Cloud Services in a Month is a no-nonsense guide to building an extremely profitable cloud service business focused on small business. This guide is filled with practical and click-by-click advice. Based on author Karl Palachuk’s experience over more than a decade selling cloud services.
Palachuk spells out all the details you need to build a bundled offering of services he calls the Cloud Five-Pack™. In addition to describing all the details of building a unique offering, this book includes dozens of downloadable checklists.
Rather than seeing “cloud services” as a replacement for managed services, Palachuk shows you how to combine cloud services and managed services into the the Killer Combo that will become your business model for the 2020’s.
Karl Palachuk is one of the most well-known and respected authors and pioneers in the Managed Services industry and has sold and delivered millions of dollars of Cloud services to his clients. In this book he shares exactly how he did it.
