Last week I showed you the three mistakes killing most MSP LinkedIn pages. Writing for peers instead of prospects. Sending people off the platform. Posting and ghosting (see what I did there…it rhymes! Moving on…) If you ran your last five posts through the test we gave, you...
I looked at an MSP’s LinkedIn page the other day and immediately felt bad. Not tragic bad. More like “you were picked last for the kickball team in gym class” bad. They were posting two or three times...
The day I sat down with the real financials at Aligned Tek, I had to read the numbers twice. I stepped into the president’s role in 2022, believing I was taking over a $1.2...
