How we report

We Report Booked Calls, Not Impressions

Ask most agencies for results and you get reach, clicks, and cost per click. None of those tell an MSP owner whether next quarter is covered.

Here is what we track on every account and what you see in every review.

Campaign source for every qualified opportunity
Qualification answers captured before the appointment
Discovery calls booked, by week and by campaign

Show rate and no show reasons where available
Pipeline stage reached after the call, pulled from your CRM
Cost per booked discovery call and cost per signed agreement where the data exists

If a number cannot be traced back to a source and an outcome, we do not report it and we do not publish it.

Birmingham · Managed IT

16 qualified discovery calls a month by month four

A referral led MSP replaced two quiet quarters with a steady calendar of in area professional firms.

The challenge

Almost all new business came through two long standing accountancy referrals. When one partner retired, the pipeline went quiet for two quarters, and the owner was the only person generating conversations.

Their website ranked for their own name and little else. The one Google Ads account they had tried was set up by a generalist agency bidding on broad terms like IT support, and it produced plenty of clicks from home users and one person businesses, and almost nothing from the professional firms they actually served.

Where they started

Two or three inbound enquiries a month, most of them poor fit
No predictable source of new business outside referrals
The owner took every first call himself
No tracking between an ad click and a signed agreement

How we approached it

Month 1A market and competitor review across the West Midlands, an ideal client defined as professional firms with 20 to 150 seats, and search terms rebuilt around buying intent.
Months 2 to 3Campaigns went live alongside a new conversion page, with qualification filtering out firms under 20 seats. The first qualified calls arrived in week five.
Months 4 to 6Budget moved toward the three best converting search themes, retargeting was added for visitors who left without booking, and cost per booked call came down month on month.

What we built

Google Search campaigns across three buying intent themes
A conversion page written for accountancy, legal and architecture firms
A qualification form checking seats, location and service need
Calendar booking wired into their existing CRM
Retargeting for visitors who left without booking
Monthly reporting from first click to signed agreement

Outcome

16 qualified discovery calls in month four
82 percent show rate across the engagement
5 new managed agreements signed in six months
Cost per booked call down 38 percent from month one to month six

What made the difference

Filtering on seat count before the calendar. In the first month roughly a third of enquiries were firms under 20 seats that would never have signed. Stopping those before they became calls is what freed the owner to spend his time on the conversations that mattered.

In their words

“For the first time we are choosing which firms to take on, rather than hoping the phone rings.”Managing Director, Birmingham MSP

Leeds · Cybersecurity

Pipeline moved from price shoppers to compliance driven buyers

A security specialist stopped competing on per seat price by reaching businesses already facing an audit or renewal.

Engagement length

Channels

LinkedIn and Google Search

Minimum contract value

£2,000 a month

The challenge

Inbound enquiries were dominated by small businesses comparing per seat prices. The deals that did close were low margin, and the team spent hours scoping work that never converted.

The business was genuinely strong on security, but its marketing described services rather than risk. Prospects saw a list of tools and compared the monthly price, because nothing on the page gave them a reason to value anything else.

Where they started

Enquiries driven by price comparison rather than need
A small average deal size
Long scoping calls on deals that never converted
No route to decision makers inside mid sized firms

How we approached it

Month 1The offer was repositioned around cyber insurance renewals, audit readiness and supplier security questionnaires, the moments when a business has to act.
Months 2 to 3LinkedIn campaigns reached operations and finance leaders at firms of 50 to 250 staff, with a qualification step asking what was driving the enquiry.
Months 4 to 5Search was added for compliance terms, and follow up was rewritten around the specific trigger each prospect had named.

What we built

LinkedIn targeting by job function and company size
Messaging built around insurance, audit and supplier triggers
A qualification question that captured the compliance deadline
A conversion page structured around risk rather than tools
Follow up sequenced to each prospect's deadline
Reporting on contract value by campaign source

Outcome

13 qualified calls a month on average
Average contract value up 2.4 times
Sales time per closed deal down by roughly half

What made the difference

Asking about the trigger before the call. Once prospects told us their insurance renewal or audit date up front, the team could prepare a relevant conversation, and deals moved on the prospect's deadline instead of stalling.

In their words

“We stopped explaining why we cost more. The businesses reaching us already understood the risk.”Founder, Leeds MSP

Manchester · Co-managed IT

19 booked calls a month with the internal IT lead in the room

An MSP built a co-managed practice by reaching businesses whose internal IT person was stretched too thin.

Channels

Minimum contract value

£1,800 a month

The challenge

Their co-managed offer kept stalling because the prospect's internal IT staff saw it as a threat. Calls were booked with owners who then deferred to an IT lead who had never been part of the conversation.

Their messaging talked about taking IT off the business's hands. That is exactly what an internal IT manager does not want to hear, so the person with the most influence over the decision was quietly working against it.

Where they started

Co-managed deals stalling after the first call
Internal IT leads excluded from early conversations
An offer positioned as replacement rather than support
Long sales cycles with no clear next step

How we approached it

Month 1We interviewed the sales team on why co-managed deals stalled, then rebuilt the positioning around supporting internal IT with out of hours cover, projects and security gaps.
Months 2 to 4Targeting reached IT managers and heads of IT directly on LinkedIn alongside owners, so both were in the conversation from the start.
Months 5 to 7Follow up was written for the objections an IT lead raises, from job security to tooling, and booking was set up to invite both roles to the first call.

What we built

Dual audience targeting for owners and internal IT leads
Positioning as support for internal IT, not replacement
Content answering the internal IT lead's concerns
Booking that invited both decision makers to the first call
Follow up tailored to each role
Reporting on which role booked each call

Outcome

19 qualified calls in the strongest month
4 co-managed agreements signed
Show rate held above 80 percent throughout

What made the difference

Treating the internal IT lead as a buyer rather than an obstacle. When they were on the first call, co-managed deals that had stalled for months started closing, because the person who would work alongside the MSP had already agreed to it.

In their words

“Getting the internal IT lead on the first call changed everything about how those deals moved.”Head of Sales, Manchester MSP

Bristol · Cloud and compliance

From founder networking to a repeatable channel in one quarter

A founder led MSP moved new business off the owner's personal network and onto a system the team could run.

100%of agreements traced to source

Client

Bristol and the South West

Engagement length

Channels

Google Search and LinkedIn

Minimum contract value

£1,600 a month

The challenge

Every new client came from the founder's own network and events. Growth stopped whenever he was busy delivering, and there was no way to forecast the next quarter.

The founder was also the company's best engineer. Every month he spent networking was a month the delivery side ran without him, and every month he spent delivering was a month the pipeline went quiet.

Where they started

All new business coming from the founder's network
No forecast beyond the next few weeks
A CRM used for contacts, not pipeline
The founder took every sales call

How we approached it

Month 1Qualification and booking were wired into their CRM so every enquiry arrived with its source attached, and the cloud migration and compliance buyers to target were defined.
Months 2 to 3Search and LinkedIn campaigns went live. By month three calls were arriving at a steady rate without the founder generating them.
Months 4 to 6Discovery calls were handed to a newly trained account manager, with the founder stepping in only for the larger opportunities.

What we built

A combined Google Search and LinkedIn programme
A qualification flow built inside their CRM
Source tracking from first click to signed agreement
Booking routed to the account manager
A monthly pipeline report the founder used to forecast
Handover notes so first calls needed no founder briefing

Outcome

14 qualified calls a month by month three
The founder took under a quarter of first calls by month six
Every signed agreement traceable to its campaign source

What made the difference

Putting the source on every record. Once each booked call carried its campaign, the founder could see which activity produced agreements and hand the process to his team with confidence, because the numbers no longer lived in his head.

In their words

“I can see next quarter now. That was never true when it all ran through me.”Founder, Bristol MSP

Before and after

From Quiet Months to a Pipeline You Can Forecast

New business arrives by: Waiting on the next referral
Forecasting the quarter: Still feels like guesswork
The calendar: Full of the wrong meetings
Follow up: Stops after the second attempt because someone got busy
Reporting: Clicks and impressions that never mention a signed agreement

New business arrives by: More qualified conversations, matched to your geography and seat count
Forecasting the quarter: A pipeline your sales team can actually work
The calendar: Fewer tire kickers, poor fit prospects discouraged before they reach it
Follow up: Faster response, starting the moment a prospect raises their hand
Reporting: Clearer visibility on where each opportunity came from and whether it booked

Build a Pipeline You Can Forecast

In their words

What a Predictable Contract Pipeline Feels Like

The calendar fills with businesses that actually match who we want to serve. I can plan a quarter around it now.

Daniel Reyes

Nobody reaches my calendar unless the seat count and the service fit are already right.

Priya Nandra

Operations Lead · Northgate Technology · Leeds

I got my Fridays back. I am not the one chasing introductions every week any more.

Marcus Hale

Sofia Almeida
