Customer Profile End User: The individual (a real person!) who will use your product. The end user is usually a member of the household (B2C) or organization (B2B) that purchases your product. Decision-Making Unit: The individual(s) who decide whether the customer will buy your product, consisting of: Champion: The person who wants the customer to purchase the product; often the end user. Primary Economic Buyer: The person with the authority to spend money to purchase the product. Sometimes this is the end user. Influencers, Veto Power, Purchasing Department, and so on: People who have sway or direct control over the decisions of the Primary Economic Buyer.

Profiling Customers There are several approaches that are used to segment a market so that you can determine what their wants and needs are. The traditional segmentation approaches include: Geographic Demographic Socioeconomic Psychographic Behavior Culture Benefits Generic Description with range

Persona Personas are imaginary, yet realistic and detailed descriptions specific but representative users of your product. They provide a basis for design discussions by concentrating many pieces of user data into key, focused, believable descriptions of your primary audience. Creating personas gives your design team a shorthand way of describing who they're building things for, rather than saying, the user, which could mean anyone. Key users Give you focus in your product/service design Create from site visit data or field research

Persona Definition Persona is a design tool that helps ensure that programs, services and systems are designed for real users. Alan Cooper, pioneer of software interaction design, coined the term, defining personas as a “hypothetical individual that takes on the characteristic of real users,” representing real people throughout the process of designing a service or product. Personas are developed “with significant rigor and precision...we don’t so much ‘make up’ personas as discover them as a byproduct of the investigation process.”

Persona A persona is an archetype of an organization’s typical customer, and is defined primarily by a customer’s goals when interacting with the products. They are not real people, but are used to represent real users during the design process. Products generally have a “cast” of personas, ranging from 3 to 8, one of which is considered the primary persona. These are best presented as narratives which provides a persona with realistic characteristics. Name Age Photo Candid quotes Personal information Work environment Computer proficiency Motivation for using the product Information-seeking habits Personal and professional goals Evokes a strong sense of empathy in the project team Eliminates the need to design for an abstract, elastic “user group” whose goals and needs are not fully understood Facilitates user-centered design – focusing on the goals of your typical customers rather than the project team Source: The ABCs of Personas: Design for People, Design for Success

The Difference Between Customer Profiles & Buyer Personas
A dynamic tool to clarify customer understanding A structured, detailed way to describe a specific customer segment Allows you to step into your customer's’ shoes, rather than assuming for them Maps out the jobs-to-be-done, pains and gains a customer may have Assumptions are validated or invalidated Outcomes and learnings are based on real customer conversations & interactions Your understanding of the customer and the customer profile itself will evolve as you gather more evidence Forces customer priorities onto the value proposition you design A detailed and well planned document for execution A semi-fictional representation of your ideal customer Relies largely on market research & data through surveys and focus groups Contains a lot of assumptions on customers Primarily based on survey responses or focus groups (customer’s don’t always do what they say!) Focus on a static instance in time, rather than a dynamic evolution through constant customer learning May contain little or no direct customer interaction Forces your value proposition onto customers

Customer Personas Customer personas are research-based archetypal (modeled) representations of who buyers are, what they are trying to accomplish, what goals drive their behavior, how they think, how they buy, why they make buying decisions, where they buy and when buyers decide to buy.

Persona: A Case Study of VA Services
We identify high level trends in ways Veterans seek out assistance, use technology, take advantage of services, and react to challenging interactions. Based on these patterns we have created a set of four profiles, or personas, that represent the kinds of users with whom we spoke. Each persona is an archetype based on commonalities we observed amongst Veterans who exhibited similar behaviors and approaches to accessing VA services. They are not categorized by positive or negative experiences, but by shared expectations and needs. In drawing together users by the ways in which they engage with the service at hand, we can identify trends and ensure we are meeting the needs of the varied types of customers we serve.

Persona: Lifer

Designing for The Lifer
Allow me to pause and ask questions, and to have access to a VA professional to speak with frequently and in a timely manner. Include info about local Veteran support chapters in communications. Provide me with a single online tool or a call center where they can refill prescriptions, see test results, and maintain all aspects of the VA needs. Give high level of feedback loops so that I can be assured my request was submitted and is being handled.
