Recurring revenue is one of the most obvious advantages of getting involved in the managed service provider (MSP) market. Over time, you will have an established monthly income that you can use to manage your daily business. But how can you grow your MSP business to the point of generating revenue?
From the customer side of things, using an MSP is great because it lowers IT costs, reduces labor costs, increases efficiency, and offers compliance. But how do you get customers to sign up with you to reap said benefits? ReliaTel from Tone Software (News - Alert) can help with a new program. Here’s how:
ReliaTel for MSPs helps driven business owners overcome the challenges of increasing revenue and customer numbers by delivering vendor-independent management of VoIP, UC, SIP, and IT technologies. What’s more, MSPs can expand what kinds of services they offer, reaching a broader customer base, thus resulting in more revenue.
Managed services have been around for decades in one form or another but in lean economic times, when companies are trying to keep headcount to a minimum – like now, for instance – they always seem to generate more interest. This is a good time for companies to get on the MSP bandwagon and entice customers looking to save money.
One of the greatest benefits for your business is that when you have a managed service or maintenance contract, you know that the income will be steady. This is great for cash-flow management, and predictability. It’s not much fun going in cycles all the time and working on “one time and done” types of jobs. Managed service contracts will help you become a more solid business, not to mention you will become an integral part in your customers’ business lifecycle, making your business even more secure.
If you can offer solid managed services and provide reliable services to other businesses, the good word will spread. The market is seeing more and more companies using cloud services and third-party vendors to handle the non-core parts of their business, so now is as good a time as any to consider offering managed services. ReliaTel can help grow your business, so why not find out more information?
