Defining the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)

Profile 1 - Mining
Profile 2 - Chemical Industry
Profile 3 - Dredging

What is an ICP?

An Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) is a detailed description of the company or person that perfectly aligns with Rhosonics' value proposition. It considers firmographics (industry, size, location), challenges they face, goals they strive for, and the decision-making process within those organizations.
Having a well-defined ICP is the foundation for all successful marketing and sales strategies. It ensures your efforts are targeted towards the companies that will benefit most from your products or services, ultimately leading to better customer acquisition, retention, and growth.

Why Start with an ICP?

Focused Marketing & Sales Efforts: ICPs helps us target our marketing and sales activities to the companies most likely to convert into loyal customers. This avoids wasting resources on unqualified leads.
Enhanced Messaging & Communication: Understanding our ideal customer allows us to tailor our messaging to resonate directly with their pain points and goals. This leads to more effective marketing campaigns and sales pitches.
Improved Sales Pipeline Quality: By focusing on ICP-aligned companies, we will attract leads with a higher propensity to buy, resulting in a stronger sales pipeline.
Reduced Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): Targeting qualified leads minimizes wasted resources and improves the efficiency of your sales and marketing funnel, lowering customer acquisition costs.
Increased Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV): ICP-aligned customers are more likely to find value in your offerings, leading to higher satisfaction, repeat business, and increased customer lifetime value.
Strategic Product Development: Understanding your ideal customer's needs informs product development efforts, ensuring you prioritize features and functionalities that resonate with your target market.

What do we need to know?

Rhosonics' Value Proposition

What are the core problems Rhosonics' products/services solve?
What specific pain points do they address?
What are the unique benefits that Rhosonics offers over competitors? e.g. Ultrasonic vs. Nuclear, ease of installation, reduced staffing requirements, lower maintenance costs

Analyze Existing Customer Base

Industry: What industries do they primarily operate in?
Company Size: Are they small, medium, or large enterprises?
Revenue: What's their annual revenue range?
Location: Are there geographic patterns? (Domestic, regional, international)
Tech Stack: What other technologies do they use in their processes? Where do we fit in? Big customers use DCS System - All other sensors plug in to this one. Small customers will more likely require HMI. Want to move calculations off of HMI and onto Transmitter. Make HMI optional, later on strengthen capabilities so that it becomes a mini DCS system for customers that don’t have one.
Common Challenges: What problems were they trying to solve when they chose Rhosonics? - Control, optimise, succeed.
Talk to Existing Customers: Interview them about their pain points and how Rhosonics offered solutions - would make good material for case studies too.
Get Feedback from the Sales Team: The Sales team has valuable insights about customers who have responded well to Rhosonics. We can use that information to form the ICPs.

Create ICP Segments based on the following:

Firmographics:
Industry
Company Size (revenue, employees)
Location
Technology used
Challenges and Goals:
What problems do they need to solve?
What are their business objectives?
How can Rhosonics help them achieve those objectives?
What are their priorities? (Reliability, accuracy etc.)
Decision-Making Process:
Who are the key decision-makers in the buying process? (Job titles, Seniority etc.)
What are their typical buying cycles? - Every 10-12 years companies tend to replace equipment
We can put these ICPs together on the following subpages.
