As a new generation of MSP leaders emerges—many of them digital natives with a sharper focus on scalability, positioning, and enterprise value—the rules for building sustainable growth are evolving. We welcome revenue strategist Megan Killion, Chief Consultant at Pisces Growth Consulting, to unpack what next-generation MSP owners must understand if they want to increase revenue and scale with intention.We discuss why revenue must be engineered—not accidental—and why founders must move beyond hustle-based growth into intentional revenue architecture. Megan highlights the importance of niching smarter, designing repeatable sales systems, leveraging modern tools like AI without losing the human element of sales, and building strategic relationships through purposeful networking. The takeaway is clear: focus on solving a specific problem better than anyone else, build systems before hiring sales teams, and scale only when the operational foundation is ready.
Highlights include:The NextGen of MSP leaders are more intentional about scalability, positioning, and enterprise value.Revenue is engineered through clear positioning, ICP definition, and repeatable sales systems.Niche smarter—specialization drives differentiation and prevents competing on price.Avoid premature scaling: don’t “pour gasoline on the fire” before systems are ready.AI and automation are tools, but the human aspect of sales remains critical.Strategic networking and asking better questions accelerates leadership growth and opportunity.Listeners can connect with Megan on LinkedIn or learn more about her work at MeganKillion.com.

As we prepare for upcoming events and conferences, and to powerfully closed out 2026 we are replaying a special episode about how AI training simulators can deliver hyper-personalized learning and development to support your organization's growth initiatives. What if you could step into a high-stakes sales conversation, test your instincts, refine your message, and even “clone” your best leadership coaching moments—without ever risking a real deal? Let's explore how AI-powered roleplay simulations are redefining sales enablement, giving leaders a scalable way to coach, develop, and empower their teams. At a time when pipeline management, forecasting, hiring, and customer demands are all competing for attention, the traditional coaching model is breaking under pressure.
