I asked 3,000 MSPs and cybersecurity businesses what their offer was to clients. I based it all around Alex Hormozi’s $100M Offers.
Here’s the strange part: I only got one reply that actually gave me the offer.
Plenty of people replied to tell me how much they loved Hormozi, but only one person replied with what they actually put in front of clients.
So in this post, I’m going to help you structure an irresistible offer for your cybersecurity business, MSP, or even AI consultancy.
We’ll use Hormozi’s value equation to break down three offers you can implement immediately:
- A Cybersecurity Compliance Audit
- An IT/Network Assessment
- An AI Maturity Workshop
Why You Need an Offer
Think of your offer as a hook.
Not a quote for services. Not a list of features.
An offer is what gets you that first meeting with a prospect. It’s further up the funnel. It’s what makes them stop scrolling, click your ad, or book a call.
Examples:
- A cybersecurity assessment
- An AI maturity scorecard
- A network audit
The offer is packaged around that first conversation.
The Value Equation
Hormozi breaks it down like this:
Value = (Dream Outcome × Likelihood of Achievement) ÷ (Time Delay × Effort & Sacrifice)
- Dream Outcome – The big problem you help solve.
- Likelihood of Achievement – How confident they feel you’ll deliver.
- Time Delay – How quickly they get the result.
- Effort & Sacrifice – How much time/money they need to put in.
Your goal: create an offer too good to refuse.
This improves lead gen, website conversions, ad performance, and even your Calendly booking page.
Example Offer #1: Cybersecurity Compliance Audit
Approach it as a fresh set of eyes.
Even if they already have an MSP or security provider, you come in to identify gaps.
- Dream Outcome: Know if their business is exposed.
- Timeframe: 60 minutes.
- Stack:
- Dark web scan
- Compliance scorecard
- Quick phishing test (yes, even a simple one-off email to staff can reveal risks)
- Executive summary report (gold for board-level reporting)
- Delivery: Full report within 2 business days.
- Risk Reversal: If we don’t find value, we’ll donate to a local charity on your behalf.
High-value. Low effort. Too good to say no.
Example Offer #2: IT / Network Assessment
Most prospects want one thing: less downtime.
They’re also often frustrated that their current provider is too slow. Your offer should tackle that.
- Dream Outcome: Identify bottlenecks and improve performance.
- Stack:
- Speed & performance snapshot (Wi-Fi coverage, network slowness)
- 10 backup/continuity questions (non-technical, business-focused)
- Identify top 5 frustrations with their current provider
- Delivery: Within 5 days.
- Risk Reversal: If we don’t uncover at least one improvement, we’ll send free lunch to the office.
Simple. Memorable. Actionable.
Example Offer #3: AI Maturity Workshop
AI is everywhere right now, but most businesses have no idea how to apply it.
That’s where you step in.
- Dream Outcome: Save staff time on manual tasks → free them up for higher-value work.
- Positioning: Show how AI tools (like Microsoft Copilot) can be applied in their business today.
- Stack:
- AI maturity score (templated questions)
- Departmental use cases (share client stories)
- ROI projection (time/money saved)
- Prompts & playbooks (practical examples you’ve seen across clients)
- Delivery: As a live workshop (record it, then provide a summary report).
- Risk Reversal: If we can’t identify at least 3 cost-saving opportunities, we’ll donate $100 to charity.
This works beautifully as both a free value-add and as a conversation starter.
My Own Offer (Behind the Curtain)
Here’s how I applied the same thinking to my own business.
I used to have a Calendly link where anyone could book me. Problem: too many tire-kickers.
Now, my “offer” is a $99 Strategy Call.
- Stack: We review your business, goals, and why you’re not getting leads.
- Risk Reversal: If you’re not 100% satisfied, I refund you on the spot. Plus, the $99 is credited toward your first month if we work together.
- Bonus: You walk away with a 12-month growth roadmap (valued at $1,250).
Result? The wrong people don’t book me. The right people do.
Takeaway
Whether you’re selling cybersecurity, IT services, or AI consulting…
Don’t just sell “services.” Sell the offer.
Frame it around the value equation. Make it so good your prospect feels silly saying no.
And if you need a starting point—steal one of the three templates above and adapt it to your business.
