Building a Community‑First Vendor with ImmyBot (955)

Channel chief Tara Rummer returns to share how ImmyBot is growing as a community‑first company in 2026. She and Uncle Marv dig into leadership planning, AI debates, partner experience, and what it really means to support MSPs without turning every interaction into a sales pitch.

This episode gives MSPs a behind‑the‑scenes look at how ImmyBot plans and grows without becoming “just another sales‑driven vendor.” Tara pulls back the curtain on their 2026 leadership retreat, AI debates, partner experience goals, and the community‑led mindset that attracted over 1,000 MSPs without a traditional sales team.
