James Guthrie 🏴
AJE@jamesjguthrie I’m a CISO but technical and have worked with the sales side of the house in previous job. What do you need / what’s your question and I will see if I can help.
@AJE First question I want to put out there is: if you were launching as a new MSSP, what would you do to get that first customer?
@AJE I don't know if you've worked in a startup before so if you don't have any advice here then that's no problem :P
@jamesjguthrie I founded, built and sold an MSP company.
As a ‘new’ MSSP, what is your intended focus?
- Tech solution (ie SD WAN)
- Industry focus (ie dentists)
- Geographic focus (ie in the county/city/town)
- Size focus (100 - 200 users etc)
- Anyone with $$ in the bank to be able to pay?
That would be the first decision, then do you have a way into that group/focus area?
What’s your choice, and why?

@AJE Ok that's awesome and thank you for taking the time to reply. Can I DM you?
@jamesjguthrie yes, but new to Mastodon, so honestly don’t know how to within this app. From what I’ve read, this doesn’t have that ability? I’m on WhatsApp etc, and am@in the USA. Are you in Scotland (ref your football team in profile)
@AJE Indeed yeah I'm in Scotland. I sent you a DM, let me know if you received it in your timeline (will be marked as private or have an envelope icon if you're on the Tusky app)
@jamesjguthrie not seeing anything on the Mastodon iPhone app I’m using. What is the app name? Does it have an iPhone version?
@AJE Ah I think the official apps don't support DM's. The website is much better, or on Android I use Tusky. On iOS I think people recommend Tootle or Metatext but I haven't tried those.
@jamesjguthrie just sent you an email with direct contact info.
