Genius of the Month

Twenty years ago this year, Mazteck IT was born. For the first 15 years of my business, I was content. Content with being a one-man shop. Content with being 99% break-fix with barely a drop of monthly recurring revenue. Content with working early mornings, late nights and weekends....

Fourteen years ago, I, Gary Monck, partnered with a friend who owned a smaller MSP to establish CISPOINT. Like most of the people in the industry, we were great techs but knew little about marketing and growing a business. Running on referrals only, we would accidentally bump into...

Twenty-one years ago, my father and I started I-M Technology in Connecticut. About a decade ago, the business had been flat for five years straight. At the time, we simply had a dialer but didn’t implement any real marketing. I knew that in order to grow the business,...

A few years back, I was working for an MSP and built their sales department, but when that MSP went bankrupt and was sold, the company buying them out asked me to run the business. That’s how Aligned Tek got started three years ago in Birmingham, Alabama, and...

I incorporated Dorset Connects with a partner in 1997 in beautiful Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, the mushroom capital of the world. Back then, we were 100% break-fix, and had no sales and no marketing. After losing our first longtime client to an MSP, we asked a serious question: Are...

Two years ago, we went from January to May without taking on any new customers. To my surprise, my office manager and I discovered Robin Robins on the same day. We were both watching her YouTube videos. That very evening, I contacted Technology Marketing Toolkit and signed up...

An entrepreneur at heart (and therefore unemployable), I founded LeadingIT 13 years ago. Three years later, I attended Robin Robins’ Boot Camp, watched seven Better Your Best finalists present their unbelievable success stories and knew I wanted to be on that stage one day....

Staring at losing nearly $1M of revenue, I was shitting bricks. The ship was going down, and I had no clue what to do. Then I remembered how Technology Marketing Toolkit, Robin’s marketing campaigns and my Accountability Group had bailed us out before. I looked at my twin...
