“Chief Nerd” Chris Barber insists that networking is critical to building a successful MSP. It’s important to get out there and show them a side of you they won’t forget. Like he tells ChannelPro Tech Editor Matt Whitlock, Barber is “kind of a cartoon character,” but people remember him. The pair discuss how joining organizations — from local chambers of commerce to groups specific to the industry, like the National Society of IT Service Providers — can be a game changer for MSPs, how these memberships can result in not just new clients but leads for even more, and how these connections can make a difference in buying decisions. There are plenty of insights in this episode that you won’t want to miss!
