How To PREVENT Objections From Killing Your Sale
Without a doubt, OBJECTIONS are the curse of every sales professional. You have a perfectly good prospect with the ability and the money to buy and who can, without a doubt, benefit from what you’re selling – maybe even desperately NEEDS what you’re selling – but who stubbornly refuses to give you a yes. So, what should you do about that? I’ve always argued that the best way to “handle” objections is in advance BEFORE a prospect even utters them. Otherwise, you’re arguing with them.…

The 3 Mistakes People Make in B2B Marketing
Business-to-business marketing can be a tricky thing to conquer. Odds are, as you are trying to grow your MSP, you are making at least one of these B2B marketing mistakes. 1. B2B marketing is a misleading categorization. Businesses don’t buy anything. PEOPLE in businesses buy things – and they buy their IT services (and anything else business-related) the same way they buy everything. They have the same emotional needs, motives, desires, and hot buttons. The guy who’s cheap about IT services is going to be…

My ‘Journey’ Led Me To Add $12,328 In New MRR In Just 90 Days — On Pace To Finally Break $1 Million!
I Knew The Importance Of Marketing But Just Couldn’t Make It Work Since I founded CloudFirst Technology Solutions in 2010, I always knew the value of good marketing. (At least, I THOUGHT I did.) In the early days, I put together a small marketing team and focused on building a website. We made some flyers and canvassed offices throughout Las Vegas. I even bought an expensive marketing list and began calling. A lot of work. Barely any results. Over the past 11 years, I’ve revisited…

After 22 Years Of ZERO MARKETING, I Set An Aggressive Goal Of Adding $25K In MRR And Hit It In Just 90 DAYS!
Sabotaged By My Ex-Wife And Then Fired My Mom And Dad I started consulting back when our years started with a 19. I quickly built a client base through word-of-mouth and absolutely no marketing. I was a tech trying to be a business owner, but also juggling HR, payroll, operations, EVERYTHING. Sound familiar? As a result, not only did I have a 9 to 5 business, it was also a 5 to 9 business. I was working all the time and had no life. My…

Building Financial Strength for MSPs and IT Services Businesses
Register For The IT Marketing Roadshow One of the things that smaller MSPs who are struggling screw up in their business is they don’t think in terms of building financial strength and financial leverage. These task-oriented people are thinking in terms of what needs to be done. They might be thinking, “How do we get more clients? How do we generate more MRR?” But they’re not thinking long term and they’re certainly not thinking about equity. Here I’m going to answer the questions, “How do…
