Be Different. Deliver Excellence.

I recently attended the CharTec Sales Lab facilitated by Alex Rogers, and found it to be one of the most intense sales trainings for MSPs looking to increase their managed services sales! CharTec Sales Lab is an intense week long boot camp that culminates in giving the presentation pitch and closing the deal in order to graduate!
The problem is the IT solutions no longer sell themselves. Services in the Managed IT space have become a commodity. The “best” BDR solutions, firewalls, antivirus, remote monitoring/remediation, etc. no longer distinguish you.
“But our business is different!” Is it..? In a room full of sales people from all over the country, Alex asks “What do you do better?” In other words, what makes your business better than the one you’re sitting next to?
Almost 90% of MSPs in the room said they were better at response time, followed by customer service, smart technicians and communication.
It was pretty eye opening knowing a majority of MSPs are saying the same things as 90% of their competitors. Not only are most MSPs selling the same value proposition, we are solution selling. Meaning we are trying to get as many of our solutions out to see if something sticks. Unfortunately, for a lot of sales people it would be better described as solutions vomit!
Everything has become a commodity in the MSP world. If you’re looking for a training that can help you increase your sales and differentiate, I’d highly recommend attending the next CharTec Sales Lab in Bakersfield, CA.
