On this week’s episode of ScaleUp Radio I’m speaking to Matthew Parsons from Surftech IT, who provide managed IT services to businesses.

 

Matthew was actually a guest on ScaleUp Radio back in 2019, and it’s fascinating to see just how his company, but also Matthew himself as a leader and business owner have changed and developed in the intervening years.

 

Plenty of ground covered, including:

 

 - The benefit of always investing back into the team, so always planning and working towards taking on the next member of staff

 - How to deal with the challenge of always looking at how to evolve in an industry that is ever-changing

 - The knowledge that you are always selling, and coming to that realisation whilst also learning how to be a good  salesperson

 - Why you should definitely package up your services - but don’t over package. Keep the options simple - almost make your offering into a product

 

Obviously, there is plenty in this conversation for business owners and leader of any size, any industry and any stage on your scale up journey.
