Are You Ready To Use Marketing To Drive Qualified Leads?

Does this sound like you?

  • You represent an established MSP with 10+ employees.
  • Referrals are great, but you aren't growing as fast as you'd like.  Every time a customer churns... It hurts.
  • You feel good about being able to close prospects when you can get a meeting with them, trouble is there are no meetings.
  • You want to make things easier by feeding your salesperson some leads to work and get the "marketing problem solved"
  • You've tried doing some marketing internally or with other agencies, but wasted thousands and gotten no results.
  • You don't have time to micro manage an agency and just want someone you can trust to go an execute.

MSP Marketing Challenges

Information technology is a field that's rife with complex concepts.  It's difficult to strike a balance between enough detail to demonstrate you know your customers needs, and not enough to make their eyes glaze over and close the browser out of industry jargon fatigue.

Finding an MSP digital marketing agency isn't much easier.  The people writing content and creating designs need to know your business well enough to deliver an effective pitch, and most local agencies are used to dealing with realtors and home builders and retail stores - so they don't fit the bill.

You need an agency that understands the MSP business and the technology sector. Tortoise and Hare Software can help.

How We Can Help

Establish Your Brand

One of the most ailing problems managed service providers face is a lack of brand awareness.  We help create the visual identity that helps prospective customers remember your company, and get it front of people.

Create Effective Marketing Campaigns

We'll help you refine your targeting and messaging in order to create effective marketing campaigns to reach decision makers in desirable customer segments.

Generate Long Term Growth

Marketing is a core business process and not a one off after thought when the leads get low.  We help MSPs establish digital marketing programs for durable growth.

Do You Have Any Of These Common Sales Objections We Hear?

 

We've Worked With Other Agencies And Never Gotten Any Results

Perfect!  Then you've already got a good idea of what doesn't work.  In fact we prefer it that way because it means you're probably more realistic about what building a marketing program costs, the amount of effort it takes, and realistic timelines for a return. We never want to be the first agency you work with, but we do want to be the last.

Why Should We Invest? You Can't Guarantee Results

We can guarantee that if you don't do anything then your current results are going to stay the same.  If you're happy with where that's gotten you to date, then by all means, continue doing what you're doing. If you want to change your results, you've got to change what you're doing. We can guarantee that no one is going to care more about your results or work harder to maximize your chances of success.

It's Too Expensive

It takes money to make money, period. If you've landed on this page chances are you've got the funds, and it's more about fear. Entrepreneurship is about risking capital for the chance at a return on your investment.  If too you're afraid to take risks, chances are you've got a lifestyle business on your hands and you're not a fit to work with us.  For those with the stomach for growth, the desire to build a real business, and a war chest to make it happen, we have a demonstrated history of generating positive ROI for our clients.

I've Had A Recent Surge In Business And This Isn't A Priority Now

But it was a problem before right?  When things are comfortable, this is the best time to invest in marketing.  If you wait until you've experienced another downturn in business, you're much more likely to make irrational short-term decisions that are focused on saving money instead of focusing on building sustainable growth.

I Don't Have The Time For Marketing Right Now

We get it, working with other agencies is a never-ending quest to get them to do what they said they were going to do.  At that point, why did you even hire them?  Tortoise and Hare is different.  We have a formula for success and a specific customer profile that it matches.  Because of this the amount of input we need from you is minimal. We've got processes in place to streamline onboarding and a couple hours a month to discuss performance, and make minor tactical adjustments where needed is all it takes to get started.  We know you're outsourcing marketing to save time and get instant access to expertise, and we act accordingly.

I Want To Hire A Salesperson First

Ok great, where are they going to get their leads? Sales people are rarely good at both closing AND prospecting.  We see so many MSPs in the market with a catch all salesperson on staff trying to handle prospecting, closing, and account management activities, and not being good at any of them.  When you're selling managed IT services you aren't creating a market. You don't need tele prospectors to go educate potential buyers and quite frankly you don't have the margins. There is existing demand and people searching for providers.  Marketing comes before sales in the MSP space.

I've Never Heard Of Your Company

Although we've been in business since 2018, we've recently narrowed focus to the MSP sector.  Why?  Because we've been crushing it for the MSPs that's we've worked with and see this sector as an industry that's ripe for disruption. If you google around for MSP marketing tips related to paid search campaigns or SEO you'll undoubtedly stumble across some of our blog articles.

You need copywriters and marketing strategists that understand your buyers and how to write compelling content to reach them.
