Social media is surprisingly a very “complex” notion to smaller businesses and, for some odd reason, to MSPs especially. Why is this? Not quite sure. But give the CEO of an MSP control of an online business profile and, suddenly, the internet becomes this abstract, foreign place... “What do you mean by…‘tag’?” “So, if I [...]
As a CEO, one of your most valuable assets is your staff—especially when you sell a service. And the sharper your staff is, the more successful your business will be. Now, I know what you’re thinking… and it probably has a face, a name, and two legs. In other words, there are members of your [...]
You’ve been struggling for weeks to hire a new person. All the resumes you’ve seen and all the interviews you’ve sat through are mediocre at best… and that’s putting it nicely. No one has jumped out at you as a qualified candidate or good fit, and at this point, you’re tempted to force a fit. [...]
