as a conversation with that specific individual. This is the customer avatar. Individuals experience your content alone, from their personal perspective. When you address them as 'you all' or write for groups, you break the connection instantly because they think: I'm not all of you, I'm just me. The fix is to create your product for one person first, ensuring maximum individual value, then sell that same product to many. It sounds like it would limit your reach. The opposite is true — personalized communication scales, generic communication doesn't.
