@scottalanmiller I do not see that ending well.
Actually I don't see it starting at all.
It started sounding like he wanted to be a sales person, but then he doesn't know the specs needed for any of the sales - so he's have to hire that part out.. so what value does he bring?He's the idea guy! You don't have to know sales, computers, or how to properly punctuate if you have the ideas. His staff will flock to him because he has the idea and they'll work for free because they believe in him. And it will all work out and he will be rich before 2018 hits and he will buy a boat and retire from his fortune 500 company in 5 years.

He doesn't even have enough of an idea to know what business he was going into! LOL

LIterally, with the exception of Gary's one post pointing out casually that people don't know what they are talking about, every single post in this thread, including the OP's, makes no sense whatsoever and no one seems to know anything about virtualization, Hyper-V, VMware, or Windows. The lack of common sense, basic technology information, basic licensing, or common products is insane. How can so many people, giving so much advice, not even know what products they are talking about?

I've got it. Person opens a restaurant. Attached to the restaurant is a paintball field / arena for entertainment. Think "get shot with paint, then eat delicious noms." At the same time, you can order servers while eating your delicious nom.

My entire account is controversial. It's SW's way of saying, we're watching you to make sure you don't go on a tear.

@scottalanmiller I want to start a MSP thread-
I saw that too and since it was his first post figured that someone is trolling us.

LOL, that thread is super weird. And the OP doesn't appear to have responded... quite fishy.

I get the first time posters that ask how to get their laptop to boot and stuff like that. A post about starting a MSP as a first post?

Right, exactly. Everyone needs a first post and there are loads of questions to ask, discussions to get into and stuff that make sense. Leaping into "I'm going to run a company managing people like you all... that I need advice from" is really odd.

Why aren’t they moderating repetitive topics too.
And the horrible titles that doesn’t even go with their post. -

And the horrible titles that doesn’t even go with their post.And I keep getting told contradictory things. Like to "follow community rules" by someone that we know is breaking the rules to post the very post in which they say it. Or telling me to remember to treat the people as professionals - when the very problem is that that's what I did and in reality, he wasn't. They want me to say I'm treating them like professionals, but then actually treat them like children.

"Hello People,
Thank you so much for the answers...and I am sorry for confusing things here with a bad example of a VAR and not a MSP.
Let me try again to make sense, Here is the plan:
I have worked for Microsoft (contact Center - Enterprise SBS troubleshooting), Dell and IBM (Managed services division) for more than 15 years now started as a tech resource and grew to a project/Program Manager handling services projects including transitions and transformations.
-
I would like to start off using the RMM such as Labtech or solarwinds to monitor the clients environment and have them troubleshoot on a need basis. Once a I have a few clients that i manage then i would like to expand/grow.
-
To grow I can start selling servers and storage etc and then provide services in a package for rack and configure etc - (sorry a bad example in the first go).
I hope this makes it clear about my MSP intention. However, the question is that I have only worked on Windows technology all my life but sometimes you may get clients with Mainframe and AIX in their DC's so do i reject their contracts? or just provide services related to windows only.
One of my friend is located in Singapore and can support me with this in a 24*7 model as it is an exact 12 hour difference between Canada and Singapore.
apart from that I need help with generating leads (THE MOST IMPORTANT) how and where do i get the leads from... I am not a sales person however, I am very good at building repo and working with customers and I have FULL confidence in my self that I will be able to make it through sales (might also consider sales training)
I also need help with Sales pitches if someone can help with templates or scripts which I may use and modify as per my needs (Voice and Email) that would be good too."
Doesn't have sales either.
