Analyse your ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) in 5 minutes

by Helena Klaus
Jul 02, 2025

When I started Sales in DACH, I had:

0 pipeline
0 brand
1 employee (me, myself and I 🙋‍♀️)

and I had to start from Scratch!

Over the next few weeks, I will show you how I got from 0 € to 120.000 € pipeline in 4 weeks (with an average deal size of 5k)!

So let's start with the basics!

What most reps get wrong:

They say their ICP is:

“Tech companies with 11–200 employees.”

No. That’s a segment.

An Ideal Customer Profile is more than a job title and company size.
It’s about context, goals, problems, and consequences.

And if you don’t speak that language, you’ll always get ignored.

So here’s how to map your ICP:

This is my go-to worksheet before writing any messaging, campaign, or outreach. 👇

Example for Sales in DACH:

Sales Leader in DACH

ICP Sales Director @ SaaS scaleup
Goal Hit 125% quota, onboard new reps fast
Problem Team struggles with cold outbound
PainPoint Missed targets = lower team morale, more pressure
Solution Repeatable outbound system + onboarding plan
ROI 20% more pipeline, better ramp time, confidence

 

Why this works:

Because once you really know your IC, everything gets easier:

  • Cold emails feel natural
  • Call openers hit home
  • Your product isn’t just “useful” — it’s essential

 

Quick Win Challenge:

Take one ICP you’re selling to.
Fill out the table for them.

Then look at your last message to that persona.
Does it speak their language?

If not, rewrite it.
Use your ICP as your GPS. Always!
