A lead's "persona" is a fictional profile to showcase a target buyer's relevant features. Personas help you personalize your offering to each target buyer, instead of treating them as the same.
Rather than a highly detailed persona, most products are best served with 3 to 5 simple personas.
Here's how the simplest persona profile should look:
