New And Advanced Extended Session:

The 6 Most Powerful Marketing “Bullets” To Lift Your Business From A Sea Of Sameness To The Most Trusted, Respected And Credible IT Services Company In Your Market

Imagine walking into every sales meeting with absolute authority, trust and respect already established with the prospect you’re meeting with… Where you can advise prospects WITHOUT running into ridiculous fee resistance…WITHOUT stubborn objections…WITHOUT having your recommendations questioned…WITHOUT having to do a lot of “convincing” and hard-core closing where you and the prospect both feel like you need a shower. I’ve always said, if selling is hard, your marketing is flawed – and during this session I’ll give you the formula for the six MOST powerful strategies to rise you above all other IT firms in your over-cluttered marketplace and get QUALITY accounts to seek you out, presold, prequalified and ready to take your advice. You’ll discover:

Specific Marketing Assets You MUST HAVE To Establish Authority And Credibility. Not all marketing is created equal – I’ll show you specific tools, strategies and techniques to establish trust, authority and credibility. Do this, and you’ll be a “Grand Canyon–sized” leap ahead of every competitor in your marketplace.

How To Attract And Successfully Sell To CEOs Of Big Companies. The big, high-profit managed services deals aren’t secured from small, broke, struggling business owners – and if you want to land those big deals, you MUST know how to sell and influence high-net-worth CEOs who have a different buying criteria than small “shop” owners.

How To Design Your Sales Process To Build Authority And Trust. Most IT firms are saying and doing things in their sales process that are KILLING trust and putting them in the dreaded “just another salesperson” category (NOT a trusted advisor). I’ll show you the most essential building blocks and processes for a high-trust, high-influence sales process – and we can practically guarantee you’re not using them now.

What Prospective Clients REALLY Want To Know Before They Buy, But Won’t Ask. To build trust, you must be certain these elements are prominent on your website and all other marketing collateral. Prospects won’t ask, but they WILL look for them.

The Absolute Best Way To Land Appointments With New Prospects. When you know how to orchestrate your marketing assets, media, message and delivery to show up like no one else, you’ll find there is no door you cannot get in, no appointment you can’t land – but not all appointments are the same. I’ll show you the secrets to landing appointments that are EASY to close, with prospects EAGER to buy.

Special Session For New Members:

How To Break Free From Being Small, Struggling And Stuck To Building A R.E.A.L. IT Services Business

After working with well over 10,000 IT services companies in the last 20 years, here’s what I know: R.E.A.L. (Rewarding, Easy, Attractive and Lucrative) entrepreneurs get RICH, and T.E.C.H.s with helpers (Tedious, Exhausting, Chaotic and Hard) get TIRED (and stay broke).

The question is, which one do you want to be?

Our research indicates that 76% of the IT firms out there are under a million in revenue, have ZERO marketing or sales systems in place, are saddled with debt, horrible profit margins and overrun with cheap, low-paying customers – ALL of which make for a stressful, frustrating and low-money “job” for the owner.

Less than 5% ever get past $5 million in revenue – and never build true wealth, stability and financial freedom for themselves and their organization. Many end up surrendering by working for a competitor or selling their business for pennies, forced to get a job or scrape by in retirement – and it’s completely unnecessary!

If you don’t want that to be YOU, then this session is a must-attend workshop designed for new Toolkit members or those who’ve been clients for a while, but still unable to get ahead.

Robin will cover:

The 3 main stages of entrepreneurial growth, as well as the sticking points you’ll need to work through, how your role must change in each stage and the pitfalls you have to watch for that will suck you down into the “valley of death.”
How to finally implement marketing systems that deliver a steady, consistent flow of prospects calling your office so you can afford to be a LOT pickier about who you accept as a client.
How to build your “money” team (sales and marketing) so THEY do the heavy lifting of generating leads, sales and opportunities, giving you the ability to scale and grow.
How to overcome fee resistance to start getting bigger, more lucrative clients – this is CRITICAL to making money and progress instead of just being “busy.”
How to finally elevate yourself to “owner” instead of a “tech with helpers” so you can take a vacation without the wheels falling off, make money without having to do all the work, babysit your employees and be CONSTANTLY stressed out.

Who is Marcus Lemonis?

Featured Speaker:

Marcus Lemonis, The Business Turnaround King

Many know him as the “business turnaround king” and star of CNBC’s prime time reality series The Profit. Lemonis’ notoriety has been established by his tenacity, shrewdness and determination.

On his TV show, The Profit, he lends his expertise to struggling small businesses around the country, judging and improving them with a “3P” principle: “People/Process/Product”.

Worth the price of admission, in this special session, Marcus is going to share strategies you should follow right now to not just survive this crisis but to come out of it stronger than ever! Over the coming months it’ll be crucial to have a good business plan and strategy and that’s just what the “business turnaround king” is going to share with you. This session will give you a head start on your competition and the ability to successfully maneuver your way through the current economic landscape with land mines just looking to blow up your business. This is a “must attend” session for all!

Who is Greg Crabtree?

Greg Crabtree

Speaker, Author, Entrepreneur And Financial Expert

The Single Most Important Financial Metric Every MSP Must Know And Manage To

One of the toughest things for any MSP to figure out is are you as profitable as you SHOULD be, and if not, how do you fix it? Do you need to raise prices? Are you overstaffed? Are you paying too much in salary for the production you’re getting and gross margin you’re making? During this session, Greg Crabtree will conduct a deep dive into LER, or labor efficiency ratio, specific to a MSP business. This metric will provide answers about whether or not you’re overstaffed or paying too much for salary to make the profits that you want. Greg will detail exactly how to calculate gross margin; specifically what costs in an IT services business should be put into COGS. He will also discuss “contribution margin” for an MSP so you can see how each line of service (managed services, projects, VoIP, application development, etc.) are contributing to your bottom line, giving you the answers to where you aren’t as profitable as you need to be, and what to do about it.

Celebrity Branding: How To Use Paid Media To Become A "Mini-Celebrity" To Your Chosen Market

With so many IT firms competing over the same opportunities, how can you stand out and be seen as the “go-to” expert in your niche (target market) so you don’t have to compete on price? How can you position yourself as a trusted advisor…a mini celebrity in your area of expertise, be it cyber security, IT services, co-managed IT, compliance or all of the above?

During this session, we will show you how the big guys use PAID media to get FOUND by prospects and achieve celebrity status to stand above your competition, building trust and making price a non-issue. Paid media is actually the “dirty little secret” many well-known authors, speakers, consultants and top CEOs use to gain massive awareness and appear to be bigger and more well-known than everyone else they compete with. This session will show you exactly how to do the same for yourself.

Website Scorecard: What To Do When Your Website Isn’t Working (Producing NO Leads)

If you are frustrated because your website isn’t delivering qualified leads on a consistent basis, this is a session you don’t want to miss. During this workshop, we’ll show you how to diagnose your website to find out WHY it’s not delivering more prospects and the specific steps to take to make it start producing. We’ll cover the cardinal “conversion sins” most MSPs and IT services firms make on their site that repel hot prospects and prevent leads from coming in, as well as what most MSP and IT services websites deliver in terms of visitors, leads and opportunities (so you can compare yourself to your peers). As an attendee, you’ll have the opportunity to get YOUR website reviewed (and fixed)) live by our experts.

NEW: The Secret To Getting More Leads When You Have No List, No E-mails And No Cold Calling

One of the top challenges MSPs have is, “How can I do marketing when I barely have a list…and zero email addresses?” Before, it used to be nearly impossible, and we sent MSPs to go to the grunt work of building a list using Google scraping, buying and cleaning lists, cold calling, etc. But now, using a variety of online tools, we’ve developed a process for not only building a list but getting campaigns delivered to hot prospects using legitimate, non-spam communications. Best of all, many of these strategies can be put on autopilot to work around the clock, building a list and giving you prospects automatically – without direct mail, spamming or making cold calls. Too good to be true? Well, you’ll have to attend to find out!

The NEW Digital Marketing Blueprint: Robin’s 8-Step Process To Generating INBOUND Leads Online

When it comes to digital marketing, most MSPs either A) Try to do it all themselves, lose a TON of $$$, fail to convert, and throw their hands up, B) Pay an agency WAY TOO MUCH and still not get the results, or C) Worst of all, they do NO digital marketing and lose out on all of the opportunities looking for IT support online. As a result, you IGNORE today’s biggest growth opportunity — DIGITAL MARKETING — because it sucks all of your time AND all of your ad spend. In this session, you will see our proprietary Digital Marketing Blueprint that shows you how get true ROI from marketing online. From delivering the right traffic, to engaging your audience, to generating leads and appointments, we’ll show you the right way to market online.

If you know you need to do more marketing and don’t have the time to do it, this is the session for you! Mike Stodola, Technology Marketing Toolkit’s Chief Marketing Officer, will show you how to build your marketing team and show you who to hire and what to outsource.

Many MSPs waste a lot of time and money with the wrong people handling their marketing. Or worse…not doing marketing at all. Often, that’s simply because they don’t have a clear idea of who they need or what that person should be doing.

3 Telltale Signs Your Appointment Setter Is Failing You (And How To Fix Them If They’re Not)

There’s a myriad of potential problems – and during this session, Robin’s own Call Center Manager will give you three key things to do when your rep isn’t hitting quota so you can instantly find out where they are going wrong and correct it.

All the while clients wonder what they’re paying for since they don’t really “see” these tools.

How You Can Close More Managed Service Contracts Using a Simple Penetration Test (AND Avoid Becoming The Next Tragic Tale Of An MSP Devastated By Ransomware)

Can You Imagine? You wake up one morning to discover a hacker has gained access to all your tools, passwords and clients, and is demanding a HUGE ransom to restore your clients’ data.

Your team is demoralized. Clients are pissed. Their business has ground to a halt. They are cursing your name. You and your team will be working around the clock to make it right…

One single event like this could DESTROY your reputation, your business, and your livelihood.

What if there was a better way?

What if you had a third party who found the vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and mistakes that are leaving you vulnerable (before the hackers do) …

What if you could use the same tools and methodology to sell new prospects and upsell cybersecurity to your existing clients? Wouldn’t that be a goldmine?

Regulatory Compliance And The Futureproof MSP

The world around us is constantly changing, which means the MSP of today won’t look like the service provider of tomorrow. You can now control the future of your business with compliance. HIPAA compliance evolves your business into offering critical business functions, while keeping you relevant over time. 

Companies in healthcare, manufacturing, and other critical sectors, who host sensitive data, are required by law to invest heavily in compliance or risk enormous fines and penalties. Yet, many medical practices, manufacturers, and small business owners still do NOT have the compliance and security they need in place, leaving a huge opportunity for any MSP that can provide these services.

During this session, our VP Partner Engagement and Cybersecurity, Paul Redding will discuss exactly what this opportunity is, and how the MSP of today can evolve into the Business Solution Provider of tomorrow.

What Cowpokes Who Gathered ‘Round Previous Boot Camp “Fires” Had To Say:

"We'll Be Back Every Year!"

“One of the best breakouts at Boot Camp was the QBR breakout. We received so much valuable information from that single hour. We put it into practice immediately and picked up the AudIT software package that many had mentioned. Sitting down for QBRs and having the right tool helped us close a new piece of business within a week at $2900/month and $24,000 in project work. This more than paid for AudIT and Bootcamp in a single event. We’ll be back every year!”

"Thanks For A Wonderful Experience..."

“Thanks for a wonderful experience. I came into Boot Camp with kind of a worn-down demeanor and left feeling really awesome and reinvigorated. Thanks to Robin, Jeff and the rest of the team for the usual ace job of presenting a fantastic show for all of us.”

"One Of The Most Inspiring Events Of My Life"

“I’m so happy that Aaron convinced me to join Accelerators and get those boot camp tickets. That was one of the most inspiring events of my life. Soooo good! I’ve been struggling trying to figure out what was the one thing that I learned that I can start doing right away. I don’t have that answer because there were so many things. But if I was forced to answer the question, I would just have to say “Get off your ass and just do it”! Start executing. And I will do just that.”
