We’ve always described JoomConnect as a marketing automation platform. After all, it integrates your website into ConnectWise and Autotask, so one of its biggest strengths is automating the lead generation process. With that said, our MSP has been using it for a long time to streamline our support process, and it’s done a lot to ensure that otherwise complicated tickets are handled much faster.

Wow! We are excited to be celebrating 15 years since the initial development of our JoomConnect platform. What started out as a login connection between ConnectWise and Joomla has grown into an assortment of marketing services for managed service providers by a managed services provider.

We wanted to take a few moments to dive into some of the capabilities that a form on your website’s landing pages can offer in conjunction with ConnectWise Manage and Autotask.

We cannot believe today is the day; the launch of JoomConnect. The Directive JoomConnect Team has been burning the midnight oil to ensure a smooth launch of our website.

We ran into a little problem. As it turns out, so many MSPs are taking advantage of our marketing solutions we often get sales requests by our clients' competition. I suppose this isn't a bad problem to have! We are implementing a solution right now to combat this and prevent locally competing MSPs from marketing with the same content. We call it GEO Protection.
In an effort to improve the blog service, we are implementing new blog categories. These categories will assist in the organization of the blogs, making them easier to find by readers and helping search engines in crawling.
While the exact amount may vary, there’s one thing that is always true: Generating and converting leads to sales takes time and effort. Much to the chagrin of sales managers and businesses owners, the majority of leads are not properly followed up on, if they’re followed up on at all. Approximately 20% of all leads are abandoned after the second follow-up attempt. Converting a lead into a sale requires nurturing - and nurturing takes time. But, there are ways that you can improve your follow up procedure without bogging down your sales team with additional work.
The spirit of the season is upon us and we want to let our friends, family, clients and colleagues know how much we appreciate them! We have had a truly wonderful 2015, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been up to!
