Using r/msp for lead generation

A precise niche sub if your product serves MSPs or IT service businesses — RMM, PSA, security, billing. The audience is tool-obsessed and openly compares vendors and pricing.

Buying signals to watch for
  • "What [RMM/PSA/security] tool do you use" threads
  • Vendor-experience and migration posts
  • Pricing and licensing frustration threads
  • "How do you handle [process]" operations questions
Self-promotion rules

Vendor-aware community. Disclose vendor status; the sub respects depth and punishes fluff.
