Products and services are two closely aligned concepts, and, in fact, most products have an element of service in them. For example, a car buyer now buys a comprehensive bundle of service benefits, in addition to the tangible components of the car1. However, there is a distinct difference between them and it is important to establish some working definitions. One way to think of them is from the clients’ point of view. When a client asks "what can you make for me?" they are asking about products; when a client asks "what can you do for me?" they are asking about services. While a product is something that can be measured and counted, a service is less concrete and is the result of the application of skills and expertise towards an identified need.
