  • Episode 33 - The Webinar Framework: Build a 24/7 Lead Gen Machine (w/ Guest: Scott Millar)
    Feb 2 2026

    Word-of-mouth is the lifeblood of the MSP, but it is notoriously difficult to scale. In this episode, Brian Gillette sits down with Scott Millar (IT Rockstars), author of Virtually Irresistible, to discuss why webinars are the ultimate bridge between technical expertise and scalable relationship building.

    Many MSP owners avoid webinars due to "tech anxiety" or a fear of public speaking, but Scott reframes the process as a repeatable system rather than a performance. They dive deep into the tactical side of lead generation, explaining why Meta’s machine learning often outperforms LinkedIn for reaching decision-makers at a fraction of the cost.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why "dog whistle" copy is the key to attracting your ideal client profile
    • How to overcome camera shyness by acting as a "guest expert"
    • The technical "minimum viable process": Why audio quality matters most
    • To upcycle one 40-minute webinar into two months of social media authority

    This episode provides the structural blueprint to move from accidental 'word-of-mouth' growth to an intentional, scalable inbound system.

  • Episode 32 - From Survival to Scale: An MSP Growth Story (w/Guests: John Snyder & Neelesh Patel)
    Jan 19 2026

    In Episode 32 of The MSP Sales Podcast, Brian Gillette is joined by John Snyder (CEO) and Neelesh Patel (President) of Net Friends for a candid, behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to build a successful MSP - the wins, the mistakes, and the decisions that shaped where they are today.

    This isn’t a polished success story. It’s an honest conversation about growth through constraint, learning the hard way, and how a strong partnership became a competitive advantage instead of a liability. John and Neelesh share how they navigated leadership challenges, clarified roles, and built trust as the company scaled.

    Along the way, they dig into how Net Friends thinks about marketing, differentiation, and experimentation. This episode is packed with insights MSP owners can actually apply.

    In this episode, you’ll hear: ➡️ How a strong CEO–President partnership accelerates growth ➡️ The mistakes they made early - and what they’d do differently ➡️ Why clarity of roles matters more as MSPs scale ➡️ Creative marketing and AI ideas

    If you’re an MSP who wants to learn from people who’ve lived it - this episode offers a look at what sustainable success requires.

  • Episode 31 - Reactive to Intentional: How MSP Leaders Actually Level Up (w/ Guest: Chris Day)
    Jan 5 2026

    In Episode 31 of The MSP Sales Podcast, Brian Gillette is joined by Chris Day (CEO at ScalePad) for a no-nonsense conversation about the shift every MSP leader must make to move from reactive survival mode to intentional leadership.

    Too many MSPs remain dependent on the owner. Every decision, escalation, and bottleneck runs through one person. Chris breaks down why this happens, how it silently limits momentum, and what it actually takes to build an MSP that can operate and grow without constant founder involvement.

    Together, Brian and Chris explore: ➡️ Why reactivity keeps MSPs stuck (even when revenue is growing) ➡️ How intentional leadership creates leverage ➡️ How to build systems instead of dependencies ➡️ How to step out of the day-to-day without losing control of the business

    If you’re an MSP owner who feels indispensable to your business - or concerned that your growth still feels fragile - this episode will challenge how you think about what “leveling up” looks like.
