𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗦𝗣 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗡𝗼𝘄? Most of us create content about what we think prospects should care about, not what they're actually looking for. Here's an easier way.

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀. Read through last month's issues. Those problems are blog posts and videos waiting to happen. Your prospects are searching for answers to the same stuff.

𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺. What questions come up repeatedly? That's content gold. According to Content Marketing Institute, 72% of B2B marketers say content works. But only if you answer real questions.

𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗧 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀? 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴? 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀? 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀? Build that.

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲'𝘀 "𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗔𝘀𝗸." Type in your services and see what questions pop up. Answer those first.

The best content isn't clever. It's just useful. It solves the problem your prospect is trying to solve right now!

What's the most common question you're getting asked?

𝗠𝗦𝗣𝘀: 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆? 𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱

You know that feeling when you talk cybersecurity with a prospect and they're not getting its importance?

The challenge isn't our solutions. It's that cybersecurity feels distant until it's too late.

Here's what's working for MSPs today, in their sales and marketing, too:

𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘀. Instead of "24/7 SOC monitoring," try "Remember that construction company that lost three weeks of project files? That's what we prevent."

𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. A 5-question quiz that scores their security posture. Place it on your website, too. Ransomware hits a business every 11 seconds. Make that stat personal.

𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀. "We caught this breach attempt at 2 AM last Tuesday" showcases value without fear-mongering.

𝙀𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚? 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙩.

𝗠𝗦𝗣𝘀: 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲?

Let's be honest... many of us would rather configure a firewall than deal with SEO. But your ideal clients are searching for you right now, and they're finding your competitors instead.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲? Trying to rank for "IT services" or "managed services." Those terms are too broad and dominated by huge players.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀:

𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗵𝘆𝗽𝗲𝗿-𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰. "Managed IT for dental practices in Princeton" beats generic terms every time.

𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲. Add posts, request and respond to reviews, and upload photos. This dramatically boosts local visibility.

𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗺𝘀. That blog post stuffed with keywords? Google's on to it. Share genuine insights about problems you've solved. Answer the questions prospects actually ask.

Winning at SEO isn't about beating everyone. It's about being found by the people who need exactly what you offer.

𝗠𝗦𝗣𝘀: 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲? 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗮 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗮𝘆!

Ever feel like you’re racing to beat the cheapest MSP in town? I've been there, too, and it’s exhausting… honestly, pretty frustrating!

Here's what shifted things for me as an MSP owner: 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲.

𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗶𝘁. When you deeply understand healthcare compliance or legal regulations, you're not just another IT provider. You're the obvious choice.

The difference? 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗦𝗣𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁. That law firm is no longer comparing your price to three other quotes. They know that wouldn’t be an apples-to-apples comparison. 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲.

Don't just sell IT services. Lead by solving the problems that keep your ideal clients up at night.

Already picked your niche? What made you choose it?

𝗠𝗦𝗣𝘀: 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘀? 𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲!

Staring at that blank blog post like it personally offended you? Yeah, we've all been there.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁: 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲. 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸.

𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁. "Why is my email going to spam?" That's a blog post. "Do I really need MFA?" That's a video. You're already explaining this stuff anyway.

𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗳𝗳. That 3 AM server issue that took you down a rabbit hole? Way more interesting than "5 Reasons You Need Backup."

Studies show half of B2B buyers prefer to view 3-5 pieces of content before talking to sales. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀? 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁. (Pro Tip!)

The best content doesn't feel like marketing. It feels like helping, because that's what it is.

𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁! 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲: 𝗵𝘁𝘁𝗽𝘀://𝗺𝘀𝗽𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀.𝗰𝗼𝗺/𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀, 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂?

We've all been there - spending hours on cold calls and emails, hoping something sticks. It's exhausting, right?

I just recorded a quick video on something that's been changing the game for many MSPs: the shift from chasing to attracting.

Here's the thing most of us don't realize: when we're constantly in pursuit mode with outbound tactics, we're often catching prospects at the wrong time. They're not ready, not looking, and frankly, not interested.

But inbound marketing? That's a different story. When someone finds your blog post at 2am while researching solutions, or watches your video tip because they're trying to solve a problem, they're already in the right mindset.

The numbers back this up too. Inbound leads cost significantly less and close at much higher rates. But more importantly, these conversations just feel different. They're starting from a place of trust.

In the video, I break down both approaches and share a simple way to start adding inbound to your mix without overwhelming your schedule.

What's your experience been? Are you seeing better results from attracting or chasing?

Drop a comment. I'd love to hear what's working in your MSP!

𝗠𝗦𝗣𝘀: 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀? 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀!

You know what's worse than no leads? Bad leads. Like that guy needing enterprise-level support, but with a $200/month budget. We've all taken that call.

The trick isn't more leads. It's getting the right ones to raise their hands.

𝗕𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽. "We work with 10-50 person law firms in Philadelphia" grabs way better than "we help small businesses." Companies that segment actually see 760% higher revenue (Hubspot). Narrow beats broad.

𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲. Scary, I know. But it pre-qualifies people. If someone balks at your starting point, they weren't your client anyway.

𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 "𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗳𝗼𝗿" 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲. (Kind, not cocky 😀) Not only does this save everyone’s time, but it also builds trust. Plus, it's refreshing to read honest stuff online.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸?

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆, 𝗼𝗿 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀?

Have you ever found yourself jumping into LinkedIn posts, email campaigns, or maybe some ads, without a clear blueprint connecting it all?

We get busy, right? Sometimes it feels productive to just tick the marketing box. But, here's what happens. When we skip the strategy phase and go straight to marketing tactics, we end up speaking to the wrong people about the wrong things.

In this short video, I walk through why so many marketing efforts fall flat. It's usually not the tactics themselves. It's doing them without your blueprint.

Before your next campaign, take a step back. Get clear on your revenue goals, who you're really trying to reach, and what makes your MSP the obvious choice - for that group.

Having that documented strategy changes everything.

In the crowded “Me Too” world of Managed IT Services, differentiation isn't just a strategy, it’s a necessity. It’s a means to thrive!

After 20 years as an MSP owner and marketer, it’s become easier to guess the troubles of a slow-growing MSP. There’s little that compels referrals. Cold sales opportunities are super hard to close. Many MSPs struggle to draw in their ideal clients, often settling for those less so. Selling your services is tough when the offerings seem identical to everyone else's. And the one that may sting most: Closing a sale often means charging less than the competition.

So, here are 5 of my top reasons why standing out isn’t just beneficial but essential for your business:

🌟 5. Long-Term Client Relationships: By offering unique, tailored services, you foster deeper, long-term relationships with clients. Unique services lead to higher client satisfaction and loyalty, as clients appreciate the distinct value you provide.

🌟 4. Referral Power: When you're distinct, satisfied clients are more likely to refer you, leveraging the power of word-of-mouth. Referrals achieve a 70% close rate, while colder sales often hover around 25%. Are you seeing the same?

🌟 3. Competitive Edge: If you specialize, you’re not just another IT guy; your differentiation will make you the guru for your chosen industry. This makes you irreplaceable.

🌟 2. Premium Pricing Justification: Unique services allow for premium pricing, as clients are willing to pay more for specialized, high-quality service.

🌟 1. Sales Come Easier: You’ve made yourself the best-fitting MSP for your market. How can’t you be the obvious choice? Continue to adapt and exclude your competition!

Create a business that is forward-thinking and deeply connected to its clients. Embrace uniqueness and watch your business bloom. 🌸

Please share your thoughts!
