By Cristian Lascu · The Sovereign Technologist

Productized services — fixed scope, fixed price, repeatable delivery — let you charge for the value of a result, not the hours you spend producing it.

Pro tips
- →Name your service after the outcome, not the process. 'Revenue Growth Audit' beats 'Consulting Engagement'. The client is buying the result — sell the result.
- →Scope every service so precisely that the question 'is this included?' is never ambiguous. Scope creep is the #1 profitability killer for productized services.
- →Price based on value delivered, not time spent. A 2-day audit that saves a client €50,000 is worth far more than €2,000. Price accordingly.
- →Build a waiting list. Scarcity is real when you're one person. A short waiting list signals demand, justifies higher prices, and keeps you from desperate selling.
- →Document everything so the service is repeatable. A service you have to reinvent each time is a project, not a product. Good documentation is what makes scaling possible.
