WIN
I'm Carrie Richardson, and this is WIN: a podcast for MSP owners and IT channel sales leaders who are done guessing at sales and marketing and ready to get good at it on purpose.
My co-host Ian Richardson and I have both sat on both sides of the table. Ian built and exited an MSP and I've spent 15 years building pipeline for MSPs and channel vendors.
Between us, we've made the calls, missed the quotas, and closed the deals that actually moved revenue.
Every episode we sit down with an MSP owner, a sales leader, or a vendor exec and ask:
How are you winning?
No theory.
No recycled advice you've already read on LinkedIn.
Just the actual plays IT channel leaders are running right now to land new logos, protect MRR, and build something worth selling one day.

Doug Miller of Brightworks spent 15 years trying to fix his MSP's sales problem. Cold email blasts, LinkedIn programs, hired reps who couldn't prospect - everything, really. Then he found a process that actually worked. In this episode, host Carrie Richardson talks with Doug about why a business built entirely on referrals can't be sold, why cold calling still works in the IT channel, and how stepping back from sales completely helped Brightworks post its best year ever, with an internal sale to his son and COO already in motion.
Topics covered:
- Why an MSP built on referrals can't actually be sold
- Why owners can't just teach their own sales playbook to a rep
- Why cold calling isn't dead for MSPs
- How Brightworks built and supported a top-performing sales rep
- Red flags for disqualifying the wrong-fit client
- Doug's exit plan, and what he's doing to prepare for it
