Productization has emerged as a method for marketing and selling services to clients who lack the time and resources to perform in-house functions. The process involves multiple service levels that businesses can choose based on their capabilities. How can you productize your services and determine an ideal offering?

Productization veteran Eisha Armstrong says the most common method of productizing your services involves systemizing service delivery by implementing technology and packaging and pricing your offers like products. You can also promote one-time offerings like educational courses and books or product-as-a-service offers like software that performs specific business functions. Most businesses observe significant growth after implementing the first productization process, whereas others observe opportunities to diversify by bundling products and services.
