Have you heard: “We please everybody. They are all our customers” or somewhere around those words? In a conversation, I had with a CFO of a multinational sporting goods retail company I asked him who his ideal customer is, he spoke something like this: “A man or female between 15 and 45 who enjoys walking or doing sports” My immediate thoughts were: “You just targeted sixty percent of the population.”
