Selling is what I do best. I’ve been doing it for several decades and still get excited whenever I make a sale — no matter the size of the deal. While selling is in my blood, I realized many years ago that selling didn’t come easy for everyone, especially MSPs.
I decided to do my part by helping MSPs turn into salespeople. I’ve done this by making sales a core component of the TruMethods framework and speaking at industry conferences, and on various webinars and podcasts about how MSPs can improve their sales skills. And you can’t forget the TruMethods blog, where I’ve contributed my insight on the selling process for hundreds of blog posts.
Here are six blog posts on selling you may have missed in 2021.
How to Structure Your MSP Sales Meetings
Operating your business at the seat of your pants is a recipe for disaster, as many of us can attest firsthand, but the same goes for running sales meetings with your salespeople.

MSP Sales: Shifting Focus to the Prospect
An important concept for MSP salespeople and business owners to grasp and understand is that the majority of the sales process should be focused on the prospect.
Organizing Yourself for MSP Sales Success
When it comes to MSP sales, I love the things that I have control over. Preparation, organization and discipline are some of those things that we can not only control, but also will lead to success in the sales process. If we don’t control the things we can, we are being a mediocre version of ourselves. Success and results will come from properly organizing yourself.
The Sales Funnel’s Role in Managing Your Prospect Database
Building and maintaining a well-organized prospect database takes hard work and dedication, but over time, your salespeople will reap the benefits. But in order for them to do that, they’ll need to know where their leads are in the sales process at all times.
