We get it — most MSPs don't have the time or resources to "do marketing." So how are some partners cost-effectively marketing managed services? Hear from Philipp Baumann, President of BoomTech IT, in this webinar. MSPs who craft a well-executed branding and promotional strategy set themselves apart from the competition and win deals. And doing marketing doesn't require a full-time marketing person or loads of money. In this eFolder Partner Chat webinar, join Philipp and Carlo Tapia, Product Marketing Manager at eFolder, as they discuss the importance and ease of marketing. You'll learn why solely relying on referrals is not a long-term strategy for MSPs, how to cost-effectively form a marketing plan around your managed service offerings, tips and tricks about marketing that every MSP needs to know, and how eFolder sets partners up for success when it comes to marketing.
