I am yet again super proud of our entire organization... the ONLY VENDOR to be named a Customer's Choice in Gartner's latest Peer Review process. I know our Federal customer base has a unique set of needs. Ones our Engineering/PM and Sales organizations have rapidly evolved to meet the ever changing threat landscape. With a 4.8/5 customer rating and 95% of our customers recommending us, my question for those NOT partnering with Vectra AI is simple... why not? I promise you've been owned. I promise that EDR alone isn't filling the need. And I promise that the rational outcomes in terms of reduced operational costs, reduced dwell time, and a better IR/SOC response narrative will resonate well with your senior leadership. https://lnkd.in/eNEJUjpX

In my role supporting telecom operators, I keep hearing: "We already have VoIPMonitor, we're covered." But here's what most don't realize - modern voice service monitoring needs have evolved way beyond basic packet sniffing and SIP tracking. Here’s a comparison that shows the gap between basic monitoring and true carrier-grade solutions: ➤Automatic root cause detection (game-changer for troubleshooting!) ➤Real codec-level analysis (not just network metrics) True scalability for large networks For those running serious voice operations: you might want to check if your monitoring solution is really giving you the full picture. Curious? Take a look at this detailed comparison https://lnkd.in/dUSZrNaQ #NetworkMonitoring #Telecommunications #NetworkOperations #TelecomInnovation #Voipfuture

5 Tips for Closing MSP Deals (That Actually Work... Probably) Hey, salespeople. Let’s talk MSP deals. It’s not like selling a pack of gum. People don’t walk into a store and go, “You know what I need? Managed IT services.” You gotta work for it, and I’ve got tips that’ll help you close deals faster than your IT guy turns everything off and back on. 1. Sell Peace of Mind, Not Tech Stuff ☎️ 🖨️ No one wants to hear about firewalls, routers, or whatever fancy buzzword the IT department came up with this year. Sell them on peace of mind. “Hey, if something breaks, you don’t have to freak out and call your cousin Larry who once fixed a printer in ’06. We’ve got you covered.” 2. Always Mention the Downtime 🕰️ Businesses hate downtime like I hate running. Paint the picture: “Imagine your team just staring at their screens because nothing works. Productivity is zero. Chaos ensues. Someone starts a paperclip fort. With our MSP services, that doesn’t happen.” 3. Talk ROI... Like It’s the Only Language You Know 🤑 “You’re spending $50 now, but we’re saving you $100 in tech headaches later.” That’s the vibe. Show them how MSP isn’t a cost, it’s an investment. Bonus points if you sound like you came straight out of an episode of Shark Tank. 4. Use Analogies That Hit Home 🥳 “An MSP is like a babysitter for your IT stuff. You leave, and everything’s fine when you get back. Without one? You’re leaving the kids (or your network) alone with scissors and glitter. Not a great plan.” 5. Focus on Cybersecurity 👨‍✈️ Let’s face it—hackers are scary. Remind them: “We keep hackers out so you don’t end up on the news explaining how all your customer data is now on Reddit. No one wants that press release.” Look, closing MSP deals isn’t rocket science. It’s people science. Speak their language, solve their problems, and throw in a joke or two. Now go out there and sell some MSP! (And when you do, remember me when you’re buying the next round.) #digitalmarketing #innovation #sales #management #technology #socialmedia #creativity #futurism
