Vince Tinnirello, Bettering IT Services by Borrowing from Hospitality

It's always great to catch up with my old friend Vince Tinnirello.   Vince Tinnirello   Vince is the Managing Director of Anchor Network Solutions, a Denver-based managed IT service provider, founded in 2002. He is the immediate past Chair of the CompTIA Managed Services Community, and very passionate about the IT Services industry and the service Anchor delivers to its clients. Vince lives in the foothills of Denver, and when not working enjoys skiing, climbing, mountain biking and golf. He recently completed his goal to summit all of Colorado’s 55 mountains above 14,000 feet and to ski in Japan.   After spending many years with Marriott, Vince moved to the IT industry and realized that lots of technicians aren't very good with the personal side of business. So he went to work training and guiding his employees to support his brand.   Vince tells a great story about climbing all the major mountain peaks in Colorado (some more than once). Of course that leads to a discussion of relaxing your brain and recharging your batteries.   Vince is also a big advocate (and member) of Peer Groups. Even with a three million dollar business, Vince finds value in meeting with other business owners to talk about their challenges and victories. Here he talks about the peer session tracks that he manages for DattoCon.   In general, we have a fun conversation about client engagement, employee management, and peer level relationships.

Vince Tinnirello: Climbing the Mountain to Work-Life Balance

You must understand the breakdown of your costs, services and delivery so that you know how much to charge people, says Vince Tinnirello of Anchor Network Solutions in this episode of Breaking Barriers. It’s one of many tips he offers during this talk with Managed Services Community leader Lisa Person. During the episode, they discuss two core concepts: What does it cost me to deliver service by the hour and how do I price my service offering to clients? “You have to know your expenses and your revenue in order to understand the health of your business,” Tinnirello says. They talk about overall costs and also get into specifics, like whether long term technology planning counts as a service as much as antivirus. “If you really want to measure your true costs, you have to include all of them.”Listen for tips on how to calculate your hourly cost of delivery, decide how much you can charge your clients and factor in curveballs, like client neediness and aging infrastructure. Stay tuned to the end for a deep dive into P&amp;L and ways to stretch your margins.Resources referenced in the podcastHCSD Calculator https://www.comptia.org/communities/resources/hourly-cost-of-service-delivery-calculatorService Plan Pricing https://www.comptia.org/communities/resources/service-plan-pricing-calculatorA sample chart of accounts page 6 of Quick Start Guide to Managed IT Service pdf.  https://www.comptia.org/resources/comptia-quick-start-guide-to-managed-it-service
