Hear from experienced MSP owners, IT business leaders, industry experts, and technology vendors about what works, what doesn’t, and what it takes to build a stronger IT business. Get an honest look at industry trends, vendor claims, emerging technologies, and the decisions that affect your customers, your team, and your bottom line.

Your Biggest Client Is Killing You! (959)

Are you secretly working for your biggest client instead of running your MSP? In this solo Wednesday live show, Uncle Marv unpacks how your largest, loudest client can quietly crush your margins, burn your time, and dictate your entire operation if you’re not careful. Using UPS cutting Amazon and his own decision to fire a huge multi-office client, he gives you a practical roadmap to reclaim control.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by a giant client that underpays, over-demands, and burns your weekends, this one is for you. Marv breaks down how UPS cut Amazon, how he fired a client that was 34% of his revenue, and how you can do the same without tanking your MSP.

Why Listen

  • See how UPS cutting Amazon volume mirrors MSPs cutting low-margin, high-noise clients.
  • Hear the full story of firing a massive, multi-office client that consumed over half of Marv’s time.

  • Walk away with guardrails so no client exceeds a healthy percentage of your MRR again.
  • Get practical tips for resetting SLAs, pricing, and standard stacks without apologizing.
