Hello Out there MSP people! Help out another Computer guy.
Hey everyone,
I realize that this is a computer repair forum, but if there are any MSP's out there, your input would be fabulous.
I’m in the early stages of building a small boutique MSP/computer repair business in Wisconsin and trying to grow it thoughtfully instead of scaling too fast.
My goal honestly isn’t to become a giant 4,000-endpoint MSP. I’d be very happy building a strong local business with good relationships, maybe eventually 150–500 endpoints max over time.
For those of you who started small:
How did you realistically get your first 25–50 endpoints or first business clients?
Did you focus on:
- local networking?
- referrals?
- walk-ins?
- partnerships?
- managed security?
- churches/small businesses?
- word of mouth?
I’m especially interested in hearing what actually worked in the real world for smaller relationship-focused MSPs.
Thanks everyone — I’m learning a ton already.
