What does the work involve?
Turn a repeatable service into a fixed-scope, fixed-price product. Same deliverable every time, AI-assisted delivery, clients buy from a menu instead of negotiating custom proposals.. The first goal is to deliver one useful result for a specific customer, then learn from their response.
- Identify your most repeatable service deliverable
- Define fixed scope, timeline, and price for 3 tiers
- Build AI-assisted delivery workflow for speed
- Launch with a simple landing page and Stripe checkout
- Scale by reducing delivery time and adding new productized offers
Skills to bring or practice
Service Delivery · Process Design · AI Workflow Building · Sales
Foundation — example tasks
Use these as planning prompts. Targets and deliverables are goals, not promised outcomes.
- Choose and scope your productized service
Pick the service you deliver most often with the most consistent scope. Define exactly what is included, what is excluded, turnaround time, and revision policy. Write it down as a one-page scope doc. Examples: landing page design, SEO audit, email sequence, brand identity.
- Build your AI-assisted delivery workflow
Map out every step of delivering the service. For each step, identify where AI can assist: research, first drafts, copy, design variations, QA. Build prompt templates and Zapier automations for each AI-assisted step.
- Create landing page and checkout
Build a simple landing page that explains exactly what the client gets, shows the 3 pricing tiers, and links to Stripe Checkout. Include FAQ section addressing common objections. You do not need a full website — one page is enough.
- Build client intake and delivery system
Create a Google Form or Typeform for client intake (what they need, brand guidelines, examples they like). Set up a delivery workflow in Notion: intake → production → review → delivery. Add email templates for each stage.

- Launch founding client campaign
Announce your productized service on LinkedIn and Twitter/X. Offer 50% off for the first 5 clients in exchange for a testimonial. This creates urgency and gets you social proof fast.
- DM 20 potential clients directly
Identify 20 people who recently complained about agency costs, asked for freelancer recs, or showed need for your deliverable. Send a personalized DM with your offer and founding client discount.
- Deliver first 3 orders using your AI workflow
Execute your AI-assisted delivery workflow for each client order. Time yourself. Document any bottlenecks. Your goal is to deliver each project in under 5 hours of active work.
- Collect testimonials and refine process
Ask each founding client for a written or video testimonial. Add to your landing page. Note any delivery improvements — update your SOP and prompt templates based on real experience.
Who could you help first?
