how ‘productizing’ services benefits clients

they can be delivered more promptly and consistently.

by jody padar
radical pricing – by the radical cpa

now that you have hopefully standardized your services, it’s time to look at productization. productization is the packaging of intangible services to make them feel tangible. you put everything you will do for a persona into an offering that resonates with them because it’s customized for them. it’s then clearly priced so the buyer knows what they get for their investment.
