Consumer teams often write personas from assumptions, which leads to messages built on the team's own taste. This template gives you a structure for a shared customer profile: who the customer is, what they are trying to achieve, what they buy and where they look, plus the quote and glossary that keep the team in the buyer's own words. Each page answers a question a marketer, sales rep or product manager asks before they act.
The sample shows a fictional research round for Marlowe Green Collective, a home goods brand selling refillable pantry staples. It draws on 14 interviews and 620 survey responses, and it names five personas, the three largest covering 78% of revenue. Replace the research basis, names, figures and quotes with your own findings before you share the profile with the team.

No. Marlowe Green Collective, the team members, the 14 interviews, the 620 survey responses, the quotes and the scorecard figures are fictional sample data. Replace them with your own before you share the profile.
Three to five is usually enough. Keep the personas that cover most of your revenue or pipeline, and merge any that buy for the same reason so the team can remember each one.
Interviews give the most useful answers, and 8 to 20 is a common target. If you have only surveys, say so on the cover page so readers know how much weight to give the personas.
