This is not a passive resource. This is a working session - in document form. By the time you finish, you will have a Tier 0 offer that is named, priced, scoped, and ready to sell.
Move through each module in order. Don't skip ahead. The build sections require you to complete work in real time - have a notebook or open a Google Doc alongside this resource.
Understand where Tier 0 sits in the 7-FigurED® Offers Framework and why it matters at every stage.
Learn the 5 criteria that make a Tier 0 offer strong - then audit your ideas against each one.
Select from 5 Tier 0 offer types and brainstorm the specific offer that fits your expertise.
Complete the Tier 0 Offer Builder to name, scope, price, and package your offer.
Leave with a 4-step sales strategy to get paid this week - before you build a single thing.
Most educator-consultants build from the top down - they start with a big, high-touch program and wonder why the pipeline is slow. The 7-FigurED® Offers Framework builds from the bottom up. Tier 0 is the foundation everything else stands on.
/ˈak·ses/ (noun)
How close clients get to you, your team, and your intellectual property.
Price follows access. The more access a client gets to you - your time, your team, your custom thinking - the higher the price. Tier 0 is deliberately low access, which means you can deliver it 1-to-many, protect your bandwidth, and sell it at a price that removes the barrier to entry for your ideal client.

Every stage of the E-Scale® has a reason to have a Tier 0 offer - but the purpose changes.
Your first Tier 0 is a low-risk client attraction tool. The goal is quick revenue, fast feedback, and building your belief that people will actually pay you.
You've found your signature service, but you're customizing everything. Tier 0 becomes your structured entry point - so you stop saying yes to one-offs.
At scale, Tier 0 is a lead engine - attracting cold prospects, nurturing them intentionally, and ascending them through your full offer suite.
📌 Reflection Prompt
Where are you on the E-Scale® right now? What is the primary purpose of a Tier 0 offer at your stage - proof of concept, structure, or scale?
Write your answer in your workbook before moving to Module 2.
Solves ONE clear problem. Not "I help with leadership." Rather: "I help new principals build a 90-day transition plan."
Tied to a "right now" need. The client feels this problem today - they're not planning for next year. Urgency drives quick buying decisions.
A tangible result by the end. The client should be able to walk away with something they didn't have before - a plan, a tool, a decision, a framework.
Hours, not months. A Tier 0 should not consume your bandwidth. If it takes more than a few hours to deliver, it's probably a Tier 1.
Price + clarity removes friction. The prospect should understand immediately what they're getting and feel the price is a no-brainer entry point.
Vague. No specific problem. No clear outcome. Hard to price confidently.
Specific. Time-bound. Clear outcome. Urgent problem. Easy yes.
MODULE 03
Type 01
60 minutes max · 1-to-1 or small group
You come in, assess, and give focused strategic direction. The deliverable is clarity - priority actions, a plan, or a clear next step.
Type 02
90 min - 3 hours · hands-on build session
You work alongside the client to produce something tangible. They don't just learn - they leave with a completed deliverable.
Type 03
90 min - 2 hours · you do the work, they receive the asset
You create something specific for the client based on their context. They pay for your expertise in execution - not just your thinking.
Type 04
3+ hours · professional development format
A structured training delivered to a group. Lower access to you, but high value through content delivery and group experience.
Type 05
Ongoing lite support - async delivery
Scalable assets that deliver value without consuming your time. Also includes light-touch access packages with limited but ongoing proximity.
📌 Reflection Prompt
Which of the 5 types feels most natural for where you are right now? Which one could you deliver this week without building anything new?
MODULE 04
Tier 0 lives under $2,000. Within that range, where you price depends on the depth of transformation and the time required to deliver.
Strategy calls, quick-turnaround audits, single templates or tools. Fast to deliver, fast to buy.
Intensives, workshops, DFY lite deliverables. Client experiences real change or leaves with a built asset.
Full-day sessions, comprehensive deliverables, access packages. Premium but still low-touch at the Tier 0 ceiling.
💡 Remember: price is tied to access. Tier 0 = least access. If you're spending 6+ hours on something, you've drifted into Tier 1 territory - and you should price it there.
Complete every field. This is your working document.
Who is your ideal client for this Tier 0 offer?
e.g., New principals in urban districts...

○ Strategy Session
○ Done-With-You Intensive

How long will this take to deliver?
e.g., 60-minute session / half-day (4 hours) / 2-week async sprint...
What is the tangible outcome or deliverable the client walks away with?
e.g., A completed 30-day instructional leadership plan, ready to implement Day 1...
What is NOT included? (Defining the boundary protects your time.)
e.g., Does not include follow-up support, implementation coaching, or revisions after delivery...
A strong Tier 0 offer name tells the client exactly what they're getting and when. Use this formula:
YOUR OFFER NAME FORMULA [Time or Format] e.g., 90-Minute + [Specific Service] e.g., Offer Audit + "to help you" [Clear Outcome] e.g., name, price & package your first consulting offer
Write your offer name here:
e.g., Half-Day Data Workshop to help your teachers build a data-driven reteach plan...
Read it back. Can someone who doesn't know you understand exactly what this is in one sentence? If not - simplify.
Check off each criterion before you finalize your offer. If you can't check it - go back and revise.
Specific - This offer solves ONE clear, named problem for ONE specific client.
Urgent - My client feels this problem right now. I could send this offer today and someone would say yes.
Outcome-Based - The client walks away with something tangible. I can name exactly what that is.
Fast to Deliver - I can deliver this in hours, not days or weeks.
Easy to Say Yes To - The price is under $2K and the offer is clear enough that someone doesn't need to get on a call to understand it.
Based on the pricing guidance, where does your offer fall?
○ $200-$500 (Quick Win)
○ $500-$1,500 (Deeper Transformation)
○ $1,500-$2,000 (VIP/Intensive)

Is this price a no-brainer for your client? If it makes you cringe to say it out loud - you may be underpricing. If you're scared to send it - you may be overpricing for Tier 0. Aim for the sweet spot.
A Tier 0 offer is only as powerful as your willingness to sell it. Here's how you move your offer from idea to income - this week.
These are warm leads who already trust you. Start here - not with cold strangers.
No broad posts. No waiting to build an audience. Just reach out personally to 10-15 people.
Urgency is not manipulation. It's structure. It helps your client make a decision.
The biggest mistake is spending weeks building something no one has paid for yet.
🖤 The goal of Tier 0 is not perfection. The goal is getting into the market, getting paid, and learning what your clients actually need - so your Tier 1 and Tier 2 are built on real data, not assumptions.
Use this template as a starting point. Fill in the blanks and personalize it before you send.
