And with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.n-able.com\/resources\/state-of-the-market-the-new-threat-landscape\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s2\">rise in cybersecurity attacks<\/span><\/a> and the changing security landscape, partnering with an MSP and enrolling in their monthly managed services program is increasingly a necessity. So this question had me asking a question right back to the group: \u201cHow many MSPs here are <i>still<\/i> supporting customers in a purely break\/fix fashion?\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">I admit I was astounded when over half of the 30 or so people in attendance stated that they still have clients they support in a purely break\/fix manner.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">I didn\u2019t think it would be that high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><em><span class=\"s1\"><b>I\u2019m going to state something that might be considered controversial: Continuing to support businesses in a break\/fix manner\u2014given everything going on in the world today around cybersecurity\u2014is something that is NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE.\u00a0<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">To be considered a true Managed Services Provider (MSP), you need every customer you work with to be committed to a managed services contract. It could be very chaotic to your organization if you\u2019re trying to support both models: those that are enrolled in a monthly services contract with you, and those that you allow to call whenever they want, whenever they have a computer issue.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">So if you are still struggling to get your break\/fix clients moved over to the managed services model, what can you say to convince them?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Here are four ways to convince break\/fix clients to move to managed services\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">1. Talk about the better outcomes you\u2019ll be able to provide that you are not able to deliver effectively now<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">When it comes to selling managed IT services to your existing break\/fix clients, it is important to recognize that you are NOT selling<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Better technology<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Better solutions<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Your technology best practices<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Network monitoring, patching, MFA, email security, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">And you want to stress that your team is much more than just an on-call Helpdesk.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">So what <i>are<\/i> you selling? You are selling outcomes. You want to promote the advantages from a business perspective, emphasizing how their organization will benefit by making the switch from a break\/fix arrangement to a monthly managed services engagement. You want to talk about what matters most to that business owner and what they truly care about\u2014things that will help make their business more profitable, more competitive, more productive, more secure, and more efficient than it currently is today, under a break\/fix arrangement.\u00a0<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">You can help a business owner improve the productivity of their staff because they will no longer have to witness workers sitting around waiting for someone to show up to fix their systems whenever they go offline. Because when employees aren\u2019t working, they are costing the business money\u2014and the business can\u2019t get back on track making money until the employees are working again.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">So the benefits of your monthly managed services agreement are to minimize unexpected downtime and the associated costs that result from unexpected downtime. Today, their engagement is based on a lot of firefighting\u2014which is disruptive and chaotic for organizations\u2014and your goal with your services is to do away with the firefighting and create a more stable, reliable, and optimized network environment for the employees.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">2. Talk about your ability to provide higher levels of predictability<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s5\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/davewilkeson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David Wilkinson<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\">, CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mspadvisor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s2\">MSP Advisor<\/span><\/a>, says that one of the biggest mistakes emerging MSPs make with their break\/fix clients\u2014one that makes it more difficult to sell them on a managed services arrangement\u2014is that they tend to overservice them. MSPs end up providing guaranteed predictability and priority response without the clients having to make any sort of financial commitment in return. He makes a joke during his bootcamp that in most sessions he delivers, there will be at least one MSP who will get that call or receive an email from one of their break\/fix clients saying that something in their network has broken and their employees can\u2019t work.\u00a0<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">This most often causes them to immediately leave the webinar, drop what they are doing, and turn their entire attention to that troubled client to figure out what their issue is and how to get their issue resolved ASAP. But what has this customer done to receive that kind of priority response and predictability? They\u2019re not under a retainer. And they aren\u2019t paying a monthly fee for that kind of priority response and care. Yet the MSP is providing such a high degree of exceptional service\u2014dropping everything (like participating in training that will help the MSP business owner improve their MSP business) to assist this break\/fix client.\u00a0<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">You should save this kind of predictability and priority response for your managed services clients who are paying for this level of service. If you truly want to get those break\/fix clients over to a monthly managed services arrangement, then you could retrain them and reset their expectations. You might let them know that moving forward, everything you do for them will be on a \u201dbest efforts\u201d basis. You\u2019ll get around to assisting them when you can, but when they call you will no longer be dropping everything to rush over to fix their issue. Those benefits are reserved for your paying managed services clients who have signed a contract with you. They get your immediate attention first.\u00a0<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">3. Talk about the consequences and costs of unexpected downtime, especially if their downtime is the result of a security attack<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">If you are still supporting break\/fix clients, a security attack will be likely to occur. With your break\/fix customers, it is highly probable that their organization is lacking the critical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.n-able.com\/solutions\/security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s2\">security products<\/span><\/a> and services needed today to properly protect their employees and their network, and if their network does happen to go offline unexpectedly, it will likely be the result of some sort of cyberattack. Not only will your customers experience loss of revenue, loss of productivity, and your own remediation bill to try to fix the situation, but also a myriad of other costs that they could be subject to if they fall prey to a ransomware attack, including:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s1\">Cost of the ransomware payment (if you are not able to successfully retrieve their data)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s1\">Regulatory fines and penalties<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s1\">Customer notification and communication costs<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s1\">HR costs and legal costs associated with dealing with aggrieved customers<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s1\">Higher insurance premiums<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s1\">Consultancy and employee training costs<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s1\">Possible attack reoccurrence\u2014if they got your client once, good chance they will try again<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s1\">Loss of sales and loss of customers due to decreased client confidence<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p9\"><span class=\"s1\">Reputation and brand harm, resulting in possible closure of the business<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">4. <b>Worst-case scenario if the other three options fail: Tell them that you will have to let them go as a client<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">In saying this, though, tell them you would be more than happy to help them migrate to another MSP who can continue to support them in the break\/fix model they prefer. But explain that you are no longer that type of provider due to the security risks that the break\/fix model inherently has.\u00a0<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">So if you are a managed services provider, still supporting clients in a break\/fix manner, I encourage you to cease and desist. It is too risky and can seriously jeopardize not only your livelihood, but also the livelihood of your employees if something happens to go wrong from a cybersecurity standpoint at your customer\u2019s site. You need to be all-in with your clients, and they need to be all-in with you, for the safety, security, operational efficiency, and productivity benefits of <i>both<\/i> organizations.\u00a0<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p10\"><span class=\"s6\"><i>Stefanie Hammond is Head Sales and Marketing Nerd at\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.n-able.com\/?promo=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s7\"><i>N&#8209;able<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>.
