🚀 This Week’s Growth Hack: Tapping Into Customer Intent Patterns

This is a rant. You may love it or hate it. But damn, many of you have no idea how to create a marketing strategy for your particular customer intent pattern!

I recently took a call with a company who sells offshore talent placement services. They said they have blown their budget by investing a small amount on a bunch of different customer acquisition channels (including paid ads, influencers, podcast ads, and more) and therefore have a tight budget, so they were hoping I would help them find a growth hack to maximize the little budget they have.

When I visited the website, they had the most generic copy I’ve ever seen. It didn’t tell me any of the benefits of working with them over any other overseas staffing agency. It didn’t have a single case study or testimonial. The site gave me no reason to fill out their form, which has 6 questions on it (way too many as a first step). And that’s when I started to get frustrated. It’s one thing to throw things at the wall and see what sticks but they seemingly have no idea how to effectively market their service. You have to understand your customers’ unique intent pattern.

If you sell offshoring services that help companies find talent overseas, you have to understand you are in a “must be looking for help” customer intent pattern so you need to either:

A) make it so that anyone who googles "hire overseas talent ASAP" sees you first, because they need what you are selling right now

or

B) advertise so often in all of your target customers' favorite newsletters / podcasts / social feeds that when they do actually need your service, they don't think to go to anyone else but you

or

C) create partnerships with people who can recommend you the moment they have a client or follower who needs to hire someone ASAP, and then consistently stay top of mind for them with great incentives so they refer you in at the right moment

THAT'S IT!

ANY OTHER PENNY, OR SECOND, SPENT ON MARKETING IS A WASTE.

If you are selling cat t-shirts to cat enthusiasts, you know you are in an “impulse purchase” customer intent pattern...

So you need to lean heavily into things that work for your particular customer intent pattern like:

A) limited time only discounts "30% off this weekend only"

or

B) Celeb or influencer endorsements

or

C) Limited time only products - "buy this before we sell out cuz it will never be available again"

In Summary: Identify your customer intent pattern (aka the premise someone needs to have before even considering buying your product) and develop a marketing strategy that’s appropriate to that premise.

That’s it! Now, how are you going to readjust your marketing resources with a clearer picture of the premise someone needs to have before even considering to buy your product??
