To paraphrase “Kill Bill: Vol 1,” the epic Quentin Tarantino movie: “The path to excellence is never a straight line. It’s a forest. Like a forest, it’s easy to lose your way, to get lost, to forget where you came in.”
With that in mind, it’s impossible to stumble into success. It takes a plan; a charted course that highlights your strengths and minimizes your weaknesses. The first step to developing that plan is to take a moment for reflection. Where are you in relation to the rest of the industry? What are they doing well? What ideas can you borrow? Then the multimillion-dollar question: How can you market your secret recipe of services and deliver them better than anyone else?
ChannelPro’s 2024 Special Report-Edition 2 is designed to help. Within these pages, you will find expert opinions, resources, success stories, and actionable advice focused on achieving excellence.
We’ll share words of wisdom from inspired channel leaders and consider their priorities and methodologies. We’ll talk about the power of taking an analytics-driven approach to improving
business processes. Without metrics as a reality check, your gut feelings may be leading you astray.
With help from the experts in our Advisory Group, we’ll identify 24 profit-driving solutions to help you wow clients and earn more recurring revenue. As you read, it’s a golden opportunity to re-evaluate your approach to vendor selection and dig in with a little research.
We’ll also profile 20 of the top MSPs that our Advisory Group views as exceptional. Our definition of “top” is broad. It isn’t just revenue — we want to zero in on people who are innovating, meeting commitments, and adhering to ethics along the way. We encourage you to check out their websites and social media accounts. How do you stack up?
Among the MSPs we’re celebrating is John Kampas of EMPIST, a Chicago-based, full-service technology company. Kampas shares best practices in his own words as part of this edition’s PeerToPeer article. Kampas grew EMPIST from one to four offices, now including the company’s first international location. I hope you draw inspiration and a renewed sense of energy from his story.
I could go on and on. I’m proud of this quarterly publication, just as I am proud of our industry overall. But we can do more together to lift the MSP community.
