Just One Small Change Can Skyrocket Your Business Growth

^{Estimated Reading Time: 2.5 Minutes}

In today's discussion, we'll explore a crucial transformation for online business owners:

Transitioning from conventional service methods (like freelancing) to a productized service model.

For those unfamiliar, a productized service is a standardized service package, sold at a consistent price and with a defined scope.

Adopting this method streamlines and expands your service offerings, making them more stable and efficient for both you and your clients.

It's significant because it enables you to move away from bespoke, variable projects towards a business model that is more scalable and reliable. This shift is essential for creating a more fulfilling life for you and your family.

Now, let's delve deeper into what this means.

A Frequent Mistake

To transition from freelance or traditional services to a predictable, productized service model, here's a strategy to consider:

1. Find Your Niche: Zoom in on a specific skill or service that sets you apart.

2. Uniformity in Offering: Create a consistent, replicable subscription-based package.

3. Define Limits: Be clear about what is included in the service, and more crucially, what isn't.

4. Leverage Automation and Teamwork: Utilize tools for efficiency and delegate tasks.

5. Iterate Based on Feedback: Regularly collect and apply customer feedback to improve.

6. Growth and Expansion: Once established, broaden your horizon with new, productized services.

Example Productized service: Social Media Management

1. Identify Your Niche: Focus on a specific market segment, such as small businesses in the health and wellness industry. Your expertise in this niche will be your unique selling point.

2. Standardize Your Offer: Develop a package called 'Wellness Social Media Boost'. This could include managing up to 3 social media platforms, creating and scheduling 15 posts per platform per month, and a monthly analytics report.

3. Set Clear Boundaries: Define the scope of the 'Wellness Social Media Boost' package to include:

   • A strategy call at the start of each month.

   • Creation and scheduling of 45 social media posts (15 for each platform).

   • Basic graphic design for posts (using client-provided images or stock photos).

   • Monthly analytics report with performance metrics.

   • Basic engagement activities (like responding to comments and messages).

   Any additional services such as extensive graphic design work, video production, or running paid ad campaigns are outside the scope and would require an upgraded package or separate pricing.

4. Price and Package: With the services clearly defined, offer this as a monthly subscription package. For the deliverables mentioned, the price could be set at $1,500 per month. This pricing structure ensures you know your monthly income and the specific tasks to be performed for each client.

By following this approach, you can effectively productize your Social Media Management services, making them easier to market, sell, and deliver, while also providing clear value and expectations to your clients.

Automate and Delegate:

• Leverage Tools: Use project management and social media management tools to streamline the workflow. This can include scheduling software, analytics tools, and collaborative platforms like Trello or Asana.

• Hire Junior Staff: To free up your time for high-level strategy and client consultations, consider hiring junior social media managers. They can handle content creation and basic engagement, allowing you to focus on client acquisition and service enhancement.

Feedback Loop:

• Implement a Feedback System: After completing a month's service, send out a survey or make a follow-up call to gather client feedback. This feedback is crucial for understanding client satisfaction, areas for improvement, and potential upsell opportunities.

• Continual Improvement: Use the feedback to refine your service offerings, making adjustments to content strategy, post frequency, or engagement tactics as needed.

Scale Up:

• Introduce Advanced Packages: After establishing the 'Wellness Social Media Boost', consider introducing more comprehensive packages. For instance, 'Wellness Social Media Pro' could include video content creation, advanced graphic design, paid advertising management, and more in-depth analytics.

• Customization for Larger Clients: Offer customized packages for larger businesses or more established brands in your niche. This can include a dedicated account manager, comprehensive campaign planning, and integration with their overall marketing strategy.

Tying It Back to Your Journey:

• Document and Share Your Process: Use platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, or industry-specific forums to share your journey of building a productized service. Discuss the challenges, successes, and lessons learned.

• Market Your Service: Position your content to attract your ideal clients. Share case studies, client testimonials, and insights that resonate with your target audience.

• Continuous Learning and Adaptation: Stay abreast of trends in social media and content marketing. Use this knowledge to continuously evolve your service offerings, ensuring they remain relevant and valuable to your clients.

Conclusion:

• By following these steps, you'll not only streamline your business operations but also create a scalable model that can grow with your ambitions. Remember, the key to success in productized services is balancing standardization with the flexibility to adapt to client needs and market changes. Stay focused on delivering value and maintaining the quality of your services as you grow.

Bringing It Back to Your Journey

If you're in the process of creating your own productized service, start by identifying repetitive tasks within your business operations. Then, package these tasks into a more scalable offering using the steps mentioned above.

Once you've completed this, generate content on platforms like LinkedIn or Twitter/X that reflects your new offering and resonates with your ideal clients (and their challenges).

This approach will simplify your business model and make your value proposition clearer to potential clients online.

It's not just about changing what you offer; it represents a fundamental shift in how you approach your business.

If executed successfully, you'll establish a more sustainable, scalable business that delivers tangible value and gives you greater control over your future growth.
