In order to be considered for the MSPmentor 250 (2009 edition), you had to be nominated via an online survey, which MSPmentor and Nine Lives Media Inc. conducted from May 13, 2009 until July 10, 2009. We considered a range of factors (executive experience, innovations, momentum, track record) as we zeroed in on the top 250 names.

So, what’s the difference between the MSPmentor 100 (unveiled each Q1) and the MSPmentor 250 (unveiled each Q3)? It’s simple: While the MSPmentor 100 focuses on the world’s most successful managed service provider businesses, the MSPmentor 250 focuses on the personalities you need to know across this industry. The MSPmentor 100 leverages fact-based metrics (annual MSP revenue growth, revenue per employee, revenue per managed device, etc.) but the MSPmentor 250 is driven purely by word of mouth and personal reputation.

Complete the Survey

To nominate someone for the MSPmentor 250, simply fill out this online survey. It only requires a few minutes of time. And yes, you can nominate yourself.

The resulting MSPmentor 250 report, to be published this summer, will likely feature CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, entrepreneurs, sales executives, marketing experts, PR pros, association leaders and other top minds who are shaping the global managed services ecosystem. We don’t rank executives by number. Rather, we present them to you in alphabetical order.

So, what’s the difference between the MSPmentor 100 (unveiled each Q1) and the MSPmentor 250 (unveiled each Q3)? Here are some quick pointers:

• The MSPmentor 100 focuses on the world’s most successful managed service provider businesses. It leverages fact-based metrics (annual MSP revenue growth, revenue per employee, revenue per managed device, etc.).
• The MSPmentor 250 (here’s a look at the 2008 report) focuses on the personalities you need to know across this industry. The MSPmentor 250 is driven by our survey, word of mouth, personal reputation, personal achievements, etc. We’re certainly not saying our approach is perfect. But we think the MSPmentor 250 report is a natural extension to our daily coverage of the MSP market. We talk to the industry leaders daily. And we discover new MSP experts regularly.

Now that I have your attention: Don’t delay. Please nominate the sharpest executives, entrepreneurs and experts to appear in the MSPmentor 250 report. Our survey is available now.
