Service pricing must cover delivery time, preparation, communication, tools, risk and profit—not only the hour spent with the customer. A clear Selstack service page then helps the buyer understand what that price includes.

Calculate the true delivery cost

Include preparation, admin, revisions, software, contractor costs, taxes and non-billable time. Estimate capacity realistically.

Package around an outcome

Define scope, duration, deliverables and boundaries. Offer tiers only when each one represents a meaningful customer choice.

Test the price with a focused link

Create the offer in Selstack, show it to the intended audience and track qualified questions, leads and paid orders.

Review margin and workload together

A popular offer can still be unsustainable. Compare revenue with fulfilment time, support and refunds before scaling promotion.

Review How to Price a Service for Sustainable Profit before publishing

Price from cost, capacity, scope, market evidence and target margin.

Avoid this: Do not offer unlimited revisions or copy a competitor’s price without comparing delivery models.

Create a cleaner operating system

Use Selstack orders, contacts and payments as the shared record for your team.
