MSPs and MSSPs Should You Hire Internally or Outsource Sales

When it comes to growing your MSP or MSSP, the question isn’t whether you need sales—it’s how to structure your sales process for maximum results. Do you build an internal team from scratch, or do you outsource to a specialized partner like Channel Hunters?

At first glance, building an internal team might seem like the obvious choice. You want control, direct oversight, and maybe even the illusion of cost savings. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find that internal sales teams can come with hidden costs, missed opportunities, and slow scalability.

In this blog, we’ll break down both options and show why outsourcing your sales with Channel Hunters is not just a smart move—it’s a growth catalyst.

Internal Sales: More Control, More Complexity

Hiring your own salespeople offers a sense of control. You manage their day-to-day activities, train them on your services, and have immediate access to performance data. However, it comes with serious challenges:

🛠️ 1. Recruitment Headaches

Hiring sales talent—especially someone with industry experience—is expensive and time-consuming. A bad hire can cost you months of progress and thousands in wasted salary and onboarding.

💸 2. High Overhead Costs

Salaries, commissions, CRM tools, phone systems, and training programs add up fast. You’re not just paying for people—you’re investing heavily in infrastructure.

⌛ 3. Long Ramp-Up Time

Even the best salespeople need time to understand your market, master your offering, and build a pipeline. For MSPs and MSSPs, that learning curve can stretch across months.

❌ 4. Limited Reach

Unless your team is already seasoned in MSP lead gen, they may not know how to consistently reach decision-makers or book high-quality appointments.


Outsourcing Sales: Scalable, Specialized, and Streamlined

At Channel Hunters, we make sales simple for MSPs and MSSPs by handling what we do best: appointment setting and lead generation that works.

Here’s what you gain when you outsource your sales outreach to our team:

✅ 1. Industry-Specific Expertise

We speak your language and understand your audience. Our team has deep experience working with MSPs and MSSPs, so we know how to position your value to the right prospects—fast.

📈 2. Faster Time-to-Results

Unlike internal hires who need months of ramp-up, our team is ready to go from Day One. With proven scripts, processes, and tools in place, we generate qualified appointments quickly and consistently.

💰 3. Lower Cost, Higher ROI

Why pay for full-time salaries, tools, and training when you can tap into a fully operational sales engine at a fraction of the cost? With Channel Hunters, you pay for performance, not trial and error.

📞 4. Better Conversations, Booked for You

We don’t just send leads—we schedule meetings with qualified decision-makers who are ready to talk. That means your team spends less time chasing and more time closing.

🔄 5. Scalability on Demand

Need to scale up outreach before a big campaign or event? We’ve got you covered. Want to target new verticals or geographies? We’ll adjust quickly. That’s the power of outsourcing with a flexible, dedicated partner.


Which Option Makes Sense for You?

The truth is: not every MSP or MSSP is ready to build and manage an internal sales team. And even those that are may not want to take on the risk, time, and cost involved.

Outsourcing gives you:

  • Speed without compromise
  • Expertise that understands the MSP space
  • Appointments with real decision-makers
  • ROI you can measure
