Distro Dudes is a service-based company. It doesn??™t actually make anything; it works with
original manufacturers to ship products all over the country, designing custom distribution
schedules and pricing scales on a per-customer basis.
Most service-based businesses are fairly easy to spot??”their pricing and final deliverable is
almost always tailored for the client and the project. Here are some examples:
A legal firm always customizes its deliverable. It may range from 2 hours fighting a
speeding ticket to a 4-year corporate legal battle costing millions of dollars. No two
clients ever have the same service, and no two will ever pay the same amount
because the work is tailored on a case-by-case basis and billed by the hour.
A medical staffing company uses their industry expertise, people skills, and unique
list of contacts to get hospitals, outpatient centers, and other healthcare facilities
staffed with the best workers available. Every client is treated individually, with
their staffing holes being matched with specific skill sets of industry professionals.
