It’s the Mid-Year MSP Check-In! 3 Key Areas to Review:

Greetings, Autotask Warriors! And congrats…you made it!   

July means that we are at the mid-point in our year-long partnership of growing your MSP and increasing profitability.  

We have Clients all over the world, so... US region clients, take some time and enjoy the (sweltering!) summer. Those of you Down Under, enjoy your winter.  

No matter where you’re located, if you’ve been implementing the things we’ve talked about this year, then you’ve definitely earned a bit of a rest. 

As MSP owners and Service Managers, we never truly step away from the business, so let’s take a few moments to do a mid-year check in. 

We started this year promising to help you improve your MSP Operations. How are we doing? Have you checked?   

Here are the key components to look at: 

  1. Has Resource Utilization improved?   

  2. Has SLA Performance improved? 

  3. What about profit? 

 

Those are the quantifiable improvements you should be enjoying. The qualitative improvements you should not be missing out on include: 

  1. Do the Techs know what to work on next? 

  2. Is someone taking ownership of all open tickets and driving them from New to Complete? 

  3. Are you free to go sell something? 

 

If the answer to any of these six simple questions is NO, then you are missing out on where other MSPs are succeeding. 

For example, here are a few charts from Advanced Global MSP Coaching clients, this year alone: 

Because the year is only half over, there is still time to improve in 2023. Of course, we highly recommend you stay with the series as we move into more on how to leverage the Advanced Live reports to drive Operational improvements.   

Meanwhile, there are also other things you can do: 

  1. Read Service Manager Role and Responsibility articles we have been writing since May 5th of this year. 

  2. Read all the articles we have written this year, last year, the year before, etc. 

  3. Download one of our eBooks – Unshackled or Resource Utilization for MSPs. 

And if that is still not enough, we have three more options you should consider: 

  1. Schedule a Strategy Call with Chris, the Sr. Coach here at Advanced Global. 

  2. Join the Service Delivery Gladiator Community. 

  3. Take us up on our offer: a FREE No-Obligation Autotask Configuration Evaluation

But most importantly, DO NOT continue doing the same things expecting different results – that is insane.  

Take the initiative - at least a small step - to improve your operations and it will be financially well worth it. Bonus benefit: you’ll also get to enjoy the peace of mind you have always been looking for. 

Here is what others have said about our solutions: 

Strategy Calls 

“Advanced Global offered me, a random guy on the Internet, a 45-minute coaching session at no charge. It was hugely valuable and I'm implementing some of his ideas right now.” Adam C, Servicemax 

“The value we received from 45 minutes of consultation was excellent and left me with a desire to work with you and your team.” Ben Scoble, Logic Plus. 

Service Delivery Gladiator Community 

  • “Stephen and Carol host each week an “Ask the Expert” call for anyone using Autotask in their business. Every week I attend these, and I always walk away with nuggets of information that I can take back and implement with my team. The time spent each with on these calls allows me to meet other MSPs across the country and gain valuable insight on how to improve my business. I highly recommend the investment of time to be on these calls.” David G- Mac IT Solutions 

 

  • “I just wanted to send my gratitude for the time that you and Carol put today in Ask the Expert session, as I’ve mentioned I’m new with Datto RMM, we started the implementation couple months ago and like any other new platform we had our fair share of challenges with the new product.  Carol’s expertise with implementation and monitoring of Datto RMM was a tremendous help which I truly appreciate it and looking forward to your upcoming sessions.”  Ali Karimi, GTI Technology Simplified 

 

FREE No-Obligation Autotask Configuration Evaluation 

  • “After nearly 20 years running the business, I feel I am actually going to have, or know if I already have, a well-oiled machine. I have spent too long trying to do things myself and second-guessing the values coming out of Autotask. Thanks to the PSA Configuration Evaluation, I have already gone through the document and implemented a good portion of the recommendations.” David S, BTNI 

 

Hopefully, this week’s check-in has given your brain a bit of a rest so you’re ready to jump back-in next week. And if you’ve discovered you’re off the pace, now you have a week to get that fixed.
