When you get your hair cut, what's the "core" of what you buy vs. what are the "value-addeds" in the pur­chase? What's a consultant's core vs. value-addeds? What are the core vs. value-addeds for music?

Step 1 of 2

When you get your haircut, the core of what you buy is the actual haircut service. It involves the stylist's expertise, skill, and time to cut, trim, and style your hair according to your preferences. This is the fundamental offering that you pay for.

The value-addeds in a haircut purchase are the additional services or features that enhance the overall experience or provide additional benefits. These can include services such as a shampoo and conditioning treatment, scalp massage, hot towel treatment, styling products, or complimentary beverages. These value-added go beyond the basic haircut and aim to create a more enjoyable and satisfying experience for the customer.

Similarly, in the context of consulting services, the consultant's core offering is their expertise, knowledge, and guidance in a specific area. This could be strategic planning, process improvement, financial analysis, or any other specialized field. The consultant's core is their ability to provide valuable insights and recommendations based on their expertise.
