Signs You’re Offering Too Many Services
Part 2
Still not convinced that offering more services can make you lose money?
Learn more about the signs you might be doing this.
How do you tell if YOU are offering too many services? These are some of the
signs:
5. Clients always want you to do jobs you’re not prepared for.
Many people assume businesses will do anything to make money.
But if it is not a service you do all the time and can perform
it both quickly and efficiently…
Chances are you are LOSING money on that
job.
Learn how to track nonbillable time to increase profits.
Instead, you need to streamline your business by focusing on what you do best!

6. You’re not getting many referrals.
If someone asks, “What is your specialty?” You should have a clear answer and a core service in mind.
When you focus on your core services, you get really good at them – and
people will take notice.
7. Leads get overwhelmed
with choices and end up going
elsewhere
If you throw all of your services into your prospects’ faces, they get overwhelmed.
Let them know what
you do best, and leave it at
that.
8. You’re not making the money you should be.
What if you have a pest
control tech, but you don’t have enough work to keep him busy full
time?
What if you offer a carpet cleaning
service, but it takes you three times longer to clean
carpets than any other task?
What if you’re a landscaper, and someone asks you to mow
because you’re already there?
You could be losing money
every time you work outside of
your core services.
If you haven’t spent thousands of hours perfecting each and every
new service, you likely don’t have a handle on how long it takes, how much it costs, and how to make
performing it more efficient.
Without those
answers, you are
probably losing
money on that service.
Pricing is hard, and new services are something that you should add slowly and only after much research.
