If you peruse through the comments you'll see a lot of mixed reviews. If you spend any time googling around to find MSP marketing competitors you'll definitely stumble across Robin Robins or the technology marketing toolkit. It would be hard not to because her set of digital properties is like a fire hose of content that's been soaking the internet for decades. In fact a lot of people like to joke about how some of the content on her website features pictures of marketing materials on CDs.
It seems pretty clear from reading the comments of other MSP owners that have bought into the "cult" is that the most valuable thing that is provided is her producers club which is a very expensive MSP owners club that tend to exchange referrals and business. There aren't many business owners that wouldn't benefit from gaining access to face time with high volume competitors in their industry in order to exchange tips and referrals though. But is that marketing? If networking with peers is what you need, join the TechTribe instead.
From a marketing standpoint though the approach is similar to many other MSP marketing competitors. Provide white label content that MSP owners can use to post/mail/publish. If there's more than one competitor using the system in your town, then you'll fail to stand out and the effectiveness of the content will decline. Plus you aren't really outsourcing marketing at that point to develop your own brand. Your just paying the same price it would cost to hire a content writer so that you can sound the same as a bunch of other MSPs in the nation. You aren't building your own brand, you aren't becoming a thought leader, and your positioning your company as a commodity. Prepare to get beat up on rates.
