Why use a buyer persona template
Most personas end up as a stock photo and a list of interests that change nothing. This template asks for information that shapes marketing decisions: the situation that triggers a search, the questions asked at each stage, the objections that stall a deal, the alternatives considered, the people who influence or sign off, and the words customers actually use. A short section covers where they spend attention online.
Fill it from evidence: interview five to eight recent customers, talk to sales and support, and check search queries and reviews. Keep it to two or three personas that genuinely differ in how they buy. Revisit them yearly or after a major product change.
Teams usually use it before planning content, rewriting a website or briefing ads.
