  • I’ve done my research.
    I’ve got the right people.
    I’ll be on to prospect and that’s how I think about every day.
    1. What am I closing?
    2. What am I developing?
    3. What am I prospecting?

  • You can’t teach sales. I know that’s
    a bold statement…
    but you can fine tune it, and you can unearth it – but you can’t teach it!

  • The importance of personality
    in sales cannot be overlooked,
    as buyers prefer connecting with relatable individuals. As such, LinkedIn profiles showcasing personality can significantly enhance engagement
    and trust with potential customers.

  • Social is a big driver for MSPs. They want a bigger social presence – and they typically see social media as Meta, LinkedIn, Twitter or X. But there are a lot of other forms of social media that they might not consider where their customers are hanging out – so take a look at Reddit for example. From an MSP perspective,
    Reddit is actually a very good place to be.

  • With some of the customers I worked, with I was on site for probably three or four days a week. You almost get to a point where you're thinking like the customer, and you absorb their objectives and goals and you start to celebrate the success that they achieve, and the role that you play in that success. So it becomes enmeshed - and for me, they're the very best customer relationships.

  • Understanding your sales data
    and improving ratios leads to better performance. Incremental changes can significantly enhance your closing ratio and overall success. A 10% improvement across five stages can result in a 50% overall improvement.
