How We Onboard MSPs and IT Companies: Step-by-Step With The Business Growers

Written by: Laura Johns

Starting with a new marketing partner can feel like a big leap, especially in the IT space, where trust, timelines, and transparency matter. That’s why we’ve built a streamlined onboarding process designed to make you feel confident from day one. 

Whether you’re launching a brand refresh, a paid ads campaign, a new website, or a full-scale marketing program, our team is here to guide you through each step with clarity, consistency, and care.

Our Onboarding Process for MSP and IT Marketing Success

Our onboarding process is built with structure and speed in mind. From kickoff to strategy handoff, every step leads your MSPs and IT companies to a clear path to marketing momentum. 

Below, we break down exactly what happens when you start working with The Business Growers.

Step-by-Step: How We Onboard MSPs and IT Companies for Growth

We Kick Things Off With Purpose

Every engagement begins with a kickoff call, your first introduction to the team that will help drive your growth. We walk through your goals, answer questions, and share a detailed roadmap for the year ahead. You’ll know exactly what to expect and when.

You’ll Complete a Quick Discovery Guide

Before that kickoff, we’ll ask you to fill out a Discovery Guide. It takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the program you’ve chosen and what assets you already have. This step ensures we hit the ground running with the right context in hand.

The First 90 Days Are Structured for Momentum

Your time is valuable. Here’s the average commitment:

  • Kickoff call: up to 2 hours
  • Biweekly onboarding calls (first ~ 60 days): 30 minutes with your Launch Specialist
  • Material reviews: You’ll also spend about an hour every two weeks reviewing materials like blog drafts, campaign content, or strategy documents.

This early phase is where your input matters most, whether it’s sharing existing brand materials, granting platform access, or helping shape your messaging.

You’ll Transition to Long-Term Strategy Mode

At the 60-day mark, you’ll “graduate” from onboarding and start meeting monthly with your Client Success Manager. These sessions focus on strategy, reporting, and next steps tailored to your goals.

We Handle the Tech, So You Don’t Have To

From CRM integrations to analytics setup, our team manages all the backend work. You also get access to a 24/7 dashboard where you can track progress and performance without chasing down reports.

Every Step Is Designed to Keep You Informed

We don’t disappear behind the curtain. You’ll know what’s happening, what we need from you, and what’s coming next. No guessing games. No surprises.
