How MSPClients Helps You Find MSP Prospects

Finding a company that matches your target market is one part of prospecting. Working out why it might need your services now is another.

MSPClients brings those two questions together. It finds companies showing signs of IT needs and ranks opportunities against your MSP profile. Here is how to use that information to prepare a more relevant conversation.

Start with the companies you can serve well

Before reviewing prospects, define your service area, target industries, preferred company sizes, and the services you offer. A company can have a clear IT need and still be a poor fit for your business.

For example, an MSP focused on local office support will evaluate an opportunity differently from a provider offering remote security services. Your profile gives MSPClients the context it needs to rank opportunities for your business.

You can see the overall process in our guide to how MSPClients works.

Look at the evidence behind each opportunity

A signal is a reason to investigate a company. It is not proof that the company has a budget or wants to change providers.

MSPClients shows the evidence behind an opportunity so you can assess the context before reaching out. When you review a prospect, ask:

• What changed at the company?
• How recent is the evidence?
• Could that change create a need for one of our services?
• What would we need to learn in a first conversation?

Keep the distinction between an observed fact and your interpretation clear. If a company is expanding, for instance, you can ask about its IT plans without assuming its current support is inadequate.

Connect the possible need to a specific offer

The opportunity view includes a recommended offer and outreach guidance. Use them as a starting point for your own judgment.

Choose an offer your team can deliver and explain in a sentence. A focused conversation about supporting a new location is easier to connect to an expansion signal than a broad list of every service your MSP provides.

Review the MSPClients product overview for the information included in each opportunity.

Review the buyer and personalize your message

Buyer contacts help you identify whom to approach. Before sending a message, check that the person’s role makes sense for the topic you want to discuss.

Build your message around three things:

1. The company detail that prompted you to reach out.
2. The relevant problem your team can help with.
3. A simple question that makes it easy to respond.

Treat suggested copy as a draft. Check names, facts, and the offer, then adjust it to sound like you. Avoid presenting a possible IT need as something the prospect has already confirmed.

Make the next step a useful conversation

A ranked list helps you decide where to focus your attention. The next conversation is where you learn about the company’s priorities, timing, and current arrangements.

Use the evidence to prepare better questions, and keep track of what you learn so the next follow-up has a clear purpose.
