The Best Way To Kill Your Business:
"Growth Without Optimization Strategies - Avoid Costly Mistakes Before Entering Into Managed Services."
I am a BIG fan of Managed Services. I certainly think it is the future of this industry.
By the same token, I firmly believe that MS will drive many of you out of business in the
next 2-3 years - UNLESS - you make some major shifts in the way you operate.
"Managed Services has introduced "leverage" into the SMB technology services marketplace. Electronic monitoring and remote maintenance opens the doors for larger companies who can afford to throw a ton of money and personnel at this opportunity, leaving independent service providers struggling to keep up. If you haven't seen this in your marketplace yet, you soon will. "
So how do you avoid becoming a Managed Services casualty? You must learn to run your business like the "big boys" and offer something the "big boys" can't. This session will show you how.
You'll Learn:
- How to create a FINANCIAL DASHBOARD that allows you to SET YOUR PRICES so that you KNOW you are making a profit.
- How to CREATE THE RIGHT "TEAM" who will not just be "learning on your dime" how to become your competitor.
- How to find and close the RIGHT CLIENTS who will pay you MORE MONEY for your services.
- How to create internal documented systems so that you can CHOOSE HOW MUCH TIME YOU WORK, or choose to sell your business and GET THE PRICE YOU DESERVE.
- How to SELL what you learned about YOUR business to your customers to create ADDITIONAL REVENUE STREAMS.
