Why Most Small Businesses Struggle With Follow-Up (And How to Fix It) Many business owners believe they have a lead generation problem. Sometimes they do. But more often, they have a follow-up problem. Leads come in. People ask questions. Prospects visit the website. Someone fills out a form. A referral…

Why Every Business Should Create Its Own Product, Good, or Service
Episode 681 of The TerryWilson3.com Podcast
Every business needs customers. Every business needs attention. Every business needs a reason for people to choose them instead of everyone else in the marketplace.
But here is the problem: when your business looks, sounds, and offers the same thing as everyone else, you eventually get forced into one of the worst positions in business.
You start competing on price instead of value.
That is why in Episode 681 of the podcast, I talk about why every company, business owner, entrepreneur, agency, church, consultant, realtor, insurance agent, and service provider should seriously consider creating their own unique product, good, or service.
Not because you need another complicated thing to manage.
But because a unique offer gives you leverage.
It helps you stand out. It creates value. It positions you differently. It gives your audience a reason to raise their hand and pay attention.
The Marketplace Rewards Unique Value
People are not just looking for another business. They are looking for a solution.
When you create a unique product or service around the problem your audience already has, you stop sounding like another salesperson and start becoming a resource.
That is the real advantage.
A product does not have to be something you manufacture in a warehouse. A product can be:
- A software tool
- A checklist
- A training program
- A consulting package
- A service bundle
- A calculator
- A lead magnet
- A membership
- A branded system
- A repeatable process
At its core, a product is simply a repeatable solution to a real problem.
And once you learn how to package what you know, what you do, or what your market needs, you can create something that generates attention, builds trust, captures leads, and opens doors for revenue.
Real Examples From TW3
In this episode, I share several recent examples of products and tools we have built through TW3 to serve specific markets.
1. Market My Coverage for Insurance Agents
Insurance agents need visibility. They need content. They need a way to stay in front of their audience without spending all day trying to figure out what to post.
That is why we created Market My Coverage.
This tool helps insurance agents create ready-to-use marketing content so they can show up more consistently and communicate with their market in a more professional way.
The lesson is simple: you do not always have to create a brand-new industry. Sometimes the best product is a tool that helps an existing industry solve a common problem faster.
2. Market My Listing for Realtors
We also created Market My Listing for real estate professionals.
Realtors already have listings. They already have buyers and sellers to serve. But many struggle with content, marketing, follow-up, and standing out in a crowded local market.
Market My Listing gives them a simple way to create listing-related content and marketing material around what they are already doing.
That is what a great product can do. It can take work someone is already doing and make it easier, faster, cleaner, and more valuable.
3. KidTrack Check-In for Churches, Schools, and Youth Programs
Another example is KidTrack Check-In.
This started from a real need. Churches, schools, camps, and youth programs need a simple way to register students, check them in, track attendance, manage important information, and keep better records.
Instead of waiting on some expensive system to solve the problem, we built a practical tool that can help organizations right now.

The Big Question: What Problem Do You Keep Solving?
If you are trying to come up with your own product idea, do not start by asking, “What can I sell?”
Start by asking better questions:
- What problem do people constantly ask me about?
- What do I already know how to solve?
- What process do I repeat over and over?
- What shortcut have I learned that others need?
- What tool would make my customer’s life easier?
- What service could I package into a clear offer?
- What information could I turn into training?
That is where product ideas come from.
They do not always come from trying to be clever. Many times, they come from paying attention to the problems sitting right in front of you.
Why Having Your Own Offer Creates Competitive Advantage
A unique product, good, or service helps your business in several important ways.
It makes you easier to remember.
People may forget another ad, another pitch, or another generic service offer. But they remember a specific solution with a specific name that solves a specific problem.
It gives you something to promote besides yourself.
This is powerful. Instead of constantly saying, “Hire me,” you can say, “Here is a tool that can help you.”
That changes the conversation.
It creates lead generation opportunities.
A good product can attract people into your world. It can become the front door to a larger relationship.
If you need help understanding how lead generation works as a system, read this guide: What Is Lead Generation? A Small Business Guide.
It gives you authority.
When you create a solution, people see you differently. You are no longer just talking about the market. You are contributing to it.
It can create additional revenue streams.
Your product may become something you sell, license, give away to generate leads, use to book appointments, or bundle into a larger service.
The point is not always immediate revenue. Sometimes the greater value is positioning, trust, and opportunity.
