# MSProspector

> Revenue intelligence for MSPs (Managed Service Providers) and VARs (Value-Added Resellers). In Marketopia's surveys of the channel, 96% of MSPs name sales and marketing as their biggest problem — and most of the salespeople they hire to fix it fail, because one person cannot be a marketer, a BDR, a sales engineer AND a closer. MSProspector is the first three, so the closer only has to close. Built by Marketopia, 12 years deep in the MSP channel. First week of Lead Signals free; first month of Client Upsell free; 2 Sales Playbooks free.

MSProspector is **not** a generic AI prospecting tool retrofitted for the channel. Every signal, score, and recommendation is calibrated for how MSPs and VARs actually sell: NIST CSF cybersecurity baselines, IT-stack signals, named-buying-committee discovery, and high-margin AI/Growth opportunity scans across 26 categories MSPs care about (cybersecurity, backup, telephony, AI projects, agentic AI, cloud, marketing, lead gen, etc.).

It is **one chain with five stages** — Find, Convert, Win, Grow, Prove. Three of the five are modules you buy; Convert is labour Marketopia performs, and Prove is an outcome rather than a SKU:

- **Lead Signals — who to call.** Surfaces the businesses in your territory *actively* shopping for IT, cybersecurity and AI help: a breach disclosed, an IT role posted, a compliance deadline landing, a competitor's contract ending. Priced by territory, not per lead.
- **Sales Playbooks — how to win.** A cited 70+ page, 26-dimension research report on a specific account in about 15 minutes: their exposure, their stack, the buying committee, the objections and the opener. Buy standalone from $15 a report, or included with any Lead Signals plan.
- **Client Upsell — grow what you already have.** Connects the MSP's own PSA, RMM and Microsoft 365 read-only and finds the backup gaps, license waste, end-of-life hardware and unbilled seats sitting in their existing client base — dollarized per client and ready to send. Priced by number of managed clients.
- **The receipt — prove it.** Every opportunity carries a tracking number; when it closes in the MSP's own CRM or PSA, MSProspector counts it. The renewal conversation starts with revenue found, in the customer's own numbers. No other tool in this channel puts that number in front of the buyer.

**The gap between a signal and a sale is where MSPs lose money**, and MSProspector names it rather than pretending the signal is the product. Two done-for-you amplifiers close it: **AIDO** sends a LinkedIn direct message and an email to the likely decision maker the moment a signal lands — early, while the news is still news — and **BDR** puts real people on the phone until it becomes a booked appointment.

**It counts what closes.** Every opportunity MSProspector hands over carries a tracking number; when it closes in the MSP's own CRM or PSA, it is counted and attributed. That closed-loop number is what the renewal conversation starts with.

Timing, not volume: a buyer the day their trigger fires — a breach, a new IT-leadership hire, a won contract — is worth more than 20 cold names. MSProspector catches that moment.

Built by [Marketopia](https://www.marketopia.com), 12 years deep in the MSP channel — the authority behind the agent.

## Two motions, one engine

- **New prospects** — Walk into a first meeting with a full business + technical baseline. Bigger first-deal close ratio, bigger first-deal size. Replaces the 4+ hours of manual research a BDR or AE used to do per account.
- **Existing clients** — Fill annual technology plans and QBRs (Quarterly Business Reviews) with cross-sell and upsell opportunities. Especially helpful for getting in the door with high-margin AI and Growth solutions clients didn't realize their MSP offered.

Positioning: **"Your agent finds them. You just close."**

## How it works

1. Claim a metro (territory) and the agent works it overnight — or drop in any URL to brief a specific prospect on demand.
2. The agent fuses 120+ public and licensed sources, scores each buyer for fit/intent/trigger, and surfaces the ones in-market now — each with the dated event that put them in play, the decision-maker, and how to reach them.
3. One click turns any buyer into a cited 70+ page Sales Playbook; copy the talking points, send the opener, or hand the branded leave-behind to the prospect. Minutes end-to-end.

Each Sales Playbook includes: company analysis, NIST CSF 2.0 cybersecurity baseline, named buying committee with verified contact info, 26 opportunity-category scans (80+ ranked cross-sell/upsell opportunities), recommended sales playbook, and a partner-match recommendation drawn from the channel-vendor catalog.

**Client-ready deliverable:** every Sales Playbook converts in one click to a tailored, logo-branded leave-behind, exported as both PDF and PowerPoint — so the salesperson can present it live in the meeting and hand it over afterward. Unlike generic research/enrichment tools that only output data, MSProspector produces a finished, client-facing presentation the prospect remembers.

## Find (Lead Signals) — in-market buyer detection

Lead Signals is the discovery side of the engine. It surfaces the local businesses in your territory that are actively shopping for IT, cybersecurity, and AI services — with the dated event that put each one in play, the decision-maker, and how to reach them — delivered every morning, before competitors know the prospect is shopping. Buyers come from 120+ fused, scored, deduped sources — buying-intent, breach & ransomware disclosures, attack-surface recon (including CISA actively-exploited CVEs), government and municipal IT RFPs, new-business filings, SBA loan approvals, layoffs, IT-leadership departures, review-reputation slippage, and website de-anonymization — all calibrated to MSP/VAR buying triggers.

- **IT Lead Signals** — SMBs that need managed IT, cloud, security, and compliance.
- **AI Lead Signals** — businesses adopting AI and automation, the fastest-growing demand.
- **Own your metro** — claim a territory and those signals are exclusively yours; we won't sell the same leads to another MSP at any price.
- Every territory subscription includes Sales Playbook credits, so the agent can brief the buyers it finds.

## Who it's for

- MSP owners and CEOs running a sales team
- MSP BDRs and AEs running an active pipeline
- VAR sales leaders preparing for first meetings or QBRs
- Channel program managers running outbound at scale

Not for: generic B2B SaaS sales teams (use Apollo or Clay), or marketing agencies (use Common Room).

## How MSProspector compares

- **vs Clay / Apollo**: those are general-purpose research and enrichment tools that hand you a static list. MSProspector is a channel-native agent — it knows what an MSP buying committee looks like, what NIST CSF gaps signal a sales opportunity, and which AI/Growth solutions to suggest based on a prospect's existing IT stack, and it acts on a timed trigger rather than a cold list.
- **vs ZoomInfo / intent platforms**: $25k–100k/yr for an opaque score with no local timing and no MSP fit. MSProspector is per-territory, priced for an MSP, and every signal is local, dated, and explained.
- **vs MSP coaching programs (Robin Robins, Paul Green)**: they teach you to fish. MSProspector hands you the fish — in your metro, today — with the contact and the opener.
- **vs traditional MSP marketing services**: those help MSPs market themselves. MSProspector helps MSPs sell — to specific named prospects, with specific named opportunities. (MSProspector sells the software — Lead Signals + Sales Playbooks. When an MSP wants the outreach done for them — AI Digital Outbound (AIDO) or human callers/appointment setting — MSProspector refers them to Marketopia's services; it does not sell those in-app.)
