Retainer offer and acquisition review tutorial
A week 4 tutorial for test repeatability through one inspectable output.
When this is the right output
Use this when one case exists and you need to decide whether to keep selling the service.
Prepare before you start
- One case or sample that can be shown
- A second target-user batch or distribution channel
- A decision rule for continuing, narrowing, or stopping next month
Build the first version
Package the case
Turn the strongest result into a case your target users can understand.
Prepare a second batch
Choose a similar audience or channel instead of changing direction.
Run distribution
Use the same case to test hooks, channels, or outreach.
Make the decision
Use pilots, payments, subscribers, bookings, or clear needs to decide next month.
Copy-ready templates
Case opening
I used [method] to help [audience] handle [problem] and produce [result]. Now I am testing whether it fits similar cases.
Second-batch outreach
I just finished a small case close to your situation and would like to know whether it could solve [problem] for your team too.
How to decide the next step
Continue when
- The second batch creates 2 pilot or paid intents
- Someone discusses a retainer or ongoing service
- You can explain acquisition cost and next step
Change direction when
- The second batch creates no clear demand.
- The case only convinces the original customer.
- You still cannot name the acquisition source.
Return to the result after you finish this output
In week four, use the case to reach a second batch and test repeatable acquisition or retainers.
