Transitioning From Break-Fix To Managed Services: Shifting The Mindset

Gone are the days of simply fixing your clients’ tech and waiting for the next frantic phone call. With the state of technology today, your clients can’t afford even a hint of downtime. For many businesses, this means that the break-fix model is no longer a viable solution for providing the necessary level of consistency and reliability customers need. Managed service providers (MSPs), on the other hand, are all about that consistency.

Before you take the plunge and get into the nitty-gritty of transitioning into your own MSP business though, you need to start with a shift in your mindset. Running an MSP has a lot of differences in comparison to break-fix, like how you tackle your pricing, operations, or sales and marketing, but by far one of the most key elements surrounds the change in your overall role.
