Why It’s Time to Change Your Perspective on the Services You’re Offering

With the MSP industry being inundated with new companies cropping up every day, traditional revenue streams are falling under intense pressure.

Consider the following:

All managed service providers start to look the same to prospective end customers, so how do you differentiate yourself?

MSPs need to better understand that this is a zero sum world. Your small-business customers have a finite technology budget. You need to do everything you can to capture as much of that spend as possible. Otherwise, you risk being squeezed out by other providers that have expertise in emerging technologies, or will suffer reduced revenue and margins.

In discussions with MSPs globally, we have heard that there is a need to learn how to better bring new products and services to market. This is where the concept of “powered services” originated. MSPs are pulled in multiple directions on a daily basis, and very few have the time to properly research all the competitors in a given industry–let alone the best ways to position various new products. In fact, many times an MSP will launch a new service and it will sit on the shelf collecting dust because no one knows how to overcome objections and push a new product all the way through the client portfolio.

With the Powered Services portfolio, Kaseya has done the heavy lifting for you. Powered Services are purpose-built to drive business growth. AuthAnvil Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS) provides all the resources you need to quickly and easily develop an identity and access management security practice selling two-factor authentication (2FA) and single sign-on (SSO), while protecting your business.
