I’m a massive fan of events and it is with great pleasure that Pete and I had a conversation on how it’s done, what are the necessary things to consider, and also where do I start

Definitely, no one could ever lead us through this conversation but Peter Davies. He is the head of managed services sales from Angel Business Communications. A long-time traditional publisher who has been in IT services for 25 years and holding IT events for 23 years. Pete is best known for running and supporting big events, like the Managed Services Summit, which makes this episode even more exciting.

Pete and I started by really getting into knowing what event strategies should an MSP Marketing team consider. Knowing why it is important to always ensure correct planning to ensure its success and why we need to use events in the first place

We also shared our views on the importance of building great relationships with peers, vendors, and suppliers in every matter.

Pete agreed with me, that sometimes hosting events can be daunting. Pete then emphasised the important things to establish first, before selling a product.  

The C-word to make in order to find better opportunities and have better outcomes. 

As we talked about things to do, we also shared an important list of NOT to do’s, especially if you are still starting to find meaningful engagements or establish something in an event.

Pete then wrapped up by sharing the key things to look for to make sure the events are really valuable for everybody, whether for the vendor or seller – making sure inclusivity.

At the heart of this episode, I believe the best way to wrap up is by a shameless plug.

Check out what events they are working on, either online or physical meetings.  

Pete and I are excited and looking forward to these events and you can book on to the Managed Services Summit in September, here: - - https://managedservicessummit.com/
