MSPs Need To Stop Saying “I Dont Have Time For Marketing”
It's no secret that MSPs struggle with marketing. Some people miss the point. Others "have no time." Whatever the reason, this can prevent MSPs from building their brand and customer base.
I want you to think about a few things the next time you say, "I don't have time for marketing."
Referrals must be supplemented by complementary marketing initiatives.
Years ago, MSP had no problem getting clients. The main source of referrals are referrals. Although referrals are one of the main sources of MSP, they are running low. They don't come often, forcing the MSP to find someone else to generate leads. An effective marketing strategy is the solution to your problems. Every marketing strategy should have well-defined goals, objectives, audience, key performance indicators (KPIs), and a content strategy. When prospects are nowhere to be found, offer a comprehensive marketing strategy.
you have a choice
If you're having a hard time finding the time to focus on marketing, you have a few options. Hiring an employee with marketing experience is one of them. While adding other people to your payroll may seem overwhelming, it may be necessary if you're too busy running your own business. Before you hire someone, know what you need. For example, if you want to start a podcast, find someone who knows how to properly market to your audience. Another option is to outsource your marketing efforts to a third party agency.
Finally, take advantage of vendors. They may have resources you can use to market to your target audience. For example, Powered Services offers free marketing resources through our Jumpstart program, and we also offer ongoing sales and marketing support through Power Services Pro. You're not alone. We'll help you create and manage a sustainable marketing strategy, and much more.
it will take time
Believe me, you will come to a point in your business where you need more leads, but don't wait until then to start a marketing campaign. An effective marketing campaign does not happen overnight. Anything worth doing will take time. Start marketing before you expect potential customers to dry up. Otherwise, you will lose your income. Maintaining a healthy sales funnel is critical to your success. Your goal should be to generate a steady stream of leads. You can't get that through referrals alone. When marketing campaigns are successful, they generate leads for you. This is where you want to be in your business.
Evaluate your options, you don't have to do it yourself, and break the "you don't have time to market" habit. The faster you develop a marketing strategy, the better your sales funnel will be in the long run.
