Ask them what they like about your services and products. Use them as your representative sample. Adjust your marketing materials so that you are targeting the things that your customers want. Because you naturally have competitors, it's a also good idea to try and talk to your competitors' customers. Find out what they want that they are not getting, and offer it to them. You should also learn more about your customers' habits and hobbies. This will help you to narrow down the best sales channels so you know where to advertise your services. You should also know as much about their financial situations as possible; this will help you to charge prices you know they will pay.
