The ideal customer profile (ICP) defines the firmographic, environmental and behavioral attributes of accounts that are expected to become a company’s most valuable customers.
An ideal customer profile describes an ideal customer for a business based on common attributes like demographics, behavior patterns, needs, and pain points. The purpose of an ICP is to help businesses focus their marketing and sales efforts on the customers that are most likely to convert.
