Have you ever productized your services?
Hey everyone, I'm curious to know if any of you are currently offering productized services?
For those who aren't familiar, a productized service is basically taking your expertise and packaging it into a clearly defined offering with set deliverables and pricing. It's like selling a product version of your service, instead of custom proposals and hourly billing.
So, if you productize your services, what are your thoughts on the model? Would love to hear:
* What types of services do you productize?
* What are the biggest advantages you've found?
* Are there any drawbacks you've encountered?
* Any tips for someone considering productizing their offerings?
Thanks for sharing your experiences! :)

Hey @rohanrecommends - I embarked the journey of productising Brandhero's UI/UX design services (www.brandhero.design) in form of Designhero (www.designhero.design). I found that due to clear nature of offerings, the sales cycles reduces drastically and client expectations are managed better. Primary drawback is that we do not get to offer everything and not too much customisation is possible in service offerings.
Hey Rohan – long time!
I've productized many services over the last few years: b2b lead gen, SEO, and web design.
It will help you streamline your operations and customer invoicing. Productizing allows you to scale customer acquisition without any major bottlenecks.
But, you've to limit your offerings within a limited scope and avoid doing custom deals.
Otherwise, you end up losing the operational benefits that you get from productizing.
If you're planning to productize your services, HMU on twitter.
I'll help you out.
This is a timely discussion @rohanrecommends. We're in the process of productizing services of Product Design, MVP, ongoing launches for early stage startups. Very interested in hearing what works and what to watch out for.
@rohanrecommends @anand_shah11 This is awesome Anand! I think with so many getting into the micro SaaS space from non technical niches this is a huge value add. Have you found that you've been able to find repeatable asks in your niche to make the work more scalable/copy-paste to a degree?
We at www.fleak.ai are in the process of productize streaming infrastructure building for highly versatile data transformations. The idea is to modularize every transformation need during the data movement without a storage layer. Traditionally, companies with complex data movement needs have to rely on McKinsey and Deloitte and spend multi millions to build customized streaming infrastructure. Our team has built extensive stream processors that has became the corner stone of enterprises like Netflix and Splunk, serving users with different technical backgrounds over 2 decades. We would love to open that magic box to all AI application builders and data practitioners.
@matheus_alencar has a super cool productized web development service he's starting. Would love to hear more about his journey as it begins to pick up speed!
