Advertise on podcast: MSP To The Future

You have a great meeting. The prospect seems interested. You put together the proposal, present the price...and then you hear it. “The other MSP is cheaper.” Now what? We heard it too. And early on, we made a mistake that I think a lot of MSPs make when they really want the deal. It worked sometimes. We got the client. But what happened afterward taught me a lesson about pricing that changed the way we sold from that point forward. If you've ever wondered whether your price is costing you MSP deals, you'll want to hear this one. Hit play...and let's take your MSP to the future.

A few episodes ago, I told you that most MSPs give up on prospects too soon. And I still believe that. But there’s another side to that advice. Because sometimes that prospect you’ve been calling...and emailing...and following up with...isn’t getting any closer to becoming a client. So when do you keep going...and when do you finally walk away? It took us a while to learn the difference and we spent a lot of time spinning our wheels before we did. In this episode, I’ll share what changed the way we looked at prospects and helped us decide which opportunities were really worth chasing. Hit Play…and let’s take your MSP to the future.

What do you do when you know a client needs something...but they’re not asking for it? Maybe you’ve added a new service you know could help them. You see the need.You see the opportunity.But they don’t. So how do you get them interested in something they don’t think they need? I learned the answer to that while building our seven-figure MSP and it wasn’t about becoming better at selling. In this episode, I’ll share what we learned and the mistake I think a lot of MSPs make when they try to introduce something new. Hit Play…and let’s take your MSP to the future.

What if the thing that's going to grow your MSP... isn't something new? Not the latest marketing strategy.Not a new salesperson.Not the next big client. Looking back at how we built a seven-figure MSP, I realized something I didn't fully appreciate at the time: some of the things that changed our business the most didn't look very important when we started doing them. In this episode, I'll share what they were and why the thing you're tempted to give up on might be closer to working than you think. Hit play... and let's take your MSP to the future.

You have happy clients. They like you. They trust you. They tell you what a great job you’re doing. So why aren’t they sending more business your way? Referrals were an important part of how we grew our MSP. But over the years, I learned that getting them wasn’t quite as simple as saying, “Do you know anyone you can refer me to?” There was something we started paying attention to that made a big difference. And I think it’s something a lot of MSPs miss. If you’d like more of your best clients introducing you to your next best clients, listen to this one. Hit play...and let’s take your MSP to the future.

Not every great MSP client looks like a great opportunity when you first meet them. I learned that one firsthand. There was a prospect we almost passed on because, at the time, they didn’t look like the kind of opportunity we were trying to build our MSP around. We could have easily walked away. And if we had, we would have missed far more than I ever expected. In this episode, I’ll share what happened and the lesson it taught me about looking at opportunities differently. Could there be a prospect sitting in front of you right now that you’re underestimating? Hit play...and let’s take your MSP to the future.

Ever look at a bigger MSP and wonder how you're supposed to compete? More technicians. More salespeople. Bigger marketing budget. We faced the same thing. But somewhere along the way, something changed. Our size stopped mattering nearly as much and prospects started coming to us. In this episode, I share the strategy that helped us become the go-to expert in our market and compete with MSPs much bigger than we were. Hit play... and let's take your MSP to the future.

The more you try to sell...The harder it is for prospects to buy. It sounds backwards, but it may be the very reason some of your best opportunities never become clients.

The best MSP salespeople I've known all have something in common. Ironically...it isn't that they're great at sales. It's that they don't think like salespeople at all. That one realization changed the way I approached every sales conversation, and when I looked back at the clients we won over the years, it explained why they chose us. If sales has ever felt awkward or uncomfortable, I think this episode will change the way you think about it too. Hit play, and let's take your MSP to the future.

You know the call. The one that starts with... "We've decided to move in a different direction." And your first thought is always the same... "I never saw this coming." But what if you did? What if your clients were giving you clues long before they ever started looking for another MSP? In this episode, I'm sharing one of the biggest lessons I learned from building a seven-figure MSP—and one of the patterns I've seen over and over again while working with MSPs across the country. Because good clients rarely leave without a reason...and they almost never leave without warning. Hit play...and let's take your MSP to the future.
