Bruce said. “During the Road Show, we did five cities, and each time got no less than 25 hot first-time appointments. We are seeing a 54% close rate on all of our sales leads coming from Robin’s events.” During the first eight months of working with Robin’s team, Bruce has generated over $1 million in recurring revenue sales that can be directly traced back to his partnership with her. “Our goal is to help the MSP com - munity secure and protect themselves from hackers and advanced, persistent threats,” Bruce said, “and to do that, we need everyone’s help. Whether you’re an MSP with a few clients or a channel vendor with a couple of hundred MSPs, we’re interested in collaborating and helping to improve the security posture of our entire community.” n
