[89] How Outsourcing Your MSP Service Desk Leads to Business Growth

In this episode, I talk to Jason Kemsley, co-founder and Technical Director at Uptime Solutions. Uptime offer outsourced NOC, SOC and helpdesk to MSPs, saving them time and allowing them to concentrate on serving their clients better and growing their business.

This was a live TubbTalk episode, and Jason answered questions from the audience. We talked about when it’s the right time to outsource, barriers to doing so, and when not to outsource.

We also discuss how the pod model allows Uptime to provide personalised support to clients, overcoming objections to outsourcing, and how to take the first steps to getting support.

About the Podcast

TubbTalk: The Podcast for Managed Service Providers
Putting Managed Service Providers back in control!
Richard Tubb has been a leader and keynote speaker in the MSP community for the last two decades. At the helm of media company and MSP advisory business Tubblog, Richard loves to showcase tech companies disrupting the industry, as well as shining a light on new tools you might not be aware of.

His long-running and successful interview-style show, TubbTalk, features fireside style chats with the CEOs and CTOs of these businesses, to dig deep into how they got started in the industry, what inspired them to start something new and what their advice would be to anyone who wants to do the same.

But it's not all tech focused! As a former MSP owner himself, Richard knows that there are many facets to being a business owner, which is why his guests reflect that too.

Previous topics include mental health, sales, marketing, business growth, productivity, customer service and more. Wondering why you should listen? Well, as one fan put it: "It's like eavesdropping on a conversation between two friends, who are sharing their knowledge and wisdom with each other. You learn while you're being entertained."
