With many years of running and growing successful I.T support businesses under his belt, Richard's information is one that is not to be ignored. Held in high esteem by not only his peers, but by some major players in the I.T services industry, Richard manages to offer the right advice, reaching out to the correct people while making the information personal to your business, practices and goals. If you are serious about growing your I.T business, there are only a handful of true professionals to get information and assistance from. Richard is one of those. ]]> Fri, 04 Nov 2011 14:02:48 +0000 40-189 http://www.mspcomparison.com/component/content/article/922-consultancies/40-trumethods.html Unless you want to spend $3000 per year on pricing info that has no relation to your target market and a weekly pep talk, stay away. ]]> Sat, 29 Oct 2011 00:21:01 +0100 107-147 http://www.mspcomparison.com/component/content/article/922-consultancies/107-msp-marketing-and-business-development-consulting.html Stuart Crawford really knows his stuff. I was lucky enough to recently attend a 3 day marketing course that he taught and I learned a lot. Having owned an MSP he understands what our business is like and can therefore do a better job with web development, search engine optimization, and marketing. I strongly recommend Ulistic to any MSP needing to get on the board with their Internet marketing. ]]> Wed, 11 May 2011 23:57:38 +0100 40-146 http://www.mspcomparison.com/component/content/article/922-consultancies/40-trumethods.html We have been been members of Gary Pica's TruMethods for about 6 months and couldn't be happier. The program gives you almost everything you need to know about providing, pricing, and delivering, and selling managed services. The content provided is web based, e-mail based, phone based, seminar based, and book based. There is always something new. I have learned a ton from Gary and used his FormulaWon program to land clients I otherwise wouldn't have. Our entire pricing structure, service delivery, and client management is thanks to Gary. If you want to be a Best in Class Managed Services Provider making top margins you cannot go wrong with TruMethods. ]]> Wed, 11 May 2011 23:52:51 +0100 14-145 http://www.mspcomparison.com/component/content/article/922-consultancies/14-robin-robins.html Wed, 11 May 2011 23:45:50 +0100 111-142 http://www.mspcomparison.com/component/content/article/904-associations/111-the-ascii-group.html Website: www.ascii.com Most of my reviews are very long to explain all the details. If I were to write about all of the benefits of our ASCII membership I would be writing all week. ASCII membership has made us a tremendous amount of money while saving a huge amount of time, money and effort. ASCII membership has saved us clients and allowed us to increase our billable rates and provide better service. SOME of the ASCII benefits we use: 1) Huge savings on our E&O and Liability insurance 2) Huge savings on products like PSA, BDR, and RMM tools 3) Increased discounts with distributors like D&H, Digitek, and Printer Essentials 4) Social Media service to send info to Twitter, FaceBook, and LinkedIn 5) E-mail newsgroup of peers to discuss products and provide assistance 6) Peer matching service to find us techs outside our coverage area 7) Free Annual Success summits to meet peers, learn about things to help us, and meet vendors Our ASCII membership pays for itself almost every day. I encourage you to go to the nearest Success Summit this year and find out for yourself what The ASCII Group is all about. ]]> Wed, 11 May 2011 23:04:03 +0100 11-141 http://www.mspcomparison.com/component/content/article/904-associations/11-msp-university.html Wed, 11 May 2011 22:50:03 +0100 9-139 http://www.mspcomparison.com/component/content/article/904-associations/9-comptia.html Wed, 11 May 2011 22:15:49 +0100 13-133 http://www.mspcomparison.com/component/content/article/922-consultancies/13-stuart-selbst-consulting.html I am so glad Coach Stu stopped me at SMB Nation a few years ago. Since that time we have become great friends and trusted advisors to each other. Coach Stu knows what it takes to make your MSP a success. You just need to stop and listen to him. He has it going on and knows what you need to do. It starts with you and your own personal commitment to success. You get out of it what you put into it. I have seen clients of mine flourish under Coach Stu. You need him in your corner.

He is always professional, knowledgeable, and conducts himself with integrity. His guidance has helped me immeasurably, and he always makes himself available for those emergency situations that arise in business. Even as our business has undergone major changes, and we have taken new risks, I have always found Coach Stu there to help provide sound advice and work hard to push us towards success. If anyone is balking at enlisting Stu as their business advisor, I would highly recommend that they consider all of the partners who can point to massive increases in sales in their business. Stu knows his stuff, and every small business owner of an IT firm owes it to themselves to enlist his services and attend his training events. ]]> Fri, 03 Dec 2010 14:54:22 +0000
