If you’re like me, you are sick of the campaign commercials, texts, rallies and partisan fist fights at the local Kwik-E-Mart. As part of ChannelPro’s never-ending quest to prepare you for everything that life throws at you, please enjoy our MSP Voting Guide.
Developed as a non-partisan guide to rally you for the initiatives that can improve the MSP industry as a whole. No campaign ads, no debates—just simple, actionable ideas for moving the IT channel in right direction! We’ll leave the actual presidential election voting to you!
MSP VOTER GUIDE
Vote YES on Improving Customer Service!
- Why Vote Yes? A little extra attention can go a long way. Satisfied customers are more likely to renew contracts, trust your team, and recommend you to others. Every good experience counts!
- Campaign Slogan: “More happy customers, fewer escalations!”
Vote YES on Investing in the Latest Tools!
- Why Vote Yes? New tools mean better, faster, more reliable service delivery. MSPs need up-to-date technology to service more clients with fewer headaches.
- Campaign Slogan: “Say goodbye to old tech struggles—vote yes to enhanced service delivery!”
Vote NO on Technical Jargon!
- Why Vote No? Customers want to understand the problem in the simplest possible terms without feeling dumb.
- Campaign Slogan: “Clearer communication, happier clients!”
Vote YES on Improving Internal Cybersecurity!
- Why Vote Yes? As threats grow more sophisticated, clients expect their MSP to be the first line of defense. Strengthening your own cybersecurity is a critical first step.
- Campaign Slogan: “For a secure future—vote to strengthen cyber defenses!”
Vote YES on AI and Automation!
- Why Vote Yes? AI tools can automate repetitive tasks, spot issues before they arise, and free up your team’s time for higher-value work.
- Campaign Slogan: “Automate, innovate, and elevate!”
Vote NO on Being Mean to the MSP that Replaces You!
- Why Vote No? Everyone loses clients. Helping the new MSP is an important professional courtesy. If they screw up, you might win the business back.
- Campaign Slogan: “We’re NOT gonna reset the admin passwords and lock everyone out!”
Vote YES on Peer Networking!
- Why Vote Yes? Not networking endpoints, networking with people. Sharing best practices makes the industry stronger. It also means you can spot new opportunities and outpace competitors.
- Campaign Slogan: “M-S-P Community!”
Vote for Self-Care and Avoiding Burnout!
- Why Vote Yes? The IT channel is full of workhorses. But a well-rested team is a more effective one. Prioritize breaks, encourage work-life balance, and create a culture where burnout isn’t a norm.
- Campaign Slogan: “A rested team is a powerful team!”
Is that TOO Political? How About…
Vote YES on Abolishing Hold Music on Help Desk Support Lines!
- Why Vote Yes? Because no one deserves to hear that same, scratchy loop of smooth jazz ever again. Let’s make hold music a thing of the past!
Vote YES to Make Fridays Official 3-Hour Workdays!
- Why Vote Yes? More time for R&R, less time for spreadsheets. With a shorter Friday, the weekend starts sooner, and morale goes up!
Vote NO on Mandatory Password Changes!
- Why Vote No? Because changing “Password123” to “Password124” is not actually improving security.
Vote YES for More Holidays Dedicated to ‘Tech Appreciation!’
- Why Vote Yes? Let’s take an extra day or two a year to thank the real heroes of our lives—our laptops, our Wi-Fi, and yes, our chargers.
Vote YES to Replace the “Reply All” Button with “Are You Sure About That?”
- Why Vote Yes? One click can lead to chaos. Save your team from email overload—and embarrassment—by supporting the cause!
Vote YES to Make Wi-Fi Free and Plentiful Everywhere!
- Why Vote Yes? No more hunting for passwords or signing up for newsletters. In a perfect world, Wi-Fi would just be there, like water or air conditioning.
This ChannelPro MSP Voting Guide is not endorsed by any candidates. It’s simply here to give you a chuckle and get you thinking. Do your civic duty on Election Day. For MSPs in Chicago, please only do that duty once.
