Fixing Broken MSP Marketing (EP 1010)
Description
I brought back my friend Dave Scott from Scott Growth Strategies to poke the bear a little and talk about why so many MSPs feel stuck, even when they’re working their tails off. Dave lives right in the middle of that problem as a fractional CMO/CRO for MSPs and B2B firms that have hit a growth ceiling, and he does not sugarcoat the reality that a lot of us are fantastic engineers and pretty rough business owners. We dig into the difference between being an “idea-heavy” entrepreneur and a disciplined business owner, why 77 percent of MSPs are under a million in revenue, and how that shows up as burnout, bad clients, and lumpy, random sales.
