Recently, ESET conducted an SMB survey in Europe and North  America which clearly showed that some of the security sentiment driving SMBs to opt out of on-site security solutions is a lack of employee cyber awareness, the threat of nation state attacks, coping with the hybrid working model, as well as Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) threats. Data breaches also tend to be caused by improper deployment of solutions and product vulnerabilities. And so most SMBs want cyber help, preferably by outsourcing their cybersecurity to experts.

Larry Walsh, CEO of Channelnomics says, there are three things MSPs need to focus on in order to cater to their SMB customers. The main and most important one being, user experience. Customers want an experienced service provider as well as a good solution. They are willing to pay more to get the experience, which ultimately grows the MSPs’ revenue. The first time a customer looks for a solution they make a choice based on price, however renewal is often based on experience.

The second thing is marketing and communications, which for an average MSP tends to be weak. End users want more than just features, they want to be informed, they want to understand and feel connected to their MSP.

Last, but not least, is conservation and optimization. The coming year will be hard for most businesses, MSPs included. They, just like any other business, need to think about their budget and spending, optimize processes and reduce complexity, and then translate all of that into customer experience.
