How to Build a Data-Driven ICP Instead of Guessing Who to Sell To
Your ideal customer profile should come from data, not assumptions. Here's how to reverse-engineer your ICP from your best customers.
Most ICPs are written in a conference room based on gut feeling. The best ones are built by analyzing your top 20% of customers and finding what they have in common. Firmographics, technographics, behavioral signals, and buying triggers all matter.
The process starts with your CRM data. Pull every closed-won deal from the last 12 months and segment by LTV, time-to-close, and expansion revenue. The patterns in your best deals reveal who you should be targeting, and more importantly, who you should stop targeting.
