Lead generation is the lifeblood of every successful MSP—and it’s what separates top-performing providers from the rest. Let’s face it: the managed services space is packed. Everyone’s promising proactive support, layered security, and rock-solid SLAs. So how do the top-performing MSPs cut through the noise and consistently book qualified meetings?
We’ll let you in on a secret: it’s not just about who has the best tech stack—it’s about how you generate, engage, and convert your leads.
At Channel Hunters, we’ve booked thousands of sales-ready appointments for MSPs across North America and the UK. Along the way, we’ve spotted a few patterns that separate the fast-growers from the flat-liners.
Here are 5 lessons from the MSPs who are doing it right:
1. They Know Their Ideal Client Profile Cold
Top MSPs don’t cast a wide net—they go deep. They can tell you their dream client’s:
- Industry (e.g., law firms, finance, construction)
- Employee count (typically 10–250)
- Pain points (like compliance, downtime, or remote support issues)
- And even which tools they’re probably using (hello, outdated firewalls 👋)
Why it works: Specific targeting leads to personalized outreach. And that leads to replies, demos, and deals.
Channel Hunters Tip: When we take on a new client, we don’t just guess your audience—we build your ICP with real data, competitive intel, and behavioral patterns.
2. They Don’t Rely on Inbound Alone
SEO, PPC, and referrals are great—but they don’t always come in when you need them. Top MSPs combine inbound with proactive outbound strategies.
They use multi-touch, multi-channel campaigns that include:
- Cold email (yes, it still works—if you do it right)
- Phone calls with strong openers
- LinkedIn connection + messaging sequences
And they don’t just send messages—they start conversations.
Channel Hunters Tip: We create, manage, and execute fully branded outbound campaigns that do the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters: closing deals.
3. Follow-Up Is Their Superpower
Top MSPs don’t give up after one email or voicemail. They follow up like pros, with helpful nudges that don’t feel pushy.
It usually takes 6–8 touches to get a response—and most of your competitors give up after 1 or 2.
Channel Hunters Tip: Our appointment setters follow up with precision and consistency. And we track every interaction so nothing slips through the cracks.
4. They Leverage Warm Data, Not Just Cold Lists
The best MSPs don’t just buy a list and blast emails. They use intent data, behavior signals, and tools to identify companies that are actively looking for IT help.
They know which prospects opened emails, clicked links, or visited key landing pages—and tailor their outreach accordingly.
Channel Hunters Tip: We monitor campaign performance daily and adjust messaging in real time based on what’s getting clicks, replies, and conversions.
5. They Know When to Call in the Experts
The most successful MSPs focus on what they do best—delivering top-tier IT solutions. They’re not trying to build an in-house SDR team or manage cold outreach while juggling client tickets.
They partner with lead gen specialists who understand the space and can deliver consistent, qualified appointments.
Channel Hunters Tip: That’s us. We live and breathe B2B tech. We don’t just book meetings—we build pipelines that convert.
Final Thoughts
Lead generation isn’t magic—it’s method.
The MSPs seeing real results aren’t winging it. They’re working smart, staying focused, and building pipelines that don’t just look good—they perform.
At Channel Hunters, we help MSPs, MSSPs, and IT vendors grow faster with done-for-you lead generation and appointment setting campaigns that convert.
