Adopt the insider language of your vertical buyer

    Two ingredients that make the difference

    How do you adopt the insider language of your vertical buyer?

    Not surprisingly, you do so by:

    • Spending lots of time with them

    • Helping them solve their problems

    • Meeting with them regularly

    • Joining their associations and social media groups

    • Reading their industry publications

    But two more ingredients are essential:

    1. Truly caring about them

    2. Devoting nearly all of our discretionary time and money to building relationships and selling into that vertical

    Here's the thing:

    It's easy to simply use their insider words in your communication (website, collateral, marketing, sales).

    But they'll know you're an imposter unless you're committed to their success.

     

    Questions to ponder:

    👉 How are we using the insider language of our target buyer to signal we're an insider?

    👉 Do we genuinely understand our target buyer?

     

    Have a great weekend!
