What is an ideal customer profile template?
An ideal customer profile (ICP) template helps teams define the characteristics of the customers they want to attract and serve. It brings together key information about who the ideal customer is, what they need, and what influences their buying decisions.
By organizing these insights in one place, teams can build a shared understanding of their ideal customer and make more informed product, marketing, and sales decisions.
