0s · PublishedI first came across the idea of a "productised service" when I was listening to a podcast by Nick Disabato. The principle is easy - get the advantages of a standard product mixed with a "done-for-you" personalised service. However, while the term has been around for many years, there aren't that many people who really know what a productised service actually is - and how they can be the key to transforming your business, freeing up your time and balancing your work and home lives. So on this episode of All Work, No Pay I go through what a productised service is, how it works and why you might want one.

I need to sort out a marketing funnel and lead magnet
26m · PublishedIn a break from the normal format, just in time for Christmas, I speak to Tom Balmont about his fantastic puppet marketing business. We run through why he started the business, where he's getting stuck and where he wants it to go.
I was really nervous about this episode, because we're breaking format and I'm answering the questions. But my goal is to make people go "f**k yeah, that's really good" and I think we got there in the end, as Tom had a revelation about how he needs to present his business to the world.
So if you think your business looks boring to the outside world and you want to get some humour injected into it, get in touch with Tom at https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-t-peterson-tom-balmont-puppet-marketing-puppets

Negotiate red flags, or just say no
13m · PublishedI'm meeting them coffee again, however, I just don't think they see the value of having an experienced communications person, so they don't want to really spend a lot of time or money on the project.
Much as you'd like to help everyone, there will always be those people for whom you're not a good fit. Who have different values to you. Who work differently to you. Wouldn't it be great if you could weed the wrong 'uns out before you even get started?
Nathan Thomas, tech genius from Coded4 talks about how he spots red flags amongst his potential clients and the ever so simple strategy he uses to deal with them.
So if you're a good fit for working with Nathan and need some technical help with your online presence, get in touch with Coded4 at [email protected]
