Service Portfolio Mastery

Know Every Offer, Every Price, Every Fit — Cold

You can't sell outcomes for services you don't understand. This chapter turns our three core offerings into answers you can give in 30 seconds or less.

Development$100 one-time — full design & build
Standard Hosting$20/month — hosting, maintenance & support
Business Hosting$30/month — everything in Standard + admin area

Why Product Mastery Comes First

The Strongest Rep Is the One Who Answers Instantly

When You Don't Know Your Product

  • Hesitation kills trust on the spot
  • "Let me check on that…" on basic questions
  • Missed upgrade moments you never saw
  • Wrong plan for the wrong client

When You Do

  • Instant answers build authority
  • Confident, honest recommendations
  • Natural upgrades spotted in real time
  • Faster calls → more calls per hour

Our portfolio is deliberately simple — three offerings. Simple doesn't mean shallow: mastery means knowing exactly who each one fits, and why.

Battle Card — Website Development

$100 One-Time · The Gateway Offer

What It Includes

  • Full design and build of the website
  • Made sure it works on mobile
  • Preview before launch — the preview is a starting point
  • We customize the final site for the business before it goes live
  • The client does nothing technical — ever

Who It's For

  • Any local business with no site — or an outdated one
  • Owners who want it handled end-to-end
  • Every new hosting client needs this first
  • Skeptics — the preview process lowers risk

Value framing: "The $100 is not a 'cheap website' — it's a done-for-you digital storefront, built, customized and launched for you."

"Is $100 Really Everything?"

The Preview Process Answers This Before They Ask

1. BUILD We build the website — design, structure, mobile-ready.
2. PREVIEW The client sees a preview. The preview is a starting point — not the final product.
3. CUSTOMIZE We customize the final site for their business before it goes live.
4. LAUNCH The site goes live — hosted, maintained, and supported from day one.
Official wording — memorize it: "The $100 covers the full design and build of your website. The preview is just a starting point — we customize the final site for your business before it goes live."

Battle Card — Standard Hosting

$20/Month · The Foundation Plan

What's Included

  • Professional hosting
  • Mobile-ready website
  • Core maintenance
  • Support when needed
  • Make Your Site tools

The Value Story

  • "Your site stays fast, secure and online — we handle the tech so you never think about it."
  • "When something needs fixing, a real human answers the phone."

This is the default recommendation for most local businesses — everything a standard business website needs, in one honest monthly price.

Everything in Standard, Plus

Standard vs Backend

One Question Decides: "How Often Does Your Content Change?"

FeatureStandard — $20/moBackend — $30/mo

Rarely changes → Standard. Changes weekly or more → Backend. Not sure → start where it fits: clients can move between hosting levels anytime (official policy).

Match the Plan to the Client

Our Real Client Base Shows the Pattern

Cleaning Services

  • Like Sheyla's Pro Cleaning
  • Services list rarely changes
  • Standard typically fits

Salons

  • Like Studio 47 Hair Salon
  • Services & prices change with trends
  • Backend often fits

Landscapers

  • Like DF Landscape
  • Seasonal services, growing galleries
  • Either — ask about update frequency
These are patterns, not rules — always confirm with the client's actual situation. Never assume; ask.

The Proof Portfolio

Real Clients. Real Industries. Yours to Reference.

Sheyla's Pro CleaningCleaning services — website + hosting
Studio 47 Hair SalonSalon — website + hosting
DF LandscapeLandscaping — website + hosting

How to Use Them — Ethically

  • Match the industry: "We work with salons like Studio 47…"
  • Describe the structure: real clients on website + hosting
  • Never invent numbers, quotes, or results

If They Ask for Details You Don't Have

  • Stay honest: "I can connect you with references through our team."
  • Never improvise a testimonial
  • Escalate through official channels

The Client Journey

What They Experience — and Why It Sells Itself

1. First CallTheir needs understood — not pitched at
2. PreviewThey SEE their site before launch
3. CustomizeFinal site tailored to their business
4. LaunchLive, mobile-ready, working
5. Support$20–30/mo hosting, maintenance & support

The journey is a risk-removal asset. Use it in objections: "You'll see a preview before anything goes live." Low perceived risk → easier yes.

"Can I Change Plans Later?"

Yes — And This Answer Closes Deals

The Official Policy

  • Clients can move between hosting levels
  • As their business and website needs change
  • No lock-in trap to fear

How You Use It

  • Removes the fear of choosing "wrong"
  • Makes starting easy and low-stakes
  • Opens the door to revisit fit as they grow
  • Standard today → Backend later, naturally

Fear of commitment kills more deals than price. "Start with what fits today — you can move between plans anytime" is one of your strongest closing lines.

One Ecosystem, Not Three Products

Development + Hosting = The Complete Answer

$100 DevelopmentThe asset — a website built for them
+
$20–30 HostingThe heartbeat — online, maintained, supported
=
Their Digital PresenceBuilt, alive, and backed by real people

Why Hosting Matters to the Client

  • A website without hosting doesn't exist online
  • Maintenance keeps it current and working on mobile
  • Support means a real human when needed

Why Recurring Matters to Us

  • Hosting sustains the relationship month after month
  • A well-served client refers others (Flywheel — Ch. 8)
  • A healthy recurring base = stable company = stable team

Natural Upgrade Pathways

Standard → Backend, Without Pressure

1. LISTEN FOR THE SIGNAL "I change my prices a lot." · "We keep adding services." · "I'd love to show our reviews."
2. CONNECT, DON'T PUSH "With the Backend plan, you'd update those yourself in minutes — want me to show you what that looks like?"
3. LET THEM CHOOSE Present the difference objectively — the TCI mindset. If Standard genuinely fits, say so. That honesty is what makes them trust the next recommendation.

The best upsell moment is often after delivery, when the client feels the friction of requesting every small change. On the first call: mention it once — never twice.

Stay in Your Lane

Sell What We Officially Offer — Refer Everything Else

Our Official Offerings

  • The three on the pricing page: Development, Standard, Backend
  • General digital guidance & support conversations — always fine
  • When in doubt about scope, ask the team

If They Ask for More

  • SEO campaigns, ad management, social media packages…
  • Never improvise a promise
  • Say: "That's outside what I handle personally — let me connect you with our team."
  • Official channels: (702) 372-6399 · kiara@steadyhandsop.com

One exaggerated promise can undo a hundred honest calls. Your credibility IS the company's credibility.

Objections You WILL Hear

First-Pass Responses — Full LACE Training Comes in Chapter 7

"A hundred bucks? What's the catch?"

  • "No catch — the $100 covers the full design and build. You see a preview before launch, and we customize the final site for you. Hosting starts at $20/month after that."

"Why pay monthly for hosting?"

  • "Hosting is what keeps your site online, fast and maintained — like the electricity bill of your storefront. We handle everything, and support is a phone call away."

"My nephew can build me a site."

  • "He might do a great job — and then who updates it, fixes it at 9pm, keeps it working on new phones? We're the team behind it long-term."

"I already have a website."

  • "Perfect — then you know its value. When did someone last check it on a phone? Many owners we meet are due for a refresh — a preview costs you nothing but a conversation."
These are openings, not scripts to recite. Discovery comes FIRST — you can't tailor any response before you've listened (Chapter 4).

Pricing Integrity

The Rules That Are Never Broken

Always

  • Quote official prices exactly: $100 one-time · $20/mo Standard · $30/mo Backend
  • Say hosting "starts at $20/month" when speaking generally
  • Direct "which plan?" confusion to the team

Never

  • Invent discounts or promotions
  • Quote custom or personal prices
  • Promise features that aren't listed
  • Hide that hosting is monthly

When unsure — stop, don't guess: call or text (702) 372-6399 or email kiara@steadyhandsop.com. A one-minute check protects a lifetime reputation.

The 30-Second Drill

Practice Until Every Answer Is Instant

Drill 1 — The Portfolio

  • "Describe Standard Hosting in 30 seconds."
  • Must include: $20/mo · hosting, maintenance & support · mobile-ready · Make Your Site · dashboard · support when needed

Drill 2 — The Match

  • "A restaurant owner updates his menu weekly. Which plan — and why?"
  • Backend: admin management area for content that changes more often

Drill 3 — The Preview

  • "Explain the $100 without using the word 'cheap'."
  • Full design & build · mobile-ready · preview → customize → launch

Drill 4 — The Honest Line

  • "They ask you to manage their Google Ads. What do you say?"
  • Honest referral to the team — never improvise

Chapter 3 — Summary

What You Must Walk Away With

The Portfolio

  • $100 development — one-time, preview → customize → launch
  • $20/mo Standard — hosting, maintenance, support
  • $30/mo Backend — + admin area for content that changes often
  • Plans are flexible — clients move between levels anytime

The Rules

  • Match plan to content-change frequency — ask, don't assume
  • Use real clients honestly: industry match, no invented numbers
  • Quote official prices only — "starts at $20/month"
  • Refer beyond-lane requests through official channels

Quick Check

Test Yourself Before Moving On

1. A prospect asks: "So what does the $100 actually cover?"

"Design only — the build is billed separately." "The full design and build of your website. The preview is a starting point — we customize the final site for your business before it goes live." "A basic template — customization costs extra."

This is the official wording — the preview process is your best answer to price skepticism.

2. A salon owner says she changes her service prices almost weekly. Your recommendation:

Standard — it's cheaper, and cheaper always wins Backend — the admin management area is built for content that changes more often; and plans can be changed anytime as needs evolve Neither — refer her to the team immediately

Match plan to content-change frequency. And remember: flexibility removes her fear of choosing.

3. A prospect asks you to also run their Facebook ads. You:

Are honest: "That's outside what I handle personally — let me connect you with our team" via official channels Say "Sure, we can do that" — you can figure it out later Say "We don't do anything digital" — shut it down

Never improvise promises. Never lie about scope. Refer through (702) 372-6399 / kiara@steadyhandsop.com.
