Why you must do personal branding

October 19, 2025 • 6 mins
We don't talk a lot about branding within the MSP Marketing Edge. Normally when you talk about branding, people think of your logo and your website design and stuff like that.

Today I want to talk about a more important form of branding: your own personal branding. 

That's about influencing how people think about you based on what you put on LinkedIn, on your website, and what you tal...

A hot new MSP sales book

October 12, 2025 • 4 mins
I was at ScaleCon in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago, and my friend Brian Gillette handed me a copy of his new book. It's a subject you're going to love because it's about selling more managed services.

I'll be honest, I haven't had a chance to read the book in full yet. But I've flicked through it. And I've got some highlights for you in today's Monday Motivation.

The power of a handwritten letter in our digital world

October 5, 2025 • 6 mins
A reality of our day-to-day existence is that we are utterly and completely inundated with digital marketing, yet in a B2B sense, there's little being targeted at us in real life.

And that creates a massive opportunity for you. What if somehow you were to send handwritten letters to your clients, your prospects, or your leads? Let me tell you exactly why, plus how to do it and a very...

What’s your why?

September 28, 2025 • 6 mins
That's a curious question to ask. What's your why? What exactly do I mean by that? I want to know why you're working so hard in your business. What's driving you day-to-day?

It's probably not to own a yacht or a private jet. I meet very few MSPs like that. But maybe your why is about providing for your family or giving your kids a better start in life than they would have otherwise.

How simple messaging helps or hinders ALL your marketing

September 21, 2025 • 5 mins
Let's explore messaging in this week's Monday podcast. When you get it right, it accelerates all of your marketing... but when you get it wrong, it HARMS all of your marketing. By messaging, I mean the core basic messages that you're sending to ordinary business owners and managers about why they should pick you and not another MSP. Let's do this.

Making life magic for your clients

September 14, 2025 • 5 mins

I know you have epic retention within your MSP. But I also know that anything can threaten that at any time. You can't just rely on sitting back and doing a great job for your clients. You've also got to make them feel that they want to stay with you. What we're talking about here is inserting some magic into what you do. Here are a couple of examples for you...

Why you must embrace video

August 31, 2025 • 5 mins

We've entered September, which means there are just four months left of this year. As you're looking forward to what you'll do differently with your marketing in 2026, PLEASE tell me that video is a big part of your plans. Every MSP I see that embraces video in all of its different flavours really does have a competitive and a marketing advantage...

Data enrichment is witchcraft

August 24, 2025 • 4 mins
Perhaps one of the greatest marketing tools that's come out in the last few years is something I don't think you and I have spoken about before. It's data enrichment. Where all you need is someone's email address and so long as that's a business domain, all of the rest of their details can be automatically found by an automated tool. Are you using this in your marketing? If not, you...

Can you succeed as a control freak?

August 17, 2025 • 5 mins
One of the things that makes you and me great business owners is our ability to shape the business to operate exactly the way we want it to. BUT... that asset eventually becomes a liability. Because our desire to control every single detail will eventually limit the business's growth. There's a point where you have to trust well-trained people operating within well-defined systems.....

Take more walks

August 10, 2025 • 4 mins
You know the best way to give yourself a motivational boost? To feel better, to know you're doing something good, that's almost never unhealthy? Simple... take a short walk. 15 minutes would do it, it doesn't have to be very long. Very basic advice. And yet it's something that's so easy to forget to do during a busy workday. Let's explore why it's worth building it into your daily r...

Why your “About Us” page is secretly your best sales tool

August 3, 2025 • 5 mins
I want to zero in on one of the most important pages of your website today. Your About Us page is insanely important during the process of persuading people that they should talk to you when they're thinking of switching MSPs. Let's explore why that is and what you can do to improve your About Us page.

How to remove negative thoughts or persistent worries

July 27, 2025 • 6 mins
We all have moments where we're not as positive as we'd like to be. Sometimes, for some of us, those moments then persist. The negative thoughts hang around in our minds, and we fail to see the wonder of everything around us. This is especially a risk for a busy MSP owner. I want to discuss this in today's podcast. Including a method I used to keep myself focused on all the things I...

New things I can do to help you

July 13, 2025 • 7 mins
Bit of a plug this week for something I can do to help you. Two weeks back we launched a couple of new services to help with the most important aspect of your marketing - IMPLEMENTATION. There's a virtual programme I'm running, and an in-person one here in the UK. Both start in September. Here are the details and why I think implementation is the most important skill to develop.

LinkedIn likes won’t get you new clients

July 6, 2025 • 5 mins
It's really easy to get caught up in the wrong metrics in marketing. Particularly when you put a lot of work into something like LinkedIn, and then you see that only two people have liked your post! That can make you angry, right? Yet in the big picture, it doesn't matter… in today's Monday Motivation, let's explore what's really important.

Make your MSP more like McDonald's

June 22, 2025 • 5 mins
I'm out on the road today and recording this episode in a McDonald's. Why? Because to me it's a masterclass in how to reduce complex procedures down into simple tasks that almost anyone can do. There's a lot for every MSP to McLearn. Grab a snack and let's dive in.

Does your MSP come across as legitimate?

June 15, 2025 • 5 mins
One of the biggest challenges with your marketing is influencing people's hearts rather than their brains. How they feel about you will dictate whether or not they seriously consider switching to you, or not. So you owe it to yourself to make your MSP seem as legitimate as possible. Let's explore that, shall we?

Have you considered exhibiting at an event… and then you've realised how much money, time and energy you'd have to put into it? And that's put you off? Maybe today I can talk you around. Because if you get the right events, they can be insane ways of putting hot prospects into your pipeline.
