MSPU Member ARRC Technology Completes Extreme Office Makeover
Event
|
|
 ARRC
Technology, a long-standing MSP University member and consulting client
and one of Inc 5,000's Fastest-Growing Businesses, announced the winners
from their Extreme Office Makeover on June 24th at the Bakersfield Chamber
of Commerce Mixer. MSP University was on hand to help celebrate the
event, and delivered a Keynote presentation to start the evening.
Frank, Brian and Alex Rogers
from AARC Technology,
Jason Pernell from Cisco and
Erick Simpson from MSPU
Monique Rogers, Corporate Marketing Director for ARRC
Technology, developed and coordinated the event based upon information and
training ARRC received during several consulting sessions delivered by MSP
University earlier this year. MSP University was asked by ARRC to
participate in the proceedings, and delivered a Keynote presentation to
Bakersfield area small business owners on getting the most out of their
technology to kick off the event, which included over 40 local area
businesses as vendors.
ARRC Technology marketed the Extreme Office Makeover to area businesses
beginning in December of 2007, and garnered over 100 applications,
enabling their Technology Consultants to schedule appointments and conduct
Needs Analyses with prospects. This effort alone uncovered immediate
project and service opportunities, as well as built a pipeline of warm
sales prospects which may not have surfaced through traditional marketing
efforts alone...

results...

MSP University Webinar Course Highlight

 Creating
a Successful Managed Services Business Plan
A business plan is a critical component in the development
of any business, and is a living document that is referred to and modified
continually as the business grows to address issues such as new vendor
relationships, competitive threats, adjustments to pricing, services
and marketing strategies, along with many other factors to insure
continued success.
The business plan is even more crucial when transitioning
from one business model to a completely different one. This webinar course
walks you through the basic components of a successful business plan, and
covers the following sections and how to develop them:
-
Executive Summary
-
Vision, Mission and Goals
-
Company Overview
-
Marketing Plan
-
Key Alliances and Vendors
-
Revenue Sources
-
Competition
-
Financials
The associated downloadable collateral for this webinar
course includes:
-
An excerpt from our best-selling "The
Best I.T. Sales & Marketing BOOK EVER!" on the Managed
Services Business Plan
-
A copy of the "Managed
Services, Your Business Plan and You" PowerPoint presentation
used in this course
-
The MSP University Managed Services Business Plan White Paper
-
The MSP University Managed Services Business Plan Template
After completing this webinar course, you will be able to
create a basic IT or Managed Services Business Plan with the collateral
provided.
Every business
should have a business plan, and it should be reviewed and modified
regularly -
do you have a business plan, and if so - when was the last time you
revised it?
