[Bonusode] The Secret to Growing a Successful MSP: Don't go it Alone

In this bonus TubbTalk episode, Richard speaks to Daniel Shone, the Co-Founder of Apex Computing, an MSP based in Manchester.

He heads up the account management and sales and marketing teams. They have recently become Azure infrastructure certificated with the help of Pax8.

Daniel tells Richard why he attends conferences like Dattocon, how the right vendors grow your MSP and what makes a good vendor relationship, as well as who they’re currently working with.

Daniel also shares his thoughts on why you shouldn’t avoid your competitors, why he and his co-founder work with mentors, and what’s coming next for Apex in terms of partnerships and growth.

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."
