Julia Sos Joins BrightGauge as Technical Partner Success Manager

Similar to any other Solution Provider business model, how MSPs calculate and present their prices indicate how well they understand both their profit model and their ability to convey value in the selling process. Higher operational maturity MSPs realize that their services merit the customer buying only the fullest package. They also have a better understanding of their true costs, which results in a considerably higher fee than the same services offered by the lower operational maturity MSPs. While it may seem easier to out-price your peers, because of the service quality and better ability to convey value, the more expensive MSPs actually close significantly more agreements though still selling to the same customer profile.        In last month's CEO Growth & Profit webinar, Foundational Excellence: Pricing and Packaging Like the Top Performers, Rob Bufano, the Service Leadership Solutions Director, reviewed Managed Services pricing methodologies. He shared how the top quartile of MSPs are creating very detailed, granular pricing models behind the scenes, while simultaneously presenting their prices in easy-to-read simple formats for their clients.   By watching this webinar recording, you'll understand:   The basics on the OML trait: Pricing and Packaging The different Managed Services Pricing models What value-based pricing is Cost structures you should be evaluating and how often How your pricing, packaging, and discounting effect your margins * Note: If you are hungry for more knowledge after this webinar series, we recommend checking out SLIQ, a Service Leadership Operational Maturity improvement product.

A quarterly business review (QBR) is a recurring meeting between a company and its clients where they discuss service delivery, satisfaction, and future expectations. For MSPs, quarterly business reviews provide a opportunity to truly become their clients' strategic technology advisors. They enable MSPs to deliver the highest value by becoming an active player in the IT budget planning. When these quarterly meetings are done right, they'll also enhance your relationship with the right people within your clients' organizations, naturally improving retention. That's why top performing MSPs have mastered the art of conducting value-driven QBRs.     In last month's CEO Growth & Profit webinar, Foundational Excellence: QBRs as your Scale Engine, Peter Kujawa, VP of Service Leadership and TSP Evangelist, reviewed the components of a successful quarterly business review. Peter also reviewed how to effectively plan and pay for QBRs in a way that will simultaneously strengthen your relationships and improve profitability. By tuning in, you'll receive pointed advise on how to make a QBR productive and profitable, and how to squash any objections to conducting QBRs from your internal teams.   By watching this webinar recording, you'll understand:   The basics on OML trait: Quarterly Business Reviews Why effective QBRs are so important vCIO responsibilities and staffing levels What best-in-class include in their QBRs The components to a successful Quarterly Business Review * Note: If you have access to the ConnectWise University, check out the QBR Partner Kit.
