Package Your Services For Scale

In order for a services organization to reach sustainable and scalable revenue growth, the delivery arm needs to implement services portfolio management to feed crucial information to sales and marketing. Without this, Service Providers can be greatly hindering their ability to drive sustainable revenue.

By taking the time to document and package your services for internal and external consumption, it gives you the foundation needed for scale. From sales and marketing enablement to future portfolio planning, the outcomes of the workshop will set up your Delivery, Sales, and Marketing teams for success.

What to Expect

We bring together Delivery, Sales, and Marketing to review all aspects of current service offerings and any future considerations.  The outcome of the workshop will provide sales and marketing with a clear understanding of your services as well as create a starting point for services portfolio planning.  Workshops can be done in person or virtually.

Our discussions will lead to documented answers to questions like:

  • What are your core services and how are you different?

  • How do your core services map to your business strategy?

  • What business impact do you create for your customers?

Pre-Work

An Alveo consultant will work with the core team to understand the internal team structure, existing service offerings, and review existing win/loss and customer information to customize the workshop specifically to your business.

Day 1

On Day 1, we will bring together all parties to document and organize your core business using a taxonomy structure and capture differentiation, competition, and future service considerations.  

Day 2

On Day 2, we will deep dive into each service offering or practice to create clear definitions, identify key features, understand benefits and outcomes, and capture potential objections and qualification criteria. 

Final Deliverable

After the workshop, Alveo will deliver a comprehensive summary of the workshop sessions. Alveo will also provide recommended next steps, including an action
plan, to assist your organization in implementing the findings.

 

"Forces you to think about and articulate the things that you put off. It's a big time commitment but the outputs helped us accelerate several different initiatives that hit roadblocks internally. We're finally back on track."
