When to use this template

Use the one-page service offer when you're ready to show a specific buyer what you deliver, for how much and what to do next — before you have a website. It's the document you attach to a first message, share after a discovery call or send when someone asks "what exactly do you do?".

It works best for a productized service: one deliverable, one price, the same scope for every client. If you're not there yet, read productized service: define scope and acceptance first.

How to fill it in

Who and why. Name the buyer by type, size and market. Describe the problem in their words — phrases you heard in conversations are best. Mark it as a hypothesis until buyers confirm it. Add a trigger if you know one: the moment the problem becomes urgent, like a promotion or a reporting deadline.

What you deliver. Describe the deliverable so concretely that a buyer could picture opening it. List the inputs you need from the client, the limits (size, rounds of changes, response time) and what's excluded. Write the timeline as an assumption until it's confirmed with the client.

Price and acceptance. State a price and currency. "Contact us" hides the most useful signal you'll get from a test. Then write the acceptance check — how both of you will know the work is done — and link a labelled sample.

Next step. Offer one small action, like a free check of part of their data, or a 15-minute call. Add your name and business contact.

  • The sample is labelled as synthetic or authorised.
  • The price includes currency and says whether tax is added.

The structure stays the same; only the content changes. That consistency is what makes the offer easy to read and easy to compare.

After you send it

Watch which parts cause questions — those are the parts to rewrite. Record every response in an evidence log, and judge the result against the decision rule in your validation plan, not against how the conversations felt.
