Wondering why your services are gathering more dust than dollars? Tired of being another face in the crowd of indistinguishable service offers? You’re not alone, friend.

After helping coaches and solo service providers market themselves for two decades, I can safely say that a generic service offering is pretty much a one-way ticket to Nowheresville.

Why is this the case?

Well, here’s the painful truth — generic service offerings are like wallpaper. They’re just there. They don’t pop, they don’t catch eyes, and they certainly don’t get clicks. They’re forgettable, and in the online world, that’s a cardinal sin.

If you want to promote your service successfully and get more dream customers to bite, you need to make it stand out!

How? Well, buckle up, because we’re diving into why your ideal clients aren’t buying — and how to turn things around!

We’re talking ALL the whys and hows — why your ideal clients are swiping left and how to make them swoon so hard they hit the “Buy Now” button like it owes them money.

Let’s go!

Stand Out or Miss Out: Why Unique Service Offers Work

Okay so, what is a service offer anyway?

A service offer is your irresistible pitch — a sexy bundle of kick-ass services and undeniable perks that speak to your ideal client’s deepest cravings and solves their peskiest problems.

Here are some awesome service offering examples to get inspired by!

Now look, I get it — creating unique service offers might sound daunting. Many businesses struggle with it, and for good reason.

But let me lay down some truth. Offering something truly unique is your golden ticket to standing out in an oversaturated market.

Why? Let me tell ya! Unique service offerings will:

• Stop Scroll Fatigue: With so many near-identical offers, a unique proposal jolts your prospect out of their endless scroll.
• Trigger Emotional Buys: Tailored offers resonate on a personal level, making your prospects feel understood and catered to.
• Boost Word of Mouth: A service that feels custom-made is a story worth sharing, turning clients into brand advocates.

Step 1: Tune Into Your Ideal Client’s Vibe 

Before you can whip up an offer that turns heads, you gotta know what those heads are thinking!

Understanding the unique desires and pain points of your target market is the cornerstone of creating a service offer that virtually sells itself.

Now, why do you gotta be a mind-reader all of a sudden? Well, knowing the desires and needs of your dream clients lets you craft an offer so spot-on, it’s like you’ve read their diary. 

And who can resist something that gets them so deeply? Not me! My TikTok-made-me-do-it impulse buys are proof of that.

Digging Deep

Start by diving into market research. Use surveys, social listening, or even one-on-one interviews to understand your ideal clients inside and out.

Are they looking for more personalization? Faster results? Spell out exactly what your audience wants, so you can give it to them!

Let’s say you’re a career coach, for example, and your research shows that mid-level managers want a quick, actionable roadmap to promotions.

Bingo! You’ve got the seed for a super specialized coaching program they simply can’t say no to!

Step 2: (read in the Godfather’s voice) Crafting a Service Offer They Can’t Refuse

So, you’ve figured out what your ideal client wants. Fab! Now, it’s time to translate this intel into a service offering that’s as personalized as a Taylor Swift love song.

Why so personal? I’m glad you asked! A service offer that speaks directly to your ideal client’s needs and desires is like a love song written just for them — it bypasses the brain and goes straight to the heart.

(Awww)

Writing Your Love Song Service Offering

1. Feature List: Start by listing the features your service package will have. Whether it’s 1:1 coaching sessions or personalized checklists, list absolutely everything.
2. Tie to Needs: Now connect those service features to the needs and desires you’ve uncovered.
3. Sprinkle in Benefits: What will each feature do for your ideal client? What is the benefit of each feature? What are the end results they can expect?

What do I mean by this? Don’t just offer “Career Coaching” – offer a “90-Day Level-Up Bootcamp”, complete with weekly check-ins, a personalized growth roadmap, and 24/7 text support for those emergency confidence boosts.

You know, the good stuff!
The juicy bits.

The “wow, that sounds amazing!”

Step 3: Paint Their Dream Picture: How Your Offer Changes Lives

Sure, your offer may be packed with fantastic features, but it’s the benefits that seal the deal. We’re talking about translating those features into real-world results.

You see, features are just the specs (snore!); benefits are the experience. People buy experiences. See where I’m going with this?

You want to really take them into the experience through your service offering, help them imagine themselves smack dab in the middle of it and how life looks on the other side!

Paint a Vivid Picture

• Tell a Story: Create a narrative around your service.
• Use Real Testimonials: Let satisfied clients do the talking.
• Showcase Case Studies: Got data? Flaunt it, honey!
• Visual Elements: Add images or videos to support your story.
• Call to Action: Close with a powerful CTA that ties back to the benefits.

For example, don’t just say you offer resume reviews – tell them how you’ll turn their resume into a personal brand masterpiece that grabs eyeballs from top-level execs and helps them nab their dream job!

And what will their dream job provide? A better life, more free time, and more money to enjoy said better life and free time. Say it loud and clear in your service offering, and you’ll see those customers rolling in. Trust me!

Step 4: Disarm the Doubts: Smashing Objections to Seal the Deal

You’ve dazzled them with your irresistible service offerings, but there might still be lingering doubts. You’ve got to tackle these head-on to convert those hesitant browsers into buyers.

People fear making the wrong choice. By tackling their objections head-on, you make it easy for them to say yes.

Play Offense, Not Defense

Anticipate common objections and preemptively counter them. Whether it’s pricing, timing, or skepticism about results, address these concerns proactively in your sales copy or FAQs.  

• FAQ It: Create an FAQ section that knocks down those objections one by one for each of your service packages.
• Risk-Free Guarantees: A money-back guarantee can tip them from “maybe” to “hell yes!”
• Real-Time Reassurance: Use chat support or timely follow-up emails to quell any last-minute jitters.
• Free Services: Why not offer a little free trial of your service offerings? That way, people know what they’re getting themselves into and won’t be afraid to dive right in!
