Ouch!!! Customer pain points, they can hurt your customer in many different ways, financially, emotionally, and physically. They can hinder your customers business growth, personal sense of fulfillment, or ability to live a more meaningful life through the impact they make.

Your customer pain points can be your biggest key to getting the business deal. They have a need and in the best case scenario, you have the solution.

I created the following content to give your startup a better picture of what your customers are going through, understanding the value of your customer’s pain points, and how you can identify them.

Let’s have fun!

What Are Customer Pain Points?

Go online where your target market is. You will hear them discussing their pain points loud and clearly.

There are many pain points your customer could experience. For example, they could share that they do not have enough time, money, resources, reliable support, or they share that they feel tired, burned out, and want to give up. Understanding what your customer’s pain points are and what they really want can help them overcome them and, in return, helps your startup.

All pain is not equal pain. We all can feel our pain physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually.

A customer’s pain point is the emotion they feel when they think of a specific need, problem, weakness, struggle, or an unfulfilled desire they have resolved.

Defining your customer’s pain points gives your startup the opportunity to create solutions through your products that will take away their specific pain; creates trust and credibility for your company.

It’s the same when our customers experience pain and how you can guide your customers to overcame their pain points. They can range from feeling a bit uncomfortable to having the desperate feeling of not having enough money, time, or resources. They are ready for a change.

Identifying Customer Pain Points

In the SEO industry, they say the money is in the niches and its keywords. In reality, the niches and keywords are created from the pain points your customer’s experience. The niches are found in the keywords they use to search for solutions.

When you identify your customer’s and potential client’s pain points, you can help to address them. You also get an understanding of what your customers are dealing with and can provide more relevant solutions.

Every startup experiences different levels and types of pain points.
