Narrowing Down to an Ideal Client Profile

Focusing on an Ideal Client Profile (ICP) can significantly increase business revenue and client retention. This approach requires agency owners to identify the specific type of client that brings the most value, which helps to improve the lifetime value (LTV) of those clients. This case study illustrates that clients fitting the established ICP tend to stay longer and generate twice the revenue of less suitable clients, demonstrating the effectiveness of targeted marketing. Engaging in an ICP exercise can yield breakthroughs in understanding which clients to prioritize, ultimately driving sustainable business growth.
