How MSPs are built
A managed service provider looks after the computers, networks and security of small and mid-size businesses for a monthly fee. Revenue is recurring, margins depend on tickets per technician, and growth depends on adding clients. Owners think in terms of monthly recurring revenue and how many endpoints each technician can manage.

Mistakes

- Sending generic security fear messages; MSP owners hear them constantly.
- Ignoring that many owners are technical and will check your claims.
