What Are Your STMPs?

How do you present your solution to your CoMITs or Pure clients?

Every MSP relies on their STMPs. Software, Tools, Methodologies and Portals. Essentially all of the things that go into their solution delivery.

With CoMITs, there’s the added challenge of configuring and sharing your STMPs with the Internal IT resources, but without compromising the integrity of your offerings. Let’s discuss.

Free CoMITs Chat: CoMITs and Pure MSP: Living Together = $

What’s the secret of making $ with an MSP? Doing More with less (increase revenue with a lower increase in cost and wasteful friction).

Same thing here. Let’s talk about how to make sure that the CoMITs offering is going to parallel the existing pure MSP as much as possible. And that’s critical in all aspects of the organization, including marketing, sales and service delivery.

Free CoMITs Chat: Don't Let the Client Drive!

In my (very) numerous conversations with MSPs over the past few years, my estimate is that about 60% of MSPs have a “CoMITs'“ relationship. By that I mean an MRR agreement that goes beyond licensing with a client that has an internal IT department.

And yet very few MSPs actually have a formal definition of what their CoMITs offerings are? That creates problems in terms of wanting to market, sell and grow your CoMITs services.

Defining Your CoMITs

The critical first step for building a CoMITs practice is…defining what the heck your practice is going to be in the first place. Too often MSP’s find themselves letting the clients define what the CoMITs offering is, leaving the MSP with no good way to reproduce and scale (which is the way we make anything in the MSP model profitable). Learn from what works for me (and what didn’t). Easy lessons for you (harder lessons for me<g>).

CoMITs Assessments

This webinar we’ll be talking about performing IT assessments using the audIT Sales Presentation System (although there will be useful info beyond that).

From Mike’s announcement:

We are very excited to have Bob Coppedge joining us for an educational webinar on ideas about marketing, selling and servicing to organizations with internal IT staff. Bob calls this CoMITs (Co-Managed IT services). CoMITs is a huge opportunity for MSPs looking to rapidly grow their business. And in the age of Covid, look for this to be an even bigger opportunity that MSPs should be acting on fast. Bob is the leading expert on offering CoMITs. He literally wrote the book on it: ‘The MSP’S Survival Guide To Co-Managed IT Services’, available on Amazon Learn all about how you can leverage this in your MSP this Thursday, August 13th at 2pm EST.

We’ll be talking about performing Assessments for CoMITs opportunities. Both how they differ from “pure” MSP opps, and how they’re different.
