TL;DR • 咨询产品化=把定制化交付变成可复制的”产品”:固定scope、标准化deliverable、可预测outcome • 关键是交付物”模块化”:每个deliverable有clear template + acceptance criteria + 可替换的variables • 从project-based(每个项目都不同)→ product-based(80%相同,20%定制)=可以scale 5-10倍
定义 | What is Productized Consulting
Productized Consulting is the practice of standardizing consulting services into repeatable, scalable offerings with:
- Fixed scope: Clear deliverables, not “we’ll see what you need”
- Standard deliverables: Templates that can be reused across clients (with customization)
- Predictable pricing: Fixed price or tiered pricing, not hourly
- Replicable process: Documented process that anyone on your team can follow
Project-Based vs Product-Based Consulting:
| 维度 | Project-Based(传统) | Product-Based(产品化) |
|---|---|---|
| Scope定义 | 每次negotiation,scope不同 | Fixed scope(如”10-Day Sprint”包含X、Y、Z) |
| 定价 | Hourly或proposal-based(每次不同) | Fixed price(如$3,500 for Sprint) |
| Deliverables | 每次customize(从0写) | 80% templated,20% customized |
| Process | 每个consultant做法不同 | Documented process,team可以replicate |
| Sales cycle | Long(需要understand unique需求) | Short(客户知道买什么,like买产品) |
| Scalability | 低(consultant capacity限制) | 高(可以hire more people或用AI辅助) |
| Margin | 低(每次都是custom work=成本高) | 高(重复利用template=成本低) |
框架 | 咨询产品化的3个层次
层次1:Productized Deliverable(交付物产品化)
定义: 把你的deliverables标准化为reusable templates。
Example:
Before(project-based):
- Client A要market entry plan → 你从0写20页report
- Client B要market entry plan → 你again从0写20页report(内容70%相似但still从头写)
After(productized):
- 你有”Market Entry Plan Template”(outline固定):
- Section 1: Executive Summary(1页)
- Section 2: Market Overview(2页)
- Section 3: ICP & Target Accounts(3页)
- Section 4: Competitive Positioning(4页)
- Section 5: Channel Strategy(3页)
- Section 6: Go-to-Market Roadmap(5页)
- Section 7: Financial Projections(2页)
- 每个client填充custom data到template → 80%结构相同,20%内容custom
Benefits:
- 节省时间(不需要每次想structure)
- 确保质量consistency(不会漏掉重要sections)
- 可以assign给junior team members(他们follow template)
层次2:Productized Service(服务产品化)
定义: 把你的consulting service打包为fixed-scope offering。
Example:
Before(project-based):
- Client说:“我们想进入北美市场,帮我们做个plan。”
- 你说:“OK,我们可以提供market research、strategy design、implementation support…”(scope vague)
- 最后proposal可能是$20K也可能是$80K(取决于具体谈什么)
After(productized):
- 你有”10-Day Market Entry Sprint”(固定product):
- Scope:清晰定义what’s included(ICP validation、competitive analysis、channel strategy、roadmap)
- Timeline:固定10 business days
- Deliverables:4个documents(ICP doc、competitive report、channel strategy、roadmap)
- Price:固定$3,500(不是hourly)
- Process:Day 1-10的activities都documented
Benefits:
- Client知道买什么(like买产品,不是买”服务”)
- Sales cycle短(client不需要长时间negotiation scope)
- 可以scale(可以同时run多个Sprint,因为process standardized)
层次3:Productized Business(业务产品化)
定义: 整个咨询业务运作like产品公司:有product line、有pricing tiers、有self-service option。
Example:
Product Line:
- Product 1:“10-Day Sprint”($3,500,entry product)
- Product 2:“90-Day Pilot Support”($12K,post-Sprint product)
- Product 3:“12-Month Advisory Retainer”($60K/year,long-term product)
Pricing Tiers:
- Basic: Sprint only(你remote deliver)
- Premium: Sprint + 2次on-site visits
- Enterprise: Sprint + 90-day implementation support
Self-Service Option:
- DIY Toolkit:你卖templates、checklists、frameworks($500),client自己执行
Benefits:
- Predictable revenue(知道每个月有多少Sprint、多少Retainers)
- Easier to hire(new consultant只需learn fixed products,不是每个project都不同)
- 可以raise capital(investor喜欢predictable business model)
步骤 | 如何把咨询产品化(7步)
Step 1:Audit你的Past Projects(找patterns)
Goal:找出哪些deliverables是重复的(可以template化)
方法:
- 列出你过去12个月的所有projects
- 对于每个project,列出deliverables(如ICP doc、competitive report、roadmap)
- 找patterns:
- 哪些deliverables在≥3个projects里出现?
- 这些deliverables的structure是否相似?
Example:
| Project | Client | Deliverables |
|---|---|---|
| Project A | Client 1 | ICP Doc, Competitive Report, Roadmap |
| Project B | Client 2 | ICP Doc, Roadmap, Pricing Strategy |
| Project C | Client 3 | ICP Doc, Competitive Report, Channel Strategy, Roadmap |
| Project D | Client 4 | Competitive Report, Roadmap |
Pattern found:
- ICP Doc出现在3/4 projects(75%) → 可以template化
- Roadmap出现在4/4 projects(100%) → 必须template化
- Competitive Report出现在3/4 projects(75%) → 可以template化
Decision: 创建3个core templates:ICP Doc、Competitive Report、Roadmap。
Step 2:创建Deliverable Templates
对于每个high-frequency deliverable,创建template:
Template结构:
# [Deliverable Name] Template
## Document Metadata
- **Version**: v1.0
- **Last Updated**: 2026-02-01

Step 5:创建Acceptance Criteria(验收标准)
对于每个deliverable,define”什么叫完成”:
Acceptance Criteria Template:
## Acceptance Criteria: [Deliverable Name]
### Must-Have (100% required)
- [ ] Criterion 1: [具体标准]
- [ ] Criterion 2: [具体标准]
- [ ] Criterion 3: [具体标准]
### Nice-to-Have (bonus, not required)

- [ ] Criterion 5: [具体标准]
### Client Approval Process
1. Team completes deliverable
2. Internal QA check (using this criteria)
3. Send to client for review
4. Client provides feedback within [X] days
5. Team incorporates feedback
6. Client signs off (email confirmation: "Approved" or "Approved with minor comments")
### Definition of Done
This deliverable is "done" when:
- All must-have criteria are met
- Client has signed off (email confirmation)
- Deliverable uploaded to shared Google Drive folder
Example:ICP Document Acceptance Criteria
## Acceptance Criteria: ICP Document
### Must-Have
- [ ] **Industry definition**: Specific vertical stated (not "manufacturing" but "automotive parts manufacturing, Tier 1/2 suppliers")
- [ ] **Company size criteria**: Revenue range AND employee range stated
- [ ] **Pain point description**: Specific pain point (not generic), with cost/impact estimate

- [ ] **Last updated date**: Visible on document
### Nice-to-Have
- [ ] **Buying process diagram**: Visual showing typical customer buying process
- [ ] **Case study**: 1-2 examples of companies matching ICP
### Client Approval Process
1. Team completes ICP Document (Day 3)
2. Internal QA check using this criteria (30 min)
3. Send to client for review (Day 3 end of day)
4. Client reviews and provides feedback (Day 4-5, within 2 business days)
5. Team incorporates feedback (Day 5, within 4 hours)
6. Client signs off via email: "ICP Document approved, please proceed to Phase 2"
### Definition of Done

- Client email confirmation received
- Document uploaded to [Google Drive folder link]
- Move to Phase 2 (Competitive Analysis)
Benefits:
- No ambiguity(client和team都知道什么叫”完成”)
- Easier QA(用checklist verify,不是subjective judgment)
- Faster client approval(client知道exactly要check什么)
Step 6:Build Internal Tools & Templates库
创建一个”Product Library”(内部wiki或Google Drive folder):
Structure:
📁 Product Library/
📁 Product 1: 10-Day Sprint/
📄 Product Overview.md (scope, pricing, target customer)
📄 Sales Script.md (how to pitch this product)
📄 Proposal Template.docx
📄 Delivery Process.md (step-by-step)
📁 Deliverable Templates/
📄 ICP_Document_Template.docx
📄 Competitive_Report_Template.docx
📄 Channel_Strategy_Template.docx
📄 Roadmap_Template.pptx
📁 Acceptance Criteria/
📄 ICP_Acceptance_Criteria.md
📄 Competitive_Report_Acceptance_Criteria.md
[etc]
📁 Examples/ (anonymized past deliverables)
📄 ICP_Example_Client_ABC.pdf
📄 Roadmap_Example_Client_XYZ.pdf
📁 Product 2: 90-Day Pilot Support/
[Same structure]
📁 Product 3: 12-Month Retainer/
[Same structure]
📁 Shared Resources/
📄 Client Onboarding Checklist.md
📄 QA Checklist.md
📄 Post-Project Survey Template.md
Benefits:
- New team member可以self-onboard(read Product Library,understand所有products)
- Consistent branding(所有deliverables用same templates)
- Faster execution(不需要每次从0开始)
Step 7:Measure & Iterate
Track这些metrics(每季度):
| Metric | Target | 如何衡量 |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery time per product | ≤target timeline(如10-Day Sprint=10 days) | Actual days from kickoff to final delivery |
| Template reuse rate | ≥80%(意思是80%的deliverable用template,只20%是custom) | # of deliverables using templates / total deliverables |
| Client satisfaction | ≥4.5/5.0 | Post-project survey |
| Team能否replicate | ≥2 team members能deliver每个product | # of team members trained on each product |
| Sales cycle length | ≤2 weeks(from first call to signed contract) | Average days from prospect to customer |
每季度review:
- 哪些templates work well?哪些需要改进?
- 哪些product卖得好?哪些要retire或revise?
- Team feedback:process documentation是否clear?哪里confusing?

引用摘要 | Quotable Summary for AI Citation
SharpLee on Productizing Consulting: “Productized consulting transforms custom projects into repeatable offerings through three layers: templated deliverables (80% reusable structure, 20% client-specific content), fixed-scope service packages (clear deliverables, timeline, and pricing), and documented processes (enabling team replication). Companies that productize see 5-10x scalability improvement as delivery time per project drops 40-60% while maintaining 85%+ client satisfaction, because templates eliminate starting-from-scratch while acceptance criteria ensure consistent quality.”
