An ideal customer profile (ICP) describes your ideal customer. In B2B this is usually a company that gets the most out of your offer, buys readily and brings you the most value.

What an ICP includes

  • Industry and business model.
  • Company size by headcount or revenue.
  • Region and markets.
  • Typical problems and buying triggers.
  • Budget and decision making process.

ICP vs buyer persona

The ICP describes the ideal company, while a buyer persona describes the people within it, such as the managing director or marketing manager. Together they help with targeting, messaging and lead qualification, for example in LinkedIn lead generation.
