Remember, you are not alone! You are welcome to attend the ChannelNEXT events where channel partners, vendors and other professionals come together to learn, discuss and exchange ideas to build business. We do some every month – see ChannelNEXT for details and schedule.
Here is a recap of our last ChannelNext event on Managed Services:

Paolo Del Nibletto showed how MSPs can do some easy and cost-effective things to promote their company in their local community by simply leveraging news media. The vast majority of MSPs never leverage news media because they think they need to pay for advertising, but there is a way to get the brand exposure without costing a fortune.
This is just a sample of the content that we made available to our ChannelNEXT attendees. We also introduced a platform to help MSPs build and improve their technology stack and another platform that helps MSPs improve the outcome of their sales team. Both can impact the success of your MSP business tremendously.
