If I had a dollar for every time a gatekeeper told me “We’re fine,”
I could’ve retired before my first cloud migration!
In this week’s episode of MSP To The Future, we’re tackling one of the biggest frustrations in MSP sales — getting past the gatekeeper.
I’ll share what really works — the words, tone, and strategy that turn “Can I help you?” into “Let me put you through.”
And I’ll even show you a few creative ways to get invited in before you ever pick up the phone.
So if you’re tired of hearing “We’re fine,” and ready to start hearing “Sure, I’ll connect you,” — this episode is for you.
Hit play, take notes, and let’s take your MSP to the future.

One night I looked around my office buried in proposals, marketing materials, tickets, and emails and thought, “I built this business to give me freedom… so why am I still chained to it?”

In this week’s episode of MSP To The Future, I’ll show you how to break free, build systems that sell, and finally get your time and your life back.
So tune in… and let’s take your MSP to the future.

Ever notice how we MSPs love to overcomplicate things?
A ticket comes in, and suddenly we’re hunting for some rare, exotic issue when it usually ends up being a loose cable or a bad password.
In this week’s episode of MSP To The Future, we’re talking about why the simplest answer is almost always the right one and how you can use that same mindset to sell more, lead better, and stop drowning in busywork.
I’ll show you how to spot the “zebras” that are slowing down your business and how to focus on the horses that actually make you money.
Because success doesn’t come from adding more complexity it comes from simplifying what already works.
So tune in, think horses not zebras, and let’s take your MSP to the future!
You’ve been doing everything the gurus say posting, emailing, networking but the leads still aren’t coming.

In this episode, I reveal the truth about MSP marketing and it’s more than you think.
Hit play and let’s take your MSP to the future.

What happens when your cheese gets moved — a big client leaves, a vendor jacks up pricing, or the tech you’ve been selling suddenly becomes obsolete?

Hate networking? You’re not alone. Most MSPs walk into a room, grab a nametag, and pray for it to be over. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to be the life of the party to make networking pay off.
In this episode of MSP To The Future, I’ll show you how introverts can win big — by asking the right questions, building real trust, and following up in a way that actually lands referrals.
No fake small talk. No forced pitching. Just a simple, repeatable playbook I used to grow my MSP to seven figures.

Think you’ve got to figure this all out on your own? Think again.
In this episode of MSP To The Future, I’m joined by 39-year industry veteran David Hood — a guy who built a seven-figure MSP and swears by one game-changing growth strategy: peer groups.
We’re breaking down why the smartest MSPs don’t scale in isolation, what you’re missing by staying solo, and how to find the right group that actually helps you grow (no vent sessions allowed).
If you’re tired of feeling stuck and want real momentum — this episode’s your wake-up call.

Here’s the truth — most MSPs are still out there pitching the same tired lines: 24/7 monitoring, proactive support, best-in-class security. And guess what? Your prospects have heard it all before.
That’s why in this episode of MSP To The Future, I’m diving into one of my all-time favorite sales books — SPIN Selling by Neil Rackham. I’ll show you how SPIN creates urgency without pressure, gets prospects to sell themselves, and turns you into the go-to MSP instead of just another IT vendor. If you’ve ever had a deal stall out because the client didn’t feel the pain yet, this episode is for you.
So hit play — and let’s take your MSP to the future.

What if your best sales asset wasn’t a person — but a system that worked 24/7, never got tired, and kept your pipeline full while you slept?
In Part 3 of the Webinars That Win series, I’m showing you how we turned our webinars into a full-blown marketing machine — one that ran all year long, brought in leads on autopilot, and positioned us as the go-to MSP without creating new content every month.
You’ll hear exactly how we reused and repurposed our webinars, tailored them to different industries, and squeezed every drop of ROI from each one — turning one presentation into blog posts, social clips, emails, lead magnets, and more.
If you want a marketing strategy that scales without burning you out, this episode is your blueprint.

Most MSPs lose deals not because they’re bad at sales — but because they’re too afraid to ask the one question that flips the entire conversation.
In this episode of MSP To The Future, I’m showing you how top MSPs use The Wedge to turn polite “we’re happy with our IT” conversations into signed deals. No pitching. No pressure. Just a dead-simple method to plant doubt, expose cracks, and quietly take business away from competitors who’ve gotten too comfortable.
If you’re sick of quoting and hoping, and ready to hit pay dirt with better clients, smarter deals, and faster closes — tune in now, and let’s take your MSP to the future.
