Episode 248 - [Ben Solo] A Quick Marketing Tip For Your HR Business: Segment Your Target Audience

In today's episode (see the video version on the Get More HR Clients website), Ben shares a quick tip to make it a little easier to market your HR business: segment your target audience. (By ‘HR’ we mean Generalist HR, Recruitment, Learning & Development, Employment Law, Compensation & Benefits, Diversity & Inclusion, Employee Engagement, etc). This is really good for generalist firms and consultants who don't want to 'niche down' or specialize in a particular industry or sector. One easy way is to come up with a few ‘buyer categories’. This is just a list of your main customer categories with some background information to guide you. All categories are different as they all have different needs, pressures, and frustrations. For example, for Ben's HR consulting business, he divided his website into the following categories: HR Professionals in Mid-Large Companies Business Owner Office Manager/Administration External Consultant To Companies Student Other Listen in to find out why. How would you divide up your customer/client categories? This episode will help you to target the right types of businesses and people within those companies. It will help you understand their needs, wants, questions, and concerns (and what they don’t want). While you're here, check out the HR Business Accelerator . . .
