It also addresses the demand for engaging with new clients as MSPs look to grow their business.
“Partner success is at the core of everything we do, and Continuum is committed to building resources at no extra cost to our partners that will help them to be successful,” said Dee Zepf, vice president, partner success. “Not only do we want our partners to be successful with our platform, but we want them to be successful in the industry. With the launch of our ‘Selling Managed IT Services’ course, we’re excited to expand Continuum U beyond technical best practices for working with our platform to selling and business best practices.”
The new course consists of three main units: 1) Setting the Foundation, 2) the Power of the Continuum Platform and Partnership and 3) Selling Managed IT Services. Unit 1 discusses the SMB market and how to define the value of managed IT services. Unit 2 reviews what Continuum’s IT management platform, coupled with the power of the Continuum partnership, has to offer.
