This is a recording from a presentation I did at Techcon Unplugged in September on inbound marketing. I posted it on YouTube but most of our audience is still on this podcast and I really think it's worth listening too!

It was an incredible event and the MSP Camp team will definitely be there again this year! Ticket link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/techcon-unplugged-2024-tickets-789463164577

I started as a marketing intern at an MSP almost 8 years ago to the day I posted this. I am now no longer working at an MSP since leaving January 1st 2024 to focus on MSP Camp full time. Cool thing is, I can now fully and objectively look back on my time as the VP of Business Development and share some of the key lessons that I learned either though success... or failure. Important lessons have come from both. I will undoubtedly have multiple parts to this series and I hope this can help you on your own journey at an MSP!

This episode is from a webinar I had with George at Augmentt. We received some positive feedback on it so I figured I would repurpose for the podcast :) I cover the top tactics we used at Alltek to get more leads from our entire team. Worked like a charm! I hope this helps you get your entire team on board with growth! If you're not an MSP Camp member yet, what are you waiting for?

Remember Hunter? The dude that gave away a Tesla? Well, he took it a step further since last time we spoke and gave away a brand new Corvette C8! I always enjoy conversations with Hunter. He is a true marketer and continues to push the envelope. I hope this episode inspired you to be bold and take a big leap!

I've always been a huge advocate of SEO. In the early days, it was as simple as setting up your Google Listing and getting 20+ reviews. That literally added a dozen or so clients in 2017. However, things have changed. Not much, but they have changed. SEO is still a weak point for most MSPs despite everyone constantly talking about it... In this episode, I speak to an MSP owner that has done an incredible job at his own SEO. He even helps other MSPs with improving their own SEO. I hope this helps you crush it at your own SEO efforts!

This is one of my all time favorite episodes. Not only is Symon just a super cool dude that's fun to talk to, but he is exceptionally insightful.

Symon is the current Director of Brand at ScalePad and has many years of managing B2B marketing teams. Don't skip this one!

Hunter practices what he preaches. he's one of the few MSP Marketing companies that... I actually see marketing their business well. We covered a lot of excellent topics on this episode, including 5 actionable tips to improve you marketing. however, the general theme revolved around Google PPC (hence the name) because his knowledge in this realm is very impressive. Come with us down the rabbit hole as we explore Google PPC best practices and other MSP Marketing topics.

I'll spare you on any networking puns. Very rarely have I heard anyone say they love networking. You're not alone, but that shouldn't stop us from going out and meeting people.

In this video we discuss some tips to get the most out of networking and some things you'll want to avoid...

There's no SEO value in autoposting blogs to your website. Depending on what service you use, it can also confuse search engines making it harder for you to rank the custom content your prospects might have found. You do not get penalized for posting duplicate content on your website, but it does have some negative effects we cover. Short tip today but this one is so important it deserves its own episode!
