2025/02/28

Now, if you've ever been in the frustrating position of recruiting someone you thought was perfect for the job, only to find out they’re not the right fit at all, you’re not alone. This happens more often than you might think, and in today’s episode, we uncover exactly why MSPs keep attracting the wrong people—and more importantly, how to stop it from happening. Julie shares a story from a recent conversation with an MSP owner who was struggling to find the right person for their team. They

The IT Experts Podcast ·

2025/02/21

For those who aren’t familiar, B Corp is essentially a certification that demonstrates a company’s commitment to social and environmental responsibility. It’s often described as the gold standard for ethical business practices, ensuring that organisations consider the impact of their decisions on employees, customers, suppliers, the community, and the planet. It’s about running a business with integrity and proving that you’re doing the right thing—not just saying you are. Gildas explained that

EP220 – Improving Service Delivery in your MSP with...

The IT Experts Podcast ·

2025/02/14

One of the biggest takeaways from our conversation is that when clients say an MSP is “too expensive,” what they actually mean is that they don’t see the value in the service. This is a massive problem in the industry. MSPs often assume that if tickets are low and complaints are minimal, everything is running smoothly. But in reality, service delivery is about so much more than just fixing issues. It’s about building relationships, setting clear expectations, and continuously improving processes to

The IT Experts Podcast ·

2025/02/07

One of the biggest challenges we see in the MSP space is that many business owners started their journey as technical experts. They didn’t necessarily set out to run a business – they just knew they were great at what they did and wanted to do it better than the company they worked for. The problem? Running a business requires a completely different skill set to just doing the technical work. At some point, every MSP owner reaches that moment where they realise they can’t do it all themselves. But

The IT Experts Podcast ·

2025/01/24

We began by addressing a common stigma: why so many MSPs avoid Apple devices despite their undeniable popularity and premium quality. Ben highlighted that while many MSPs are deeply rooted in the Microsoft ecosystem—largely due to its strong channel support and financial incentives—Apple has been quietly making significant inroads into the business world. In fact, as Ben pointed out, companies like IBM and Cisco have embraced Apple devices, with up to 60% of their employees choosing Apple when

2025/01/03

We kicked things off by addressing the ever-present mystery surrounding the LinkedIn algorithm. Sam’s straightforward advice? Stop blaming the algorithm for poor results. She explained that if your content isn’t resonating or your impressions are dropping, the issue likely lies with the content itself. Whether people are scrolling LinkedIn out of boredom or to sell something, your job is to create compelling, scroll-stopping content that connects with your audience on a human level. Sam emphasised

2024/12/13

Julie Hutchison kicks off by addressing what many of us know as "imposter syndrome," though she’s quick to debunk the term. It’s not a syndrome, she explains; you’re not broken. Instead, it’s a very human response that stems from our brain’s primitive mechanisms for survival. Drawing on the analogy of a caveman running from a lion, Julie highlights how our amygdala – a small but powerful part of our brain – is constantly scanning for threats. While this helped keep our ancestors alive, today it

Mark Lambert shared practical insights into why selling the tech alone won’t cut it in today’s market. Instead, he stresses the importance of focusing on outcomes that matter to your prospects, such as improving productivity, enhancing security, and solving tangible business challenges. As Mark explains, clients don’t care whether you’re using Office 365 or the latest security stack; they care about how you’ll help their business thrive. This shift from a tech-focused to a problem-solving mindset

2024/11/29

One of the key takeaways from this conversation is understanding why MSPs find content creation so difficult in the first place. Nigel pointed out that many MSP owners are simply stretched too thin. Whether they’re managing cybersecurity threats, fielding client calls, or running the day-to-day operations of their business, creating content often falls to the bottom of the priority list. Add to that the natural tendency for MSP owners—many of whom identify as introverted “techies”—to shy away from

The IT Experts Podcast ·

2024/11/22

Teresa Heath-Wareing introduces us to a crucial understanding of how self-sabotage works, explaining that many of us fall into patterns that keep us comfortable but ultimately hinder our growth. Self-sabotaging behaviours often stem from a place of fear—whether it's fear of failure, fear of judgment, or even fear of success. When we’re stepping into new or uncomfortable situations, our brain can see these as potential threats, activating a “protection mode” that drives us back to our comfort

We kicked off with a straightforward explanation of what the dark web actually is. Tony clarified the distinctions between the open web (the visible internet we all use daily), the deep web (pages that aren’t indexed by search engines and require authentication, like online banking portals), and the dark web. The dark web is a hidden section of the internet that’s intentionally obscured and often requires specific software, like Tor, to access. While it’s not exclusively for criminal activity, the

Our conversation opens with Josh explaining why so many MSPs find recruitment such a challenging task. He points out that MSPs often carry a reputation for intense, fast-paced environments that might deter potential candidates who are looking for a better work-life balance. This, coupled with the industry's persistent skills shortage, makes recruitment even more complex for MSPs. Josh goes on to share insights on what MSPs can do to tackle these obstacles head-on, starting with how they present

Gabriel Herman explained that neurodiversity encompasses various conditions, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each with its unique challenges and strengths. He emphasised that autism itself presents a particularly unique challenge, as many autistic individuals may struggle to articulate their needs due to the very nature of their condition. As a result, identifying reasonable adjustments in the workplace can be difficult, making it crucial for employers to proactively develop an

Many MSPs I speak to know something isn't quite right in their business, but they don't always know where to start when it comes to fixing it. It can feel overwhelming trying to juggle all the different moving parts – managing a team, focusing on technical work, and attempting to drive sales and marketing efforts all at once.
