🎯 Why Product Tactics Don’t Work for Services

You’re not selling a gadget. You’re selling a promise.

Service-based business ≠ product business. Your client can’t touch coaching or test-drive consulting. That means your marketing needs to build belief, not just awareness.

🏁 Shift #1: Finish Line Language

People don’t want your process—they want their transformation.

Examples:

Health coach? You're not selling 6 sessions—you’re selling more energy, better sleep, and “I feel amazing in my clothes again.”
Marketing agency? You’re not selling a campaign calendar—you’re selling consistent clients and peace of mind.
Landscaper? You’re not mowing lawns—you’re giving weekends back.

💡 Don’t describe what you do. Show what they get.
→ The result is the product.

⚖️ Shift #2: Feature-to-Benefit Ratio

Clients don’t buy pen caps—they buy no ink stains.

For every feature you offer, translate it into what it does for them:

“Three strategy sessions” → Clarity on what to focus on each week
“22-page roadmap” → You’ll never guess your next move again
“Private Slack access” → You’ll get help when it matters, not two weeks later

📌 Rule of Thumb: For every feature, tie it directly to a tangible benefit.

🔄 Shift #3: The CASE Funnel

You don’t need 97 reels, a podcast, and a lead magnet buried in your IG bio.
You need a system—a simple, predictable path from stranger to client.

Enter: The CASE Funnel

CASE = Coaches, Agencies, Service Pros, Experts

Here’s the 6-step framework:

1. 🔦 Traffic

Start with attention. Social posts, podcast interviews, YouTube, paid ads—it doesn’t matter. Your goal: Get interest, not sales (yet).

2. 📩 Opt-In

Send that traffic to one helpful, easy-to-digest freebie. A checklist, short video, or mini-guide that solves a real problem.

This opt-in builds permission—and trust.

3. 🎬 Authority Amplifier

Immediately after opt-in, hit 'em with a thank-you page video.
Give them one quick win. Don’t overwhelm—just prove you can help.

End with an invite to apply.

4. 📝 Application

Short form. Ask what they want, what’s stopping them, and where they need help.
Bonus: This frames you as the expert reviewing them.

5. 📅 Calendar

If they’re a fit, show the booking link.
No back-and-forth, no ghosting—just clear direction.

6. 📞 The Call

By now, they’ve seen your face, consumed your content, taken action, and told you their pain. This isn’t a cold call—it’s a warm, “How do we work together?”

👏 No pressure. Just alignment.
