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:

  1. Fixed scope: Clear deliverables, not “we’ll see what you need”
  2. Standard deliverables: Templates that can be reused across clients (with customization)
  3. Predictable pricing: Fixed price or tiered pricing, not hourly
  4. 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 cycleLong(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:

  1. 列出你过去12个月的所有projects
  2. 对于每个project,列出deliverables(如ICP doc、competitive report、roadmap)
  3. 找patterns:
    • 哪些deliverables在≥3个projects里出现?
    • 这些deliverables的structure是否相似?

Example:

ProjectClientDeliverables
Project AClient 1ICP Doc, Competitive Report, Roadmap
Project BClient 2ICP Doc, Roadmap, Pricing Strategy
Project CClient 3ICP Doc, Competitive Report, Channel Strategy, Roadmap
Project DClient 4Competitive 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
- **Typical Length**: [X] pages
- **Completion Time**: [Y] hours

## Purpose
[1-2句话说明这个deliverable的目的]

## Outline (固定sections)

### Section 1: [Section Name]
**Content:**
- [Bullet point 1]
- [Bullet point 2]
**Variables to fill:**
- {client_name}
- {client_industry}
- {specific_data_point}
**Typical length:** [X] paragraphs or pages

### Section 2: [Section Name]
[Same structure]

## Variable List
[List all variables that need to be customized for each client]

## Quality Checklist
- [ ] All {variables} replaced with client-specific data
- [ ] Data sources cited (if applicable)
- [ ] Client feedback incorporated (if draft stage)
- [ ] Proofread for typos and consistency
- [ ] Formatted per brand guidelines

Example Template:ICP Document

# ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) Document Template

- Completion Time: 4-6 hours (with research)

## Purpose
Define the target customer profile for {client_name}'s {target_market} market entry, based on market research and customer interviews.

## Outline

### Section 1: ICP Definition
**Content:**
- Industry/Vertical: {target_industry}
- Company Size: {revenue_range} revenue, {employee_range} employees
- Geographic Focus: {geographic_regions}
- Pain Point: {primary_pain_point}

**Variables to fill:**
- {must_have_criteria_1}, {must_have_criteria_2}, etc.
- {nice_to_have_criteria}
- {red_flags}

**Typical length:** 1 page

### Section 3: Target Account List
**Content:**
Table of 50-100 companies matching ICP criteria:
| Company Name | Industry | Size | Location | Fit Score | Notes |
|--------------|----------|------|----------|-----------|-------|
| {company_1} | {industry_1} | {size_1} | {location_1} | {score_1} | {notes_1} |
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |

**Typical length:** 2 pages (or separate Excel file)

### Section 4: Validation & Next Steps
**Content:**

Time saved:

  • Before template:每次写ICP doc需要4-6小时
  • After template:fill variables需要2-3小时(节省50%)

Step 3:定义Fixed Service Packages

把你的services打包为3-5个fixed offerings:

Package设计原则:

  1. Clear naming:像产品一样命名(不是”Consulting Services”)
  2. Fixed scope:exactly包含什么deliverables
  3. Fixed timeline:多久完成
  4. Fixed price:不是hourly
  5. Tiered options:提供3个tier(Good/Better/Best)

Example:

## Our Product Line

  • Sales conversation focused on”which product fits you”(不是”what do you need”)
  • Easier to upsell(Sprint → Pilot Support → Retainer)

Step 4:Document你的Delivery Process

对于每个product,document step-by-step process:

Process Documentation Template:

## [Product Name] Delivery Process

### Pre-Delivery(签约前)
**Step 1: Sales/Discovery Call** (30 min)
- Qualify client (do they fit target customer profile?)
- Explain product scope
- Answer questions
- Send proposal if qualified

**Step 2: Proposal Sent** (client reviews 3-7 days)

## Team Assignments
| Task | Owner | Backup |
|------|-------|--------|
| Sales call | [Person A] | [Person B] |
| Kickoff | [Person A] | [Person B] |
| ICP research | [Person C] | [Person D] |
| Competitive analysis | [Person C] | [Person D] |
| Final presentation | [Person A] | [Person B] |

## Quality Gates
- [ ] Client sign-off on ICP (before moving to Phase 2)
- [ ] Client approval on competitive report (before moving to Phase 3)
- [ ] Client approval on final roadmap (before final payment)

Benefits:

  • 任何team member可以deliver这个product(不依赖founder)
  • Consistent quality(everyone follows same process)
  • Easier to train new hires

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 4: [具体标准]
- [ ] 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
- [ ] **Budget range**: Specific $ range (e.g., "$100K-300K annual budget")
- [ ] **Decision maker title**: Specific title (e.g., "VP Operations" not "decision maker")
- [ ] **Target account list**: ≥50 companies listed in table format
- [ ] **Fit scores**: Each company has fit score (1-10 scale) with brief justification
- [ ] **Data sources**: Interview findings cited (if interviews conducted) or desk research sources listed
- [ ] **Document length**: 2-4 pages (not too short, not too long)
- [ ] **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
- All 10 must-have criteria checked ✅
- 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):

MetricTarget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≥4.5/5.0Post-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.”
