How Can Sales-Qualified Leads Give Your Business the Boost It Needs for Faster ROI? Read more!
As a lead generation partner for many MSPs for the last 7 years, we have observed many things which are very important. We started our journey with a Canadian MSP and now we are servicing more than 150 MSPs.
Managed service providers (MSPs)
are facing a common challenge in today's competitive market- a lack of
qualified leads. Despite having a strong portfolio of services and expertise,
many MSPs are struggling to attract the right type of leads that can ultimately
become potential clients. As a lead generation partner for
many MSPs, this is the most common problem we have seen. Let’s understand the
reasons here-
1.
Prospecting: It
is very important to understand your target audience. MSPs often cast a wide
net when it comes to lead generation, targeting anyone and everyone who may
need IT services. This approach can result in a high volume of leads but, often,
they are not qualified or interested in the services offered. We recommend
reaching out to the nearby businesses and then spreading the prospecting
radius.
2.
Weak value proposition: Another
reason why MSPs struggle to generate sales qualified leads is a weak value
proposition. Pricing is not the only factor most of the businesses look for.
Response time, expertise quality, team experience are some of the very
important factors for any business to consider a MSP.
3.
Failure to demonstrate
expertise: We have seen MSPs saying yes to everything when prospects come
up with problems, but these problems are very immediate in nature and sometimes
MSPs look for outside help if not done from an internal team. It is ok to say
“no, we haven’t done this kind of work” and would be willing to pull up some
external help.
4.
Poor lead generation strategy: MSPs
often rely on Google Ads, cold calling, direct mail to generate good quality
leads. There’s already enough noise in the MSP industry. A good web presence is
important and then a quality outreach as well. As a lead generation partner for
many MSPs, we can say that these are not the right
techniques to generate B2B leads.
5.
Lack of brand awareness: Finally,
MSPs that have low brand awareness are struggling to generate sales qualified
leads. Many potential clients may not be aware of their services and the
value they offer, leading to fewer opportunities to convert leads into clients.
How can MSPs
overcome these challenges and generate more qualified leads?
To start, Managed service providers(MSPs) should focus on developing a quality &
targeted approach to lead generation & appointment setting. This means
identifying their ideal client profile and developing messaging and outreach
tactics that resonate with that audience.
