Sales is in my title. But it’s not what I do.
‘Sales’ is a noun. ‘Selling’ is a verb.
When you make a sale, you’ve acquired something. You acquire a thing. A noun. You have money (your pay/revenue).
When you are selling, you are doing.
Are you doing regular business reviews with your clients? If you’re not, you’re leaving the door open for a competitor to swoop in and steal them. Plus, you’re also leaving money on the table.
Selling doesn’t end when you close a client. Business reviews are an important part of the sales process.

She’s also grossly underpaid and overworked. She’s the kind of worker who will do whatever she is asked even if it means her working nights and weekends to get it done.

Here it is, the top question(s) we get asked at audIT. It’s usually the first question out of the mouth of an MSP looking into audIT.
They are:
Does audIT scan the network?
Does audIT pull in data from other tools like Rapid Fire Tools?
How does the data get into audIT?
But the interesting part of these questions is MSPs ask it for different reasons.

It’s a brave new world. And as I write this on June 9th, I doubt I need to explain the details of why and how.
Actually, we (audIT), started talking about this internally back in March. We wanted to make sure nothing would change for our users.
The complete shutdown of live events happening in the channel thanks to Covid-19 has been a devastating blow to MSPs that stay on a path of continual education. Fortunately, thanks to many of the great vendors in the channel, there are several fantastic virtual events happening.
