Most Marketing For MSPs Is Expensive,
Ineffective & Stressful.

fact

71% of Business Ads Are Useless

fact

84% Of B2B Sales Come Via Referrals

fact

87% Of MSP's Clients Would Refer Them

Yet Only For a Referral

Here's Why Most MSP Marketing Doesn’t Work...

According to a study of 600 ads by the LinkedIn-backed B2B Institute, 71 per cent are likely to generate no sales.

Furthermore, from the hundreds of MSPs MKLINK have spoken with, the vast majority of them get new business from referrals.

This backs up the finding that 84% of B2B decision-makers begin the purchase process with a referral (Influitive). Our own extensive research also backs up the well-known adage that around 90% of clients will offer a referral. However, only 11% of businesses actually ask for them (Carnegie).

 

MSP Owners Are Often Too Busy To Pick Up the "Low Hanging Fruit" of Easy Sales-Leads

It obviously makes sense to ensure referrals are maximised and marketing costs (e.g. advertising that's not working) are either scrapped or at least very closely scrutinised.

Excellent communications are at the heart of generating more leads, referrals and sales. It’s not enough to simply be good at what you do, it’s essential to communicate the value that you provide effectively and on a regular basis.

Many MSP owners and managers understand the importance of maintaining regular contact with their clients and prospects. However because the IT industry is so busy and frenetic, MSP business owners find they don’t have time to create good content or send it out.

This means they either have to pay lots of money to expensive marketing agencies or miss out on regular communications altogether.

This is why we launched MKLINK's MSP Marketing Club. It's the UK's Longest-Established and Most Exclusive Content Marketing Club for MSPs.

Tech News

Benefit # 1 All You Can Eat Weekly Marketing MSP Content

This is why our MSP marketing club comes in so handy. It's called the Sustainable Competitive Advantage for MSPs. Among other things, members receive all-you-can-eat MSP-specific marketing content each week containing interesting, relevant and up-to-date IT news and information. Our MSP members which use this content enjoy much higher than average email open rates when they send newsletters out. As you’d expect, the open-rate stats are regularly shared with our members.

Additionally, you can request content written about a topic of your choice and where practical, we'll include it in the next week's content for you.

As well as having all the content you’ll ever need so that you can keep your website fresh and your blog updated and your newsletters regular and the ever-hungry social media channels continually fed with interesting, relevant and shareable content, there are significant other benefits of membership too.

"The weekly content supplied by MKLink is fantastic, and our open and click through rates are well above the industry averages.

Furthermore, the events and webinars etc that I have attended have always been very useful, informative, and engaging, and I have no hesitation in recommending MKLink."

Exclusivity

Benefit # 2 Exclusivity

The membership is exclusive, which means that there will never, ever be more than 149 members in the UK.

This means you get the best value of excellent content for an affordable price and you can be sure that your content isn’t being copied and shared by hundreds or even thousands of other MSPs posting the same boring old stuff.

On top of that, there’s only one MSP per geographical area, meaning that there’s no conflict of interest and that members can and help each other out.

"I’ve looked at various options for having an IT-related newsletter sent out to our customers and prospects on our behalf and yours is definitely the best value I’ve found, particularly combined with the excellent UK-based MSP community you have created around the chat group.

It works well in that due to our respective geographical locations we don’t tread on each other’s toes, so it makes for valuable discussions in the group, some of which continue offline too. Your down-to-earth, no-nonsense approach is very much appreciated.

Please keep going!"

Community

Benefit # 3 Close-Knit Community : Get Help In Realtime

All members have access to a private chat group where they pass leads and referrals as well as tips and advice and technical expertise. Going above and beyond all the juicy gossip about the industry as a whole and who’s charging what for different services, it’s a wonderfully supportive community and questions and answers are posted in real-time, very often with members getting help and advice much quicker than they ever would if they rang up a supplier directly.

So, next time you want to know how much a particular distributor has been charging for their services or if a national supplier’s service has gone down ... or if you need boots on the ground on the other side of the country ... you can get help within minutes, not hours and days.

Thanks Mike and the team."

Marketing Training

Benefit # 4 Regular Live Monthly MSP Marketing Meetups via Zoom

On top of the weekly MSP marketing content and member-to-member support network, there’s also monthly training as well, via live Zoom calls. Training is typically about MSP marketing issues and can cover any aspect about getting more leads and sales.

We cover other subjects too and some of the very successful MSPs we interview often share some really helpful insights into how to run a  more profitable business. After all, there’s no substitute for experience.

Conversely, we occasionally have meetings where we find what problems MSPs owners are facing and then help to solve them together. These online meetings are live and with fairly small groups so you can ask questions as well as speak directly to the other members if you want.
