About The Book
Technology service providers know how to keep systems running. But technical excellence alone no longer guarantees client loyalty or sustainable growth. When every provider offers similar tools and response times, clients default to price comparisons. The result is a race-to-the-bottom pricing dynamic that threatens profitability and limits potential.
MSP to MVP provides the missing methodology. Author Chris Day draws on more than twenty years of experience building and scaling technology service businesses to introduce the Six Disciplines of Customer Success, a practical operating system for managing and growing long-term client relationships.
Inside, you will learn how to:
- Understand what clients need at different stages of their business journey
- Measure relationship health before small issues become big problems
- Deliver value that resonates with business leaders
- Build repeatable processes that drive retention and growth
Whether you lead a growing service business or manage client relationships daily, this book equips you with actionable insights to build unbreakable partnerships and achieve sustainable growth.

Raves and Reviews
"Customer Success gets real when you stop talking about intent and start looking at the numbers. This book pushes MSP leaders to confront what retention, expansion, and customer risk are actually telling them—and to act on it."
— Rashaad Bajwa
Executive Chairman of the Board of Integris
"Most customer issues come down to missed expectations, not bad intent. This book does a great job of showing how clearer ownership and communication lead to healthier, longer-term customer relationships."
— Marc Capobianco
Former COO, Thrive
"This book reframes Customer Success from a role or department into a way of running an MSP. It reflects the same patterns Chris and I have seen firsthand while building one of the most progressive MSPs in Canada—where success comes from being proactive, intentional, and aligned around customer outcomes."
— Martin DesRosiers
Regional CEO, Lyra Technology Group
"Technical excellence is table stakes. Value becomes visible when technology is aligned to a client's business outcomes and used as a competitive advantage, not just to ensure uptime and security. This book challenges our industry to put the customer first and build true strategic partnerships."
— Steven Friedkin
CEO, Ntiva
"Chris Day captures what it takes to build lasting client relationships beyond the tech—it's about discipline, accountability, and making the hard cultural shifts. This book nails how consistent Customer Success practices can move MSPs from service providers to strategic partners."
— Joe Markert
CEO, TransformITive
"Customer Success isn't a moment—it's the disciplined orchestration of the entire lifecycle from sale to measurable value realization. The best MSPs think in strategic moves, not reactive motions, and this book clearly lays out how to turn onboarding, adoption, and ongoing engagement into a deliberate system of repeatable value creation."
— Glenn Mathis
CEO, Integris
"Customer Success has matured into a real operating discipline in SaaS, but MSPs have struggled to apply it in practice. MSP to MVP does the hard work of translating Customer Success into a service-based world and shows what it actually takes to make it scale."
— Nick Mehta
Former CEO, Gainsight
"MSPs fail at Customer Success, not because they don't care, but because they don't execute in clear, practical ways. This book makes it approachable and actionable for teams at every scale."
— Peter Melby
CEO, New Charter Technologies
"This book does a strong job of connecting Customer Success to the real mechanics of running an MSP. It highlights why being intentional about customer outcomes isn't optional—even for smaller or less mature organizations."
— Daniel Petersen
President, Applied Tech
"For the past decade, the MSP industry won by focusing inward—tightening operations, standardizing services, improving efficiency. The next decade will be defined by those who focus outward, aligning people, process, and technology around customer goals. As a participant and witness of this industry for three decades, I've seen firsthand that the ITSPs who have led during each transformation have succeeded. This book captures that next change and challenges MSPs to make that shift."
— Dan Wensley
CEO, GTIA
