Offer Designer
'I'm a web designer' is a commodity. 'I help SaaS startups redesign their marketing sites to convert 40% more trial signups, in 6 weeks, for £15K' is an offer. The Offer Designer turns vague service descriptions into structured offers — named, priced on value, with a transformation specific enough that the right client says yes without comparing you to four other people.
What this skill does
Selling deliverables invites price comparison. Selling outcomes invites a yes/no decision based on whether the ROI makes sense. The shift sounds simple and isn't — it requires articulating a specific transformation, naming the buyer narrowly enough that wrong-fit people deselect themselves, building the offer stack so the perceived value is well above the price, naming the offer so it's referrable, and pricing on value rather than time. The skill runs all seven steps in order.
Step one is the transformation — from a painful current state to a desirable future one, specific enough that the buyer recognises themselves in both halves. Step two defines the ideal buyer, including the trigger event (what just happened that makes them need this now) and the disqualifiers (who this is explicitly not for). Step three builds the offer stack — core deliverable, supporting deliverables, your named framework, bonuses, and risk reversal. The 10x rule applies: total perceived value should exceed the price by an order of magnitude, not through inflation but through actual design of what's included.
Step four names the offer. A named offer is stickier, more referral-friendly, and feels more premium than "my consulting." Step five prices it — based on the outcome value (10-20% of what the transformation is worth to the client in 12 months), checked against what the audience can pay, validated against your delivery cost. Step six writes the offer statement: "I help [buyer] achieve [transformation] through [named offer], in [timeframe], for [price]." Step seven structures the sales page or pitch with the eight-section flow that handles objections in the right order — problem, why it persists, solution, process, proof, investment, risk reversal, CTA.
Before launch, the skill recommends cheap validation — the DM test (describe the offer to five people, three "I'd buy that" reactions = signal), the waitlist test (simple page, count signups from targeted traffic), the price test (quote three prospects, calibrate from their reactions), and the beta test (first three to five at a founding rate in exchange for case studies). If all three prospects say yes immediately, you're probably underpriced — the skill says so rather than letting you ship the price.
When this triggers
- ·You quote per-hour and clients keep comparing your number to cheaper freelancers
- ·You've been told to 'productise' and don't know how to actually do it
- ·Your sales calls feel like persuasion when they should be qualification
- ·You can't name your offer — it's just 'my consulting' or 'my packages'
- ·You suspect you're underpriced but raising the rate feels arbitrary without value framing
Example
Trigger
User: 'I'm a fractional CMO for B2B SaaS. Charge £6K/month retainer. Want to package it better.'
Output
CORE TRANSFORMATION: From: founder-led growth that's plateaued; no marketing operating system; channels tried, none working consistently. To: a working growth engine producing 30+ qualified pipeline opportunities/month within 90 days, on auto-pilot. NAMED OFFER: The 90-Day Growth Engine OFFER STACK: 1. Core: 90-day fractional CMO engagement, weekly leadership sessions, hands-on channel build-out. 2. Supporting: full audit (week 1), GTM scorecard, channel experiments framework, weekly executive briefing. 3. Framework: the GROWTH method (your IP — named, structured). 4. Bonus: 30-day post-engagement Slack access, hiring brief template for first in-house marketer. 5. Risk reversal: if pipeline doesn't 2x by day 90, we work free for 30 days more until it does. PRICE: £22K for 90 days (vs £18K at old £6K/mo). Justified at ~10% of estimated outcome value (£200K+ new pipeline value in year 1).
