The Five Types of Self-Services Tools

If you want to take advantage of the “seller-free” phenomenon that’s happening and will continue to happen in the world of buyers, your business should be considering five main self-service tools and experiences for your website visitors.

Self-Assessment

Often found in the form of quizzes or questionnaires, self-assessment tools stand out as a powerful yet simple way to answer a major question buyers often have: “Where do I stand?”

Self-Selection

Self-selection tool often starts with a simple question as well: What is the best _____________ for me?

Self-Configurator

Most known for designing/building physical products, self-configurator tools are meant to take something that is abstract in the buyer’s mind and make it feel more concrete

Self-Scheduling

Self-Scheduling tools offer potential clients a straightforward way to book appointments based on their availability and preferences

Self-Pricing

Self-pricing tools, in other words “pricing calculators,” are designed to answer the question EVERY buyer wants to know -- How much is it?
