13. Your business opportunity!
Sell Managed Services!
• Huge interest in managed services because
• à they don’t know much about infrastructure and they don’t care either
• à they need a consistent and agile infrastructure in order to run multiple instances
of websites and applications in both test and production environments
• à they spend too much valuable time on configuration/infrastructure management
tasks (i.e. updates,patches) and security
• à they have to deal with too many manual tasks overall
• Web Pros often provide additional services on top of website design such as customer
website management and administration
• à a good upsell opportunity to generate more profit
• They search often for complementary add-ons,like extra security,SEO,SEM tools, etc.

14. Buying behaviour
How do I sell ?
• Web pros are price sensitive but happily pay a premium for services that resolve most
common pain points
• Prefer to buy fully fledged solutions (bundles!)rather than a generic IaaS offerings (product
configurators)
• Simplicity is key!WYSIWYG is important to convert a sale
• Word of mouth is more important to drive a buying decision than any kind of advertising
• Search for vendor recommendations in blogs within theWP community
