Tara Bryan: 00:00:49

everybody, welcome to today's episode of the course building

Tara Bryan: 00:00:51

secrets podcast. I am so happy to be with you today. Hey, so

Tara Bryan: 00:00:56

today's episode is really for service based businesses,

Tara Bryan: 00:01:00

agencies, freelancers, anyone who's working in the b2b space

Tara Bryan: 00:01:06

doing done for you services? So I got a question the other day

Tara Bryan: 00:01:11

that I thought was super interesting, for those of you

Tara Bryan: 00:01:14

who are kind of in this space, where you're used to giving one

Tara Bryan: 00:01:18

on one attention or done for you services to a client base, and

Tara Bryan: 00:01:23

you want to start pivoting into a productized offer, or create

Tara Bryan: 00:01:29

an online program or course for your for kind of what you're

Tara Bryan: 00:01:34

doing with your customers. And the question was like, so how do

Tara Bryan: 00:01:38

I structure a roadmap or, you know, figure out what to teach

Tara Bryan: 00:01:44

when we're doing done for your services? So sometimes we do the

Tara Bryan: 00:01:46

work, sometimes the client does the work. So how does this? How

Tara Bryan: 00:01:51

does it like end up in some sort of productized? Offer? So I want

Tara Bryan: 00:01:56

to just spend a couple of minutes talking about that,

Tara Bryan: 00:01:57

because it's such a great question. And it's really starts

Tara Bryan: 00:02:02

to change your mentality as you're going from sort of the

Tara Bryan: 00:02:09

approach of helping all of your customers in whatever it is that

Tara Bryan: 00:02:12

they need to owning one solution that allows you to sort of step

Tara Bryan: 00:02:19

into your role as the expert and help guide someone or your

Tara Bryan: 00:02:24

clients down the path. So a lot of times when we start out and,

Tara Bryan: 00:02:29

and I know this was for me when I left corporate and I started

Tara Bryan: 00:02:32

my agency that I did work for hire. So it was like, you know,

Tara Bryan: 00:02:37

I would come in and based on my expertise and my skill set, and

Tara Bryan: 00:02:39

then I would be a part of a team or work on a particular part of

Tara Bryan: 00:02:44

a project. And I didn't really own any of any of the the steps,

Tara Bryan: 00:02:51

right, I didn't own the whole process, I just own the part

Tara Bryan: 00:02:54

that I was working on. And then as I transitioned into the

Tara Bryan: 00:02:57

agency, where we were done for you agency, meaning we did

Tara Bryan: 00:03:00

everything top to bottom, we had, we had a methodology that

Tara Bryan: 00:03:06

we went through with each one of our clients. And we needed to do

Tara Bryan: 00:03:09

that because one, you can't really manage a project without

Tara Bryan: 00:03:14

having kind of the at least the big buckets identified,

Tara Bryan: 00:03:18

regardless of every time you're doing it's a little bit

Tara Bryan: 00:03:20

different. And so our big buckets that we had, we had five

Tara Bryan: 00:03:26

was just discovered, define, design, develop and deliver,

Tara Bryan: 00:03:32

right. So those were the kind of the big buckets. Within each of

Tara Bryan: 00:03:35

those, we could put specific activities and deliverables that

Tara Bryan: 00:03:41

went with that particular bucket. So if you think about

Tara Bryan: 00:03:45

like, you're kind of creating a project management plan, you

Tara Bryan: 00:03:51

have the beginning, the middle and the end, right. And so if

Tara Bryan: 00:03:54

you can identify what those bigger buckets are, then you can

Tara Bryan: 00:03:58

structure to say here is how we work. And what we bring to the

Tara Bryan: 00:04:04

table is our you know, six point delivery method or a six point

Tara Bryan: 00:04:10

methodology for how we work, then what you can say to the

Tara Bryan: 00:04:13

client is Okay, so here is how we go through that this process.

Tara Bryan: 00:04:18

And here are all of the parts and pieces of what is involved

Tara Bryan: 00:04:23

in that because most of the time, well, no, not 100% of the

Tara Bryan: 00:04:27

time the client is hiring you because of your expertise.

Tara Bryan: 00:04:30

They're hiring you for your ability to take whatever it is

Tara Bryan: 00:04:34

that they're dealing with a problem or an assignment like

Tara Bryan: 00:04:38

whatever it is, and they're hiring you to have your to apply

Tara Bryan: 00:04:43

your expertise to what they're doing. So instead of coming in

Tara Bryan: 00:04:46

as an order taker and saying, Okay, well tell me what you

Tara Bryan: 00:04:48

want, and I'll go ahead and execute on that. They're hiring

Tara Bryan: 00:04:51

you to actually own the process. Which means when you can lay out

Tara Bryan: 00:04:56

a process for them, like here are the six big buckets and

Tara Bryan: 00:04:59

here's what's in it. Who didn't each one, you can quantify it,

Tara Bryan: 00:05:02

you can control it, and you can manage the scope and the process

Tara Bryan: 00:05:07

for it. So that is the very first thing to do. And, and so

Tara Bryan: 00:05:11

if you're not doing this yet inner agency or in your one on

Tara Bryan: 00:05:14

one services, I encourage you to just take some time and sort of

Tara Bryan: 00:05:19

figure out what the buckets are. And it will tell you in learning

Tara Bryan: 00:05:22

and marketing in sales in, you know, whatever it is that you're

Tara Bryan: 00:05:25

doing, there is actually an industry standard for what the

Tara Bryan: 00:05:30

big buckets are, they're all called something a little bit

Tara Bryan: 00:05:33

different. But basically, it's a, you know, sort of a

Tara Bryan: 00:05:36

discovery, or, you know, uncovering what the need is,

Tara Bryan: 00:05:41

then you have to define specifically what it is that

Tara Bryan: 00:05:44

you're doing, then you start to do the design component of it,

Tara Bryan: 00:05:48

right, whatever that looks like, and then you build it, then you

Tara Bryan: 00:05:51

make it then then it there's an implementation piece to it. And

Tara Bryan: 00:05:56

then and then you launch it right or you, you know, you give

Tara Bryan: 00:06:00

it out to people. And so when you think about, you know, using

Tara Bryan: 00:06:05

those buckets as your starting place, you can put the

Tara Bryan: 00:06:08

activities then in the right buckets that you're doing, then

Tara Bryan: 00:06:12

you're defining that. And then the next level is you can either

Tara Bryan: 00:06:17

teach other people how to do each one of those buckets based

Tara Bryan: 00:06:20

on the way that you interpret that it the way that you do it,

Tara Bryan: 00:06:24

you can you can design some tools and templates to shortcut

Tara Bryan: 00:06:32

that process, you can assign things to your customer to do so

Tara Bryan: 00:06:35

you can actually keep moving down the path, or you have

Tara Bryan: 00:06:40

particular tasks and activities that you do to push the thing

Tara Bryan: 00:06:44

forward. So once you define that as an agency, then it can be

Tara Bryan: 00:06:49

packaged, then you can teach other people how to create that

Tara Bryan: 00:06:52

same system and sell it to their people, you can use it and

Tara Bryan: 00:06:56

create it for your customers, you can front load your front

Tara Bryan: 00:07:00

part of the whole process by having your customers do some of

Tara Bryan: 00:07:04

the elements that need to be done before they kind of walking

Tara Bryan: 00:07:07

in the methodology. So sky's the limit in terms of what you can

Tara Bryan: 00:07:11

do once you smile once you productize or create your

Tara Bryan: 00:07:15

proprietary system? Because then you can repeat it each time. So

Tara Bryan: 00:07:20

hopefully this helps you, as you're thinking through like how

Tara Bryan: 00:07:24

do I incorporate some sort of packaged process for my b2b

Tara Bryan: 00:07:29

customers, when I'm doing one on one work? How do I start that

Tara Bryan: 00:07:33

process? And it's really just looking at how to define the

Tara Bryan: 00:07:38

consistent way in which you deliver your expertise, or your

Tara Bryan: 00:07:44

deliverable, or whatever it is. So there you go. Hopefully that

Tara Bryan: 00:07:47

helps. If you want to dive into this deeper if it's not coming
