Managed Service Packaging Challenge
“The biggest challenge in managed services today is the trap of selling point solutions.
We go for client relationships where we own and deliver a complete managed services bundle, where business continuity is just a piece of the overall solution.”

Labor Cost Challenge
“We see too many MSPs leaving money on the table.
They over commit in their pricing bundles and get creamed on their labor costs down the road.”

SCC BDR Sales Strategy
1. Understand client needs in their terms
2. Unbundle the offering and build on it
3. Protect the margin (minimum 66% per deal, down to 50% with manager approval)
1. Understand Needs in Their Terms
• Ask clients to explain their expectations• Ask them to quantify tolerable downtime
by key application/function• Ask them to quantify cost-per-hour of
downtime
• Don’t sell BDR features/performance specs; respond to the client’s needs directly!
2. Unbundle and Build
• Own the equipment right away, and have the client pay for it
• Give clients ultimate flexibility• Add periodic services that clients will
pay for – testing, DR drills, reporting
