This came from a discussion with a consulting organization about "advice for immature MSPs". And I just could not resist. When all the messaging is "the opportunity is so big", we don't often address how HARD the technology business is, and that the business model of the software vendors is different from the provider one. And thus when I boiled it down, "Don't Start an MSP" became my advice. Looking forward to the discussion.  💼 All Our SponsorsSupport the vendors who support the show:👉 https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ 🚀 Join Business of Tech PlusGet exclusive access to investigative reports, vendor analysis, leadership briefings, and more.👉 https://businessof.tech/plus 🎧 Subscribe to the Business of TechWant the show on your favorite podcast app or prefer the written versions of each story?📲 https://www.businessof.tech/subscribe 📰 Story Links & SourcesLooking for the links from today’s stories?Every episode script — with full source links — is posted at:🌐 https://www.businessof.tech 🎙 Want to Be a Guest?Pitch your story or appear on Business of Tech: Daily 10-Minute IT Services Insights:💬 https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/businessoftech 🔗 Follow Business of Tech LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/28908079YouTube: https://youtube.com/mspradioBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/businessof.techInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mspradioTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@businessoftechFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mspradionews Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

I recently spotted what I considered an odd hashtag on LinkedIn -- #savethechannel The channel is an interestingly overloaded phrase. It’s used to refer to the indirect sales path for technology, which takes technology and the resulting services delivered not from the vendor themselves through sellers to those end customers. There’s a lot of pieces in that “channel” – the vendors, the distributors, and the services companies, and even within three. There’s the channel chief – a vendor employee – and the channel team, which are sales or marketing staff who deal with partners… who are also the channel. Let's dive into the different channels, why the confusion matters, and why ecosystems are the future.  💼 All Our SponsorsSupport the vendors who support the show:👉 https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ 🚀 Join Business of Tech PlusGet exclusive access to investigative reports, vendor analysis, leadership briefings, and more.👉 https://businessof.tech/plus 🎧 Subscribe to the Business of TechWant the show on your favorite podcast app or prefer the written versions of each story?📲 https://www.businessof.tech/subscribe 📰 Story Links & SourcesLooking for the links from today’s stories?Every episode script — with full source links — is posted at:🌐 https://www.businessof.tech 🎙 Want to Be a Guest?Pitch your story or appear on Business of Tech: Daily 10-Minute IT Services Insights:💬 https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/businessoftech 🔗 Follow Business of Tech LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/28908079YouTube: https://youtube.com/mspradioBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/businessof.techInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mspradioTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@businessoftechFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mspradionews Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, Datto filed for their IPO. They intend to go public, raise a bunch of money, and have made a bunch of statements about the market, about their position in it, and the like. Every company always says going public will be great for their customers, and a provider can’t blame them for this move. It’s not that they have ever hidden this intended outcome. This isn’t the part that bothers me. You know what really bothers me? The stock ticker choice. It’s a brilliant hijacking of their partners value. And that’s why it’s not a small deal. Find out what that value is and why you should care in this video. Subscribe to the Business of Tech: https://www.businessof.tech Bonus episode released on YouTube as well on Monday, Oct 5.
