Gaps & Opportunities for MSP Brands

1. Show more innovation: Another word for self direction is innovation. A strong brand should not be afraid of communicating its strengths. Innovation is the ability to add accelerated value to a customer. MSPs can get their customers to a higher level of productivity much faster than they could on their own. Currently, most MSPs are forgetting to talk about one of their biggest strengths, and potential clients are looking for this strength. 

2. Make your core products/services client facing: Surprisingly, your number one product/service, is not the number one value of your potential clients. However, it is the number one thing they need in order to keep operating successfully. Shift the way you communicate security so that speaks to the prominent values of your potential clients. 

3. Make your client’s the hero’s: You and your potential clients both highly value achievement and power. So remember, you are not the hero in your customer’s story, they are. Focus on how you can bring them more achievements and success, and focus less on your achievements. 

4. Focus on your unique selling point: Tradition is the opposite of innovation which is one of your key selling points. It is usually the typical list of any product or services. It’s the feature and it’s not the core benefit. Customers want benefits, so you will need to reach higher than features.
