In my coaching program, a member asked me for suggestions on identifying his target market.  Your target market consists of the people and businesses that are most likely to consistently buy the products and services that you sell.

A good way to determine who is likely to become your customer is to clarify the problem that your  product or service addresses. 

For example, let’s assume that the problem that you solve is helping individuals to gain better  health. Anyone who is overweight, and would like to lose a few kilo’s, or has a chronic health problem etc., is a potential customer for your products/services.

Knowing who makes up this primary audience should be your primary goal when you are trying  to identify your target market. Once you have identified your target market you can start to craft the message that will compel your prospects to contact you.
