Uncle Marv welcomes Jennifer Bleam, founder of MSP Sales Revolution, to discuss sales and marketing strategies for MSPs. Jennifer shares her journey from focusing solely on sales coaching to incorporating marketing due to client needs. She emphasizes the importance of knowing key metrics like average customer lifetime value and monthly recurring revenue.

Jennifer outlines her four-arm approach to marketing: branding, list-building, nurturing, and making offers. She stresses the significance of nurturing leads, a step often overlooked in traditional marketing funnels. Jennifer contrasts vendor and MSP marketing approaches, highlighting the need for MSPs to adapt strategies to their smaller scale.

The conversation touches on the balance between persistence and respect in sales follow-ups. Jennifer advocates for a "declining cadence" approach to follow-ups, always aiming to provide value. She warns against the extremes of over-pestering prospects or never following up at all.

Jennifer reveals her willingness to work with smaller MSPs (as low as 250K annual revenue), unlike many industry coaches who focus on larger companies. She explains how she adapted her services to meet the needs of these smaller businesses while still providing valuable guidance.

The episode concludes with Jennifer describing her coaching approach, which focuses on creating custom marketing and sales systems for MSPs, emphasizing genuine, human-centric strategies.
