Testimonials
Helen rewrote our three maintenance packages so each one had a defined visit scope and exclusion list. We stopped underquoting the quarterly jobs within six weeks.Mark T. Facilities contractor, Launceston — Package Design Engagement
The positioning work took longer than I expected because we had to reconcile what two partners were actually selling. Still, the final offer sheet is the one we use in every proposal now.Sandra Wu Accounting practice, Melbourne — Package Design Engagement
Honest audit. She told us our 'premium' tier was identical to the standard one with a higher price, which was uncomfortable to hear but necessary.James Okonkwo Landscape design studio, Brisbane — Offer Audit
We implemented the pricing review recommendations gradually. Margins improved on fixed-price jobs, though we still struggle with emergency call-outs — that was outside the scope and Helen said so upfront.Claire Hendricks Electrical services, Devonport — Pricing Structure Review
Case note: Veterinary clinic service tiers
A three-vet practice in Hobart offered wellness plans, surgical quotes, and emergency visits through the same reception script. Prospects could not tell which path applied to them.
Over five weeks we separated wellness memberships from episodic care packages, wrote scope cards for reception staff, and adjusted pricing presentation so membership savings were visible without discounting surgical work.
Outcome: Membership sign-ups rose in the first quarter after launch. Surgical quote acceptance did not drop, which had been the owner's main concern.
Case note: Commercial cleaning contract types
A family cleaning business quoted every job from scratch. Site visits consumed sales time and estimates varied wildly between siblings who handled quotes.
The Package Design Engagement produced three contract types — daily office, periodic deep clean, and post-construction — each with square-metre bands and explicit add-ons for windows and consumables.
Outcome: Quote preparation time dropped from an average of four hours to under ninety minutes. Two lost tenders returned when prospects compared the clearer scope against competitors.
