What Buyer persona means
Personas are drawn from customer interviews, sales calls, and data, not guesses. Most businesses need two to four.
They guide every marketing decision: which channels to use, what to say, and which objections to answer.

Buyer persona
A buyer persona is a profile of an ideal customer, built from real research, describing their goals, problems, questions, and how they buy.
Example
A course provider defines "Career-switcher Ayesha": a graduate in an unrelated field who wants a job-ready skill and worries about having no technical background.
Why it matters
Marketing aimed at everyone persuades no one. Personas keep messages specific to the people most likely to buy.
