Jim Kraus,
President of the Buyer Persona Institute, provides fresh insights
for marketing and sales professionals to understand what drives
prospects' buying decisions
SYRACUSE, N.Y., July 31,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Buyer Persona Institute (BPI),
renowned for partnering with global companies to develop buyer
personas that take the guesswork out of marketing and sales, today
announced that the 2nd edition of Buyer Personas,
published by Wiley, is now available. This newly revised and
expanded version of the groundbreaking business book provides a
fresh look into understanding prospective customers' buying
decisions to empower companies to influence them and win more
business.
Buyer Personas enables marketers to stop basing critical
decisions about customers on guesswork and gut feelings. Instead,
Jim Kraus, BPI President, and
Adele Revella, BPI Founder, provide
the reader with a step-by-step approach marketers can use to drill
down into what buyers truly value. With this understanding,
marketers can then create strategies that break through the clutter
to reach buyers with messages to speak directly to their needs.
Kraus is an author, speaker, and consultant with decades of
experience leading high-performing market insight teams as the
President of BPI and in executive roles at IBM and Prudential.
In the new edition, marketers will learn:
- Why understanding the buying decision is far more important
than knowing a few things about the individuals or roles involved
in that decision
- How to develop a modern Buyer Persona based on five types of
buying insights that will inform nearly every marketing and sales
decision you make
- Why interviewing recent buyers is the best way to develop your
Buyer Persona and how to do it effectively
- How to use AI and quantitative survey research to enhance your
Buyer Persona
- Ways to use Buyer Persona insights to increase awareness of
your products and services, drive consideration, and convert more
business

persona research and workshop methodologies that have become the
gold standard for hundreds of companies worldwide that rely on

"The first edition of this book changed the way marketers think
about buyer personas, helping them to shift from marginally useful
character sketches of customer types to detailed studies that truly
uncover their desires and buying motivations," Kraus said. "Over
the last decade, BPI has developed new techniques and best
practices that make buyer personas even stronger, all of which is
included in this new edition."
