00:00 – 00:19 “If you know some information about the CIO, for example, if you sell tech products, if you know their priorities and their goals and their demographics, that’s only helpful to a point. What you really want to know is what are the drivers, and the fears, and concerns, and buyer’s journey path that people take. And that’s how we define a buyer persona.” — Jim Kraus
