Your resume clients are asking for LinkedIn help, and your LinkedIn clients want resume rewrites—but you're pricing and packaging them separately. Bundling these two services transforms a single transaction into a higher-ticket offering while reducing friction in the sales cycle. Here's how to structure, price, and sell a combined package that works.
Why Bundle Resume and LinkedIn Writing
These services are natural companions. A strong resume and an optimized LinkedIn profile reinforce each other—they should tell the same professional story, use complementary language, and reflect current achievements. When you sell them separately, clients often delay the second purchase or shop around for another vendor.
Bundled offerings also reduce your acquisition cost per project. You're closing one bigger deal instead of chasing two smaller ones, and your delivery timeline becomes more efficient since you're working through one client intake process.
Structuring Your Bundle Pricing
Most resume + LinkedIn bundles in the coaching and career services space fall into the $400–$1,200 range, depending on career level and revision rounds included.
Entry-level bundle ($400–$600): Recent graduates or early-career professionals. Includes resume optimization (1–2 pages) and LinkedIn profile rewrite (headline, about section, first 3 experience entries). Typically 2 rounds of revisions.
Mid-career bundle ($700–$950): Professionals with 5–12 years of experience. Full resume rewrite with keyword optimization, complete LinkedIn profile overhaul including recommendations section guidance, and cover letter template. Allows 2–3 revision rounds.
Executive bundle ($1,000–$1,500): C-suite, directors, or specialized roles. Comprehensive positioning strategy, multi-page resume, full LinkedIn optimization with thought leadership angle, and personal branding consultation. Up to 4 revision rounds and 30-day follow-up touchpoint.
Pricing higher than à la carte rates (typically $250–$400 per service) incentivizes bundling while still delivering margin. A client who'd spend $700 buying separately might pay $850 as a bundle—they get value, and you improve profit.
Building Your Service Package
Define exactly what's included before you launch. Ambiguity kills conversions and creates scope creep.
Core deliverables:
- Initial discovery call or questionnaire (15–30 minutes)
- Resume rewrite with keyword research and ATS-friendly formatting
- Complete LinkedIn headline, about section, and experience descriptions
- Consistent brand voice across both documents
- Professional headshot guidance (optional add-on)
- Revision rounds (specify the number)
- Delivery timeline (typically 7–10 business days)
What to exclude:
- Job search strategy coaching (separate service)
- Interview prep (upsell opportunity)
- Cover letter writing (offer as add-on at $75–$150)
- Headshot photography (refer to trusted partners, earn referral fees)
Clarity prevents scope creep that erodes profitability.
Positioning and Selling the Bundle
Lead with the outcome, not the components. Instead of "Resume + LinkedIn writing," say "Career Positioning Package: Get discovered on LinkedIn while landing interview callbacks."
On your website, landing page, or Mercoly listing, emphasize that employers and recruiters check both documents—misalignment signals unprofessionalism. A bundled approach ensures consistency, saves time, and increases visibility.
Sales language that works:
- "Employers spend 6 seconds on resumes and 30 seconds on LinkedIn profiles. Make both count."
- "Most job seekers optimize one or the other. Candidates who own both get 40% more recruiter outreach."
- "Stop juggling multiple freelancers and revisions. One strategist, one voice, one unified narrative."
Converting Leads to Customers
When prospects land on your Mercoly profile or website, show the bundle first. Let clients choose to add optional services (cover letters, interview coaching) rather than stripping down the core package.
Use testimonials and case studies that mention both the resume and LinkedIn impact—"Rewrote my resume and LinkedIn; got three calls within two weeks" resonates harder than isolated feedback.
Offer payment plans for bundles over $800 to lower barrier to entry. Many career coaching platforms accept installments (50% upfront, 50% on delivery) with no fees.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should I allow clients to buy resume or LinkedIn separately if they only want one? Yes, but price them higher ($350–$450 each) to make the bundle the obvious choice. Most will upgrade.
Q: How long does a typical bundle take to deliver? 7–10 business days for mid-career clients assuming one discovery call and straightforward revisions. Build in 2–3 extra days if heavy keyword research or industry-specific positioning is needed.
Q: Can I upsell after delivery? Absolutely. Follow up at day 30 with interview coaching, LinkedIn networking strategy, or a "personal branding audit" as natural next steps.
