MSP Business School

In this very special episode we introduce to the MSP industry our new Sales Development Platform entitled Sales MaturIT.  This new platform allows MSP's and MSSP's to evaluate their current Sales Maturity Level (SML) and create a guided, self-paced patch to reaching their sales goals. The platform is geared to meet service providers at that stage their sales team currently resides.  Our approach takes you from the early stages of sales, typically owner led, and guides you through activities and strategies to help you grow sales both in velocity and revenue growth. It starts with a self-assessment, allowing you to self evaluate the current state of your sales process.  That assessment will allow Sales MaturIT to create a customized training roadmap for your organization. In this system you can also track your sales financial picture.  Insert a minimum of your last four quarters of sales data and then head to our goals plan, where you can modify growth indicators like customer count, MRR, and contract value to build a sales plan to meet your long term goals. Sales MaturIT serves as a virtual coach, helping you grow your business and stay on track.

If you listen to our show, you’ve probably heard us talk about the “curse of the great MSP”: the more you automate, the more you do remotely, and the less things tend to break, the more likely it is that your value gets called into question and you get shown the door. What are some things you can do to avoid this curse? In this episode, hosts Brian, Tim, and Robb share some practical steps you can take to break the curse and provide even greater value to your clients, solidifying yourself as an integral part of their business.
