Why a Business Assessment is Critical for MSPs

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You ask, we answer

What does a business assessment for MSPs include?

Think of it like taking your MSP in for a full diagnostic instead of just kicking the tires and hoping for the best. We dig into your services, pricing, client mix, delivery process, sales, marketing, and the tech stack you’ve connected like string art over the years. Then we map out what’s actually driving your growth and what’s quietly sabotaging it behind the scenes.

Instead of a vague “here’s some stuff to think about” report, you get clear insights you can actually use. We highlight the bottlenecks slowing you down, the gaps costing you money, and the opportunities you’ve been too buried in tickets to see. By the end, you know exactly where you stand and what moves will make the biggest impact right now...not someday when you have more time.

How often should MSPs update their roadmap?

More often than you think. Most MSPs revisit their plans once a year, but the reality is your roadmap should shift as your business does. A quarterly check-in keeps you ahead of staffing changes, new service offerings, and whatever fresh chaos the industry throws your way.

If something major happens (big client win, major churn, pricing updates, new verticals) you update it sooner. It’s a living plan, not a set-it-and-forget-it document.

Can roadmapping improve sales and marketing alignment?

Definitely! When you build a roadmap, you’re pulling sales and marketing onto the same page with shared goals, clear definitions of a qualified lead, and priorities they can finally agree on without side-eyeing each other across the room.

Instead of marketing chasing clicks and sales chasing whoever answers the phone, everyone finally runs off the same playbook.

It gives both teams clarity on what you’re selling, who you’re selling it to, and how you’re supposed to move prospects through the pipeline. The result? Fewer mixed signals, fewer dropped leads, and a whole lot less “why didn’t anyone tell me about this?”

How is a roadmap different from a business plan?

A business plan is the big, glossy “here’s where we want to go someday” document. A roadmap is the “here’s what we’re actually doing next Monday” version. Business plans talk strategy; roadmaps tell you the order of operations, the priorities, and the steps that move the needle right now.

For MSPs, a roadmap cuts through the noise. It gives you a clear order of priorities, so you know what deserves your attention now, what needs tuning up soon, and what won’t set your hair on fire if you wait a little. It’s practical, actionable, and built to be used...not filed away in a Google Drive folder you forget about.

Do you benchmark against other MSPs?

Yep, and not in a “here’s a random spreadsheet of national averages” kind of way. We compare your pricing, service stack, margins, sales process, and marketing performance against what we see across the MSPs we work with every day. It gives you a realistic sense of where you stand in the market without getting lost in irrelevant statistics.

The goal isn’t to copy anyone else...it’s to give you context so you can make smarter decisions and spot opportunities your competitors are missing.
