MSP Revolution 2008!
Don't be left out! The MSP Revolution 2008 event is the only event this year where we go deep into the Managed Services Business Model and deliver a proven Road Map to profitability in Managed Services.
I invite you to be a part of this exciting and new way to immerse yourself in true business training. This is a whole new conference format that will not only be worth your time in networking with your peers, but you will actually leave with a written Plan of Action (POA) that will map your path to profits with Managed Services.
Emerging MSPs will learn what it takes to be Best in Class! Through this fast paced, high energy experience you will learn what it REALLY takes to bring your business to the top of the Channel.
Day 1: Thursday evening starts with registration, cocktails and networking with your peers.
Day 2: Dive in Friday with a fast paced, open-ended Executive MBA business simulator developed specifically for the Managed Services Provider business model.
MSPSN is bringing Fortune 500 level MBA business management training to the SMB Channel through a partnership with Andromeda training, the United States’ foremost business simulator development team. Well known for helping executives strengthen all aspects of running and managing their business through this focused and intensive management education that allows them to work through and resolve major business decisions in a fun, fast paced environment.
Working in teams, participants gain an experience of what it is like to operate a business in a competitive market. They make all the decisions - production, marketing, sales, finance, and own all the results. Teams and long-term professional friendships are built in a challenging game environment. The secret benefit is that some very thorough business finance learning occurs. Join us that evening as we recognize the winners of the MSP business simulator during our dinner reception.
Days 3 & 4: We will be applying the concepts learned from Day 2 to the MSP business model in a workshop format. These days will be spent developing your POA (Plan of Action), a step by step guide to moving forward with the MSP model. The POA & workshop presentations will dive deep into:
· Defining SLA’s and Service Offerings
· Pricing Methodologies
· Marketing & Selling your Managed Services
· Building a Profitable Service Desk
· and more…
Don’t miss this opportunity to take your business to the next level. Click HERE to register today! |

Amy Luby
CEO
MSPSN
Amy Luby, Principal and founder of MSPSN has over 12 years experience in providing IT services to the SMB market. MSPSN provides the framework for the Managed Services Provider (MSP) Community to communicate and collaborate, the training and guidance in mastering the MSP business model, and the tools to manage and build their businesses.
In the last four years, MSPSN has provided the leadership and guidance, along with a proven profitable road map helping over 400 VARs make the transition into a profitable Managed Services business model. In the beginning, MSPSN travelled nationally providing workshops and training for VARs all over the US, and served on numerous guest panels including SMB Nation and Microsoft World Wide Partner Conferences to help the SMB Channel evolve into a profitable Managed Services business model. In June of 2007 MSPSN’s CEO, Amy Luby, was featured in the cover story of Redmond Channel Partner Magazine as being an innovator and leader in the evolution of developing profitable Managed Services solutions and developing a successful managed services business model.
In 2007, MSPSN launched their partner portal (www.mspsn.com) to provide a way for MSPs to collaborate all over the globe in real time. MSPSN also went global in 2007 by acquiring over 100 partners in the UK, New Zealand, and Australia who are looking to MSPSN to provide a proven road map to profitable managed services. MSPSN has created the infrastructure through their web portal to allow partners to collaborate and communicate in real time on building up their businesses. MSPSN provides monthly training and support via the portal and through webinars, conference calls, and chats. MSPSN works with the top MSP vendors and manufacturers in the Channel, such as Level Platforms, Trend Micro, and Reflexion to develop clear and profitable solutions for the small MSP and delivers those solutions to their partners every day. In October of 2007 MSPSN launched their Virtual Service Desk to provide the backend support to their partners and provide a clear, profitable and sustainable services offering that their partners can deliver out to their end user base that allows their partners to go to market quickly and profitably.
MSPSN has “put their money where their mouth is” so to speak by showing their partners exactly how to deliver managed services based on the model that MSPSN built. MSPSN delivers the tools, the education, and the business model itself out to its partners and boasts great results with their partner base. Our partners are growing their client bases, adding employees, and growing their revenues exponentially by following MSPSN’s model in delivering Managed Services.
MSPSN also works hard to bring other individuals in the Channel together to provide “co-opetition” opportunities to enhance the Channel even more. MSPSN is currently working with some of the most innovative leaders in the MSP space to deliver a conference event like no other in September 2008 (www.msprevolution.com). “The more we can work together to provide a clear, proven, and profitable path to the Channel in evolving their business model, the better the whole Channel eco-system will be, says Amy Luby, CEO MSPSN.
