How to make predictable $5-10K months as a B2B service provider

 
 

Do you feel like you’re always on the income rollercoaster, as a B2B service provider?

It’s like one month you’ve got clients, and the moment you offboard them, you’re scrambling to find more! 

You’re not alone.

Countless virtual assistants, social media managers, copywriters, and designers face these challenges, despite being experts in their niché. 

I’ve been there before too. I thought that if I created a website and marketed a bit on Instagram, the clients would come. But they didn’t. 

And even when they occasionally did, I’d find myself spending hours creating custom proposals for them and going back and negotiating back and forth on price. It was exhausting, to say the least.

That was until I changed my entire approach to getting clients and getting those clients to keep working with me.

The secret? Retainers.

In this blog post, I’m going to dive into how myself and my clients have been able to create predictable $5-10K months as B2B service providers using retainer services. Let’s dive in!


But first, what is a retainer service?

It's like having a monthly subscription to DFY services. Essentially, it is a pre-arranged list of services and price point in which the service recurs on a weekly, monthly, quarterly basis until the client or contractor render services.
For example: Inbox management, blog management, a quarterly brand photo subscription, graphic design for social media, IG management & more✨
The goal of a retainer service is to have a no brainer price point and amazing service so that the client continues to renew every single month.

Why is a retainer service the better option?

  • Steady Cash Flow: Enjoy a reliable income stream, say goodbye to the financial rollercoaster.

  • Predictable Schedule: No more last-minute scrambles – plan your workload and maintain a healthier work-life balance.

  • Deep Client Relationships: Retainers foster lasting connections, turning clients into long-term collaborators.

  • Efficiency Boost: Streamline your workflow by working with familiar clients and projects, minimizing the learning curve.

  • Reduced Marketing Hustle: Spend less time chasing new clients and more time enhancing the experience for your current ones.

  • Flexibility: Adapt to changes in your business without worrying about drastic income fluctuations.


Is a retainer service right for you?

  • I find it works best usually for b2b service providers or service providers that offer a service in which the client would want to continue coming back. Turning this service into a retainer means they could get a slightly cheaper rate or bonuses for retaining with you.
