CEO Growth & Profit: QBRs as your Scale Engine

Written by Ashley Nicely | April 3, 2023
A quarterly business review (QBR) is a recurring meeting between a company and its clients where they discuss service delivery, satisfaction, and future expectations. For MSPs, quarterly business reviews provide a opportunity to truly become their clients' strategic technology advisors. They enable MSPs to deliver the highest value by becoming an active player in the IT budget planning. When these quarterly meetings are done right, they'll also enhance your relationship with the right people within your clients' organizations, naturally improving retention. That's why top performing MSPs have mastered the art of conducting value-driven QBRs.
 
 
In last month's CEO Growth & Profit webinar, Foundational Excellence: QBRs as your Scale Engine, Peter Kujawa, VP of Service Leadership and TSP Evangelist, reviewed the components of a successful quarterly business review. Peter also reviewed how to effectively plan and pay for QBRs in a way that will simultaneously strengthen your relationships and improve profitability. By tuning in, you'll receive pointed advise on how to make a QBR productive and profitable, and how to squash any objections to conducting QBRs from your internal teams.
