Tales From the Trenches: Wisdom from the Frontlines of Managed Services

The Managed Services space can be a challenging place to build a business. Tune in to hear industry experts talk about topics that are on the minds of MSPs in the Peer Groups. Our hosts come from working in the trenches at Managed Service Providers, and are active MSP Peer Group facilitators that have conversations with dozens of MSPs each month. Topics we will cover will include finance, pricing, sales, marketing, running the business, legal, and pretty much anything MSPs are talking about.

What do you do when you have a key employee that gives their notice? Do you have a backup plan? Are you doing what you can to keep them from even wanting to leave? Keeping your people happy is one of those important things that you must think about as a people leader and MSP Business Owner.
In this episode we talk about keeping your key employees and strategies for handling when the inevitable happens and they want to leave. We also talk about hiring your first Service Manager. Both solid topics, and we're likely to revisit over time.

Many MSPs wonder how many packages they should have. Should you have 1 package to rule them all or should you have the age old bronze, silver, and gold packages? Should you have different security offerings on your different packages? What's the right call? If you have any of those questions today's episode is for you.
