My Clients Say
We implemented Autotask many years ago, and it turns out via a mixture of never having done it quite right, new features not being taken advantage of, and some bad habits, we were due a tune up!
Ben’s in-depth knowledge of the end-to-end toolset we used (Hubspot, Zomentum, Autotask and Xero) meant he could handhold us through optimising the software to make this process run as smoothly and efficiently as possible – and then get the reporting out with less effort too!
Sure, we could have done much of this ourselves, but it would have taken us significantly longer, and since time is money, our investment in Ben was an easy ROI.

We are extremely fortunate to have enlisted the expertise of Ben Spector as our AutoTask Consultant during our company’s transition to AutoTask and Zomentum. Ben’s extensive experience in the field proved to be invaluable, as he guided us seamlessly through the implementation process.
Ben’s wealth of knowledge allowed him to offer us tailored advice and solutions that are specifically designed for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) like us. His deep bench of resources ensured that we always had access to the right answers and assistance whenever we encountered challenges beyond his immediate scope.
Our sessions with Ben were nothing short of productive and enlightening. Each interaction left us with a profound understanding of both the tools themselves and their direct impact on our business operations. It was refreshing to work alongside someone who not only comprehends our industry but also possesses an intimate understanding of its key players.
What truly sets Ben apart is his ability to address difficult issues head-on while simultaneously providing practical solutions. He fearlessly tackles tough topics, ensuring that we confront and resolve any potential obstacles. Having someone like Ben on our team, who has access to an extensive range of solutions, has proven to be a tremendous asset to our operations, both operationally and financially.
We wholeheartedly recommend Ben Spector as an AutoTask Consultant. His expertise, industry knowledge, and unwavering dedication to our success have had a transformative impact on our business. We are grateful for the guidance he has provided, and we look forward to continuing our professional relationship with him in the future.

The Bigger Picture
From running my own MSP, I know how easy it is to get caught up in the day-to-day:
– Trying to ensure that you’re delivering best-in-breed service to clients,
– Ensuring your teams are supported, trained and effective
– Managing and developing client strategies and projects ensuring they’re being optimised and developed.
All tasks take tend to take up more time and dedication than initially suspected, and often this impacts efficiencies and other tasks.
Alongside the day-to-day, MSP owners are more often than not also:
– Managing up-sale opportunities,
– Holding client strategy consultations,
– Delivering ad hoc, long-term, and interim support,
– along with much more.
With this added pressure and drain on your time, evolving the growth of your MSP, developing, and implementing your own strategy, can take a back seat.
Losing sight of your personal goals for the business, can be easy to do.
The demands brought about by Covid-19 caused many businesses, MSP’s included, to change how they worked, to define fully-remote working practices and implement them internally while assisting their clients. This has transformed the working world, and as MSPs were addressing the New-Normal needs for their clients, their own strategies and processes also had to be tactically reviewed to ensure best-practice internally. This additional work has meant that many busy MSP owners are struggling to define and attain their long-term personal and professional goals.
As the owner of an MSP, when was the last time you reviewed your business strategy in line with your personal goals?
