Client aur uska business samajhna – Ep 2

Neha aapke paas aati hai aur kehti hai:

“Mujhe bas sales badhani hai. Kuch bhi karo.”

Ek naya marketer turant Reels banane lagta hai. Ek achha marketer notebook kholta hai aur sawaal poochta hai. Is chapter mein aap seekhoge ki woh sawaal kaunse hain.

Business samajhna kyun zaroori hai?

Socho ek tailor bina naap liye kurti silne lage. Kurti kitni bhi sundar ho, fit nahi aayegi.

Marketing bhi aisi hi hai. Agar aapko pata nahi ki client kya bechta hai, kitne mein bechta hai, kisko bechta hai aur kitna kamata hai, toh aapki marketing “sundar lekin fit nahi” hogi.

Client discovery

Marketing shuru karne se pehle client ke business, goals, customers aur challenges ko sawaalon ke through samajhna.

Factor 1: Products aur unki category

Sabse pehle pata karo ki client kya bechta hai, aur kaunsa product sabse important hai.

Category	Price range	Monthly orders	Note
Cotton kurtis	₹699–₹999	14	Best seller, repeat customers
Casual tops	₹599–₹799	7	College girls mein popular
Party dresses	₹1,199–₹1,499	4	Zyada margin, kam orders

Isse ek bada insight milta hai: har product ko barabar promote karna zaroori nahi. Hero product (cotton kurtis) par focus karna smart ho sakta hai.

Hero product kya hota hai?

Woh product jo sabse zyada bikta hai, ya jisse brand pehchaana jaata hai. Ads aur content mein hero product aage rakhne se naye customer jaldi judte hain, phir baaki products bhi dekhte hain.

Factor 2: Pricing aur profit margin

Yeh woh hissa hai jo zyaadatar beginners skip karte hain, aur baad mein pachhtaate hain.

Ek cotton kurti ka hisaab dekho:

Item	Amount
Selling price	₹899
Kapda + silai (product cost)	₹380
Packaging + shipping	₹90
Payment gateway fee (~2%)	₹18
Marketing se pehle profit	₹411

Matlab ek kurti bechne ke liye aap ₹411 se kam marketing par kharch kar sakte ho, warna loss hai. Agar ek order laane mein ads se ₹500 lag rahe hain, toh har sale par ₹89 ka nuksaan!

Yaad rakhoMargin pata hoga, tabhi pata chalega ki ad budget kitna safe hai. Isko Stage 7 mein CAC ke saath detail mein karenge.

Factor 3: Existing customers kaun hain?

Client se poocho: “Aapse abhi tak kisne kharida hai?” Yeh data guess se 10 guna zyada valuable hai.

Neha ke last 3 mahine ke 75 orders dekhe toh pata chala:

Zyaadatar customers 24–34 saal ki working women hain
60% orders Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur se
Sabse zyada office wear kurtis bikti hain
18 customers ne dobara kharida

Yeh info Chapter 3 mein target audience banane ka base banegi.

Factor 4: Abhi sales kaise hoti hai?

Customer order kaise karta hai, yeh step-by-step likho. Isse “leak” dikhti hai.

Insta post→“DM for price”→Neha reply karti hai (4–24 ghante)→UPI payment→Courier

Problem dikh rahi hai? Customer ko price jaanne ke liye wait karna padta hai. 24 ghante mein woh kisi aur brand se kharid chuki hogi.

Is process mein aur kya dikkat ho sakti hai?

Sirf UPI hai, COD nahi, toh naye customer ko trust issue
Size guide nahi, toh galat size aur return
Order tracking nahi, toh baar-baar “parcel kab aayega?” wale message

Factor 5: Goals, budget aur limitations

Client ka goal aur uski limits dono pata hone chahiye.

Goal

3 mahine mein 25 se 60 orders/month

Budget

₹15,000/month (ads + content)

Team

Neha + 1 part-time helper. Koi designer nahi.

Stock

Ek design ke ~30 pieces banate hain

Limitations jaanna kyun zaroori hai? Agar aapne plan banaya “roz 3 Reels” aur team mein koi video editor nahi, toh plan kaagaz par hi reh jayega.

StyleStreet ki real problem

Client jo bolta hai vs jo actually problem hai

Neha ka kehna: “Mujhe aur followers chahiye.”

Discovery ke baad pata chala:

80 DMs/month aate hain, orders sirf 25
Price chhupa hua hai, reply slow hai
COD aur size guide nahi

Asli problem followers nahi, conversion hai. Agar hum sirf followers badhaate, toh paisa aur time dono jaate, result nahi aata.

Practical example: Client discovery call: 15 sawaal ki list

Pehli meeting mein yeh sawaal poocho. Notes banao, judge mat karo.

Area	Sawaal
Business	Kya bechte ho? Kab shuru kiya? Best seller kya hai?
Money	Average price? Product cost? Ek order par kitna bachta hai?
Customers	Kaun kharidta hai? Kahan se? Repeat kitne karte hain?
Sales	Order kaise aata hai? Payment, delivery, return kaise?
Marketing	Ab tak kya try kiya? Kya kaam kiya, kya nahi?
Goals	3 mahine baad success kaisa dikhega? Number mein batao.
Limits	Budget? Team? Stock? Time?

Tip: client ke answers ko unke words mein likho. Baad mein content aur ads ke liye yahi words kaam aate hain.

Aapka mission: Client Brief banao

StyleStreet (ya apne kisi jaanne wale ke business) ke liye ek 1-page client brief banao:

Products ki list, price range aur best seller likho
Ek product ka margin calculate karo (price − cost − shipping − fees)
Existing customers ki 4 khaas baatein likho
Current order process step-by-step likho aur 2 leaks mark karo
Client ka goal number mein likho (jaise 25 → 60 orders)
Budget, team aur stock limitations likho
