#94 - Consultants Over Technicians - The Premier MSP | From the Trenches

Most MSPs say they're different. Bryon Beilman actually is. As CEO of iuvo Technologies, he made a deliberate decision to hire consultants — not technicians — building a team that averages 24 years of experience and delivers strategic business value that goes far beyond uptime and ticket resolution.

In this conversation, Josh Peterson and Bryon explore why traditional managed services are becoming table stakes, how narrowing your ideal client profile can unlock growth, and why AI-powered projects are the next frontier for MSPs willing to have real business conversations with their clients.
