“Marketing messaging is going micro and visual. You have 3 seconds, using 6-to-8 words, to capture your prospects’ attention. How do you choose the right words?” asks Julie Keyser-Squires, CEO of Softscribe Inc. “Buyer persona-based messaging is the result of a disciplined process that lets us grab hold of the true voice of the customer. We hand-build the personas into persuasive messaging that breaks through the noise level, and triggers sales.”
“Softscribe took a chance with Buyer Personas,” said Adele Revella, founder of the Buyer Persona Institute. “They invested in the workshops and the time to do the interviews without any guarantees that they would be rewarded for the effort. They are rock stars, a shining example of the reason I founded the Buyer Persona Institute.”
Revella awarded Softscribe Inc. the respected Buyer Persona Institute Certified Practitioner badge, which is based on a rigorous proficiency evaluation.
Squires credits Adele Revella with training the entire Softscribe Inc. team in her proprietary Buyer Persona methodology. “Adele is a gifted mentor. Her Buyer Persona-creation process is thorough, streamlined and effective.” Squires said it took 2 to 3 months to schedule and complete the required buyer persona interviews. “We work with interviewees’ busy schedules. So far, we’ve completed Buyer Personas for two of our most innovative clients. The sales impact, and clarity of the messaging, is phenomenal.”
