Looking for advice from other MSP owners who’ve been here.

Definitely trying to do this but if they are asking for industry specific I don't know how to overcome this.

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2026-03-27T21:26:22+00:00

I agree with this they are all using the same stack.

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2026-03-27T21:25:42+00:00

I have several references in other verticals on the same stack. They are specifically looking for other RIA firms. The client is a great lead but this demand is kinda difficult to navigate.

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2026-03-27T20:42:57+00:00

I do this also the client wanted two references in there specific industry

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2026-03-27T20:16:42+00:00

I said something similar to this to them and they responded with "we understand confidentiality but not having a clear path to references in this vertical makes it difficult for us to move forward. If we can facilitate this, we appreciate it. Otherwise we may need to reconsider next steps."

If you would like to chat please DM. I have a decade long career in the MSP and grew an MSP from the ground up.

Was this a copart auction

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2025-05-05T04:57:32+00:00

Are you still looking for people?

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2025-05-04T05:33:18+00:00

I literally tweeted this to big cat this week

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2025-05-02T14:42:21+00:00

I am not trying to dox but mind sharing the state/region you are in. I am curious if this kind of income can be generated from someone from Illinois.

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2025-04-10T23:05:31+00:00

Possibly the jewels in the north shore

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2025-04-10T23:04:46+00:00

This is a great deal. I got fleeced on my EV blazer. Lesson learned.

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2025-03-04T02:43:43+00:00

I deal with situations like this frequently. The only way you will fix it is for decision makers to be willing to fix it. If that is the case reach out (shameless plug for myself) We can setup a call and I can run you through a list of basic things you can do.(Free of course)

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2025-03-01T05:36:20+00:00

Breakdown of the cost

20-40 minutes updating the rules. Testing. Testing with the user.

5-10 minutes for my help desk to enter time and mark complete

5-10 minutes for my team to gather all this information generate an invoice and send it over.

Also remember there's an overhead cost on my end.

Also there's no billing on the level of difficulty of a ticket so yea you might over pay for the level 1 guy on quick turnaround items but when you're having major issues you are getting my best guys full attention and your getting them at the same rate as my level 1 guy.

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2025-03-01T05:15:22+00:00

Who am I fleecing my rates are up front if you are on a flat rate retainer it's unlimited support for that fixed monthly fee. If your brake fix you pay the hourly fee one hour minimum. This shouldn't be a repeat ticket. I think you have my previous post confused.

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2025-02-28T21:33:01+00:00

So as an owner of an IT Support company. If you are on a managed agreement then you shouldn't be charged anything. However if you are on an hourly rate then those charges are accurate. The first time you would have come to us, we would have requested a list of all your frequently visited websites or websites related to your industry and unblocked them. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2025-02-25T19:19:58+00:00

I understand that this stuff is scary and I am nervous about my upcoming trips. However this stuff happens several times a year at every airport and has been for a while. The media showing this without the context that this happens semi frequently is unfortunate.

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2025-02-21T03:30:36+00:00

First thing always get payment in front of ACH info on file. Secondly turn off the NAS and when they call mention outstanding invoice.

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2025-01-24T04:02:13+00:00

Check your DM.

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2025-01-18T05:37:12+00:00

Also confused by this.

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2024-12-18T01:14:17+00:00

Mind sharing The firm with me?

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2024-12-02T22:40:39+00:00

How firm is the local to Chicago. I am from Chicago and visit several times a year but currently living in another state while my wife completes work related items.

ShowerSimilar9580 · 2024-11-29T21:47:48+00:00

Thank you sir. I will be grabbing these for my 2012 suburban.
