How would you go about selling a service? Tell me your best tactic in the comments below. I'm curious what your tactic would be because I'm about to share with you five ways that I would sell a service.
I had a sit down with a service client who happened to also be a university professor regarding inventors and entrepreneurship. He tells me a story of a guy who made a successful company driving a dump truck. Driver calls up and advertises to construction companies, who always need trucks to haul away demolition waste. A year later, he's got multiple trucks and multiple huge clients. My professor friend says to him: "What made your business take off so well?" guy was like "Nothing special. I showed up when I said I would show up. I did what I said I would do, and I charged what I said I would charge" From my experience in another field, it's true. If you can do those 3 things, you get repeat business. Everybody's looking for secret answers, but straight up honesty, dealing square with customers will make bank. I have customers paying every month for 10 years and counting. No swift grift can match that.
My name is Saba Malik and i am the founder of a publishing company (IJSmart Publishing), this company is providing more than 100 services in a single platform from publishing books, to journals for research to the conferences and much more. We didnt start the marketing yet but we are learning and makin plans. As you are the marketing legend so i am following your tactics. As per your instructions benefits and outcomes are the best way. but i am using all of the 5 points you mentioned.
To sell a service you need to ask the customer open ended questions to discover their needs. Once tou know that, go with the benefits of your services to match their needs
I like the way you sell your services. One of the most expensive services. The more you provide value the higher you sell your services. Whether you're the cheapest or the most expensive.. No in between :) enjoyed your video
Hi Neil, I like the way you made an info video to teach business owners and at the same time you promoted your business and let us know that you are not cheap in pricing to remove the sticker shock... nicely done
Hi, Neil Patel! I like your content and found it precise and concise! It really meets my needs from the content, I'll see your videos related to my current research!
What do you think?? If client get their work then, at what stage client should pay: - At the end - In the middle of the project (payment for the completed tasks) - Advance payment? Please reply.
What if I am providing service like interior design? Interior design is a service that people usually just see the cost but not the value it bought. And it is always involve a huge amount of capital. Any thoughts? Nice video anyway:)
Those are some great tips, Neil. I think building your brand can help you sell services a lot. For example, just starting a youtube channel discussing your work, showcasing results and giving out some free advice can be highly beneficial to build that trust. My 5-year plan is to do the same for my own digital marketing channel and then, use it to get more clients. O:)
@@wetellstoriesca very good to see you’re still pursuing this idea, that type of conviction will get you very far in life. however you should research how to get more views and try and implement that into posting
It is fact that most people associate price with quality. high price=good quality, Apple is a perfect example, high prices for reliable good quality, compared to unknown phone manufactures, low prices=low quality. pricing services appropriately and fair, most importantly, to our customers & to ourselves (company) is one of the hardest things I've ever done while running a company, still is.... Value is subjective, we all value things differently. how do I price our plumbing, HVAC & hydro jetting services appropriately? only certain jobs should maybe be cheaper than our competition, but certainly not all of our work. Our skill & experience allows us to charge more than the other plumbers, we always take half or even less time to complete our jobs, which allows for a higher price, in my opinion. how do I find the true value to our services to each customer, every time without losing money or a customer?!?!? I need some guidance in this dept, I have a few resources I can use as a guideline but the prices seem extremely higher than I would expect, but it's scary to reveal prices to customers cause everyone always wants a great deal, I mean everyone! We want to be fair to the customer most of all, but we must profit in order to keep helping others.
Being fair is the best thing you can do. Otherwise, you can lose a customer that could have potentially stayed with you long-term. It's better to be fair and honest while charging even a little less to ensure you are able to hold on to them for a long time.
Hi neilpatel I got a question for you you say how to sell Services yet you don't give which websites you can actually do this with I'm looking for a website where I can actually sell my products and services and I can't find it now you actually sell how to sell it but you do not give the website providers of who to go to what's up with that I'm wondering
@@neilpatel Thank you so much for your reply. What I am asking is whether or not to just pick up something or learn everything. For example Facebook marketing or seo or google AdWords.
this probably falls under pricing, but tell customers if they get us a new customer and mention their name they get 35% off next visit, and all new customers get 25% off their first visit and post it on facebook twitter, yelp, website wherever you can post it
The only thing that I would love if you would mention the website where people can go to actually sell services and and products if there's a free websites like let's say such a sight like ecrater ecrater but they don't sell Services if it's such a type of a website you should mention it in the video thank you so much
Hey Neil, you really should make a summary of your points in the end of your video every time. People are not patient enough to remember everything you mention from A to Z. Give them 10 seconds of summary at the end then more people are satisfied with your suggestions.
if you are confident in your steps than make a youtube video about how you can make my company get clients and prove your right. Because i have been struggling with this for years and I have heard all these tips before but they are not effective in reality.
@@neilpatel why dont you make a youtube video as my company as a case study. To prove they work, if they work I will pay you, if they don't then I wont. Either way its a opportunity to market yourself and your busniess by showing it working in practice .. if it works
@@neilpatel any specific reason like why yoast? Cause I am in a huge confusion as rank math offers all the stuff for free while yoast SEO asks a huge payment for that

You can definitely show people what you are doing with before/after photos and videos. That helps a lot with interior design.
I guess there should be some call to action words as well at the end of a speech to convince a buyer to avail your services!
Great idea :)
These tips brought clarity to my thoughts, thanks Neil :-)
Great to hear!

Finally, thats your studens.
It can be said that whichever sector you choose in digital marketing can generate huge profit
Example
Seo
Facebook ads
Google ads
Content marketing
It is possible but it isn't likely without years of experience and hard work.
@@neilpatel Thank you so much for your reply. What I am asking is whether or not to just pick up something or learn everything. For example Facebook marketing or seo or google AdWords.
this probably falls under pricing, but tell customers if they get us a new customer and mention their name they get 35% off next visit, and all new customers get 25% off their first visit and post it on facebook twitter, yelp, website wherever you can post it
Try testing that out.
Sir please make a video on, how to manage a news website? Are these websites different from other websites?

Hi Neil, I am starting my own service based business, so what would be the first step I should do? . Is it benchmarking?
I'd start by creating a site and building a team :)
I sell on Amazon but I was using buy now plus. However ppl trust Amazon more so I want to try that instead
Try it out :)
Hey Neil, you really should make a summary of your points in the end of your video every time. People are not patient enough to remember everything you mention from A to Z. Give them 10 seconds of summary at the end then more people are satisfied with your suggestions.
There is a description in each video with just that ;)
