What is an Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)?
An Ideal Customer Profile is a portrayal of a company that would gain the most value from your solution. An ICP is not an individual but rather includes:
- Industry
- Company size
- Revenue
- Technology stack
- Geographic location
- Purchase behavior
Unlike buyer personas that focus on individuals, ICPs help ABM teams zero in on companies that fulfill the best-fit client criteria.
