    How Do I WIN the Attention of Larger MSPs? Jennifer Roy, CEO of Nucleus Networks, Gives You The Cheat Codes

    Send us a text In this episode of the WIN Podcast, host Carrie Richardson sits down with Jennifer Roy to unpack how vendors can successfully connect with enterprise-grade managed service providers. Roy shares insights from her leadership at Nucleus Networks, a multi-location MSP within the Lyra Technology Group family, and breaks down how her team prepares for events like Pax8 Beyond. Roy discusses what catches her attention at vendor booths, how her team prioritizes discovery calls, and why follow-up matters more than flash. She emphasizes the importance of being informed, respectful of time zones, and strategically aligned with an MSP’s operational goals.  Vendors who come prepared—and stay professional—are the ones who make it onto her calendar.
