FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is an ideal customer profile (ICP)?

It is a precise description of the companies that get the most value from your offer: industry, size, region, situation, and the people who make the buying decision. It is the basis for all the targeting in your campaigns.

How long does the study take?

Usually two weeks from the kick-off interview. You receive a written report and a presentation of the results.

Can I use the study without running campaigns with you?

Yes. The report and the target list are yours. You can use them with your own sales team, or ask us to run the campaigns afterwards.
